A week filled with Cranberry walnut oatmeal cookies, Jimmy John’s, and lucky charms is not a good thing, health wise and scale wise. Again, the hormones need to step up and take the blame. Since they are now on their path back to a regular normalcy, so am I.
If there was bad food to be had, I had it. I have also found I am very much a Flexatarian. I eat a meatless diet for the most part and will eat chicken from time to time, I had a Falafel Gyro this weekend and it was good. I never eat any red meat, lamb or pork, but it was good. I found an article that explained all the different “Tarians” from Vegetarian on. This is how I know I am a Flex, this week anyway.
September 6, 2008 is when I started this blog, and had I followed my own goals for working out and staying on track, I would be within five pounds or so of where I would like to be. I am disgusted at my lack of will power lately. I stocked up on healthy foods for this week, and with the weather again looking rather nice I have no excuse not to push myself. In my basement, I have: A treadmill that is never used (I prefer walking outside) A punching bag, a weight bench with all the different size weights anyone would need, a weight pulley, a dozen or so exercise bands in different sizes and strengths, jump robes, a stability ball, a 27 inch TV and a host of work out DVD’s. Yet, here I sit, with flab still on my arms, and a million excuses or mental ones anyway on what I could be doing aside from exercising. I am fortunate to have this stuff, and it is about time I utilized it. Daily walking only gets me so far when I am eating like crap or when I am not partaking in other activities. For nine years I have lived off of a golf course, I can see it from my back yard, and it is so close a golf ball even hit my roof once. I have golfed it once, and it is free to all the residents in this community. I also love Tennis and we have free courts, yet I have only played a half dozen times. Both are good forms of exercise and I plan to take lesson for both this spring. Enough is enough.

So my main goal this week is to jump on the weights and some of the DVD’s I own. I would like to be five pounds lighter by this time next week; I think if all goes like I have it planned in my head, then it is a good possibility. Not all things in my head go as planned, if they did, life would be a whole lot different and less interesting.

From the outside, looking at what you've been doing to get healthy, you seem to be doing such a fantastic job. You're seriously one of my role models for working to get myself to make better nutrition and exercise decisions.
Stay strong and focused, and I know you'll get where you want to be. You have that kind of drive.
Thanks for the nice comment, I think my drive is often blocked out by Jimmy John's or other places lately. I think I just need to get my head on straight again. Until then, I blame the hormones.
