Figuring it out

By trying we can easily endure adversity. Another man's, I mean.- Mark Twain


Trying can be really tiring.  I mean I know what I have to do and in some ways how to get there.  But actually sitting down and doing it can be really really tough.  And tiring.  I accomplished some things since the last post.  Mainly keeping up with writing in my food journal, which is really hard.  I do give myself props because i am really noting everything, but what I am seeing isn't as bad as it could be.  Maybe because I am used to it or maybe because I really am a more honest eater?  I don't know.

I did start something else last night which I truly believe is where it is going to make a difference.  I did an exercise video.  Ok, it wasn't all that exciting but for five minutes I did the whole video.  So the challenge will be to continue that for the next thirty days and then up the videos.  Exercise has been my weak area of all of this loosing weight thing so I am sure with increasing my exercise that I should see some results.

This morning I got up and did something else I am proud of; having breakfast at home and making myself lunch.  Sadly thing should not make me excited but it did.  Knowing that what I packed for lunch is what I am going to be eating does take some of the fun out of eating, however it make me happy to know its good for me and I don't have to go far for it.

So eating healthy and working out are two big goals for right now and I know that; but I am also trying to get my apartment in a livable condition.  Not that it wasn't before, however my roommate and I have been living in our apartment for over two weeks and there are still boxes everywhere.  The challenge (at least for this week) is to get it put together and everything put away.  While doing that of course we need to figure out what needs to go, which is a challenge in and of itself.  So tonight I want to have everything put away and a list made of what else needs to be done to make it livable.

One doable goal at a time.
