Need to lose weight, but in a healthy way. I"ve been saying that for two years, but have only been gaining. Things I am going to do for two weeks:
-Stop drinking. Period. Starting today, I will be allowed one beer per week. And it will be hard, since I drink a LOT. Although I rarely get drunk, I can drink on average 5 beers a day, and that is about 1000 calories right there. Hopefully instead I can use something else *coughcough* to replace my substance usage, that is much healthier.
-Start drinking coffee in the morning, with 2% milk. It will get me going in the morning and will help me with replacing alcohol.
-Stop eating all refined sugars. I've already done that today, but not more for the rest of the day or the rest of the week. I plan on buying some chewing gum to help me with my sweet tooth and to resort to raw food sweets to help me with my chocolate cravings.
-Continue to bike to work once my ankle is healed. I sprained my ankle when I fell down the stairs the other day (when I was drunk), but I almost have full function again, it just hurts like a bitch on occasion, so I think I will ride my bike home tonight and save it from its week of exile on the sidewalk.
-Play on that Wii Fit! I was starting to do that again but I sprained my ankle. But I will be better enough soon to use it.
-Do my yoga again in the morning! This will be easier because I won't be drinking, which is what has often kept me from doing yoga in the afternoon (that or eating something bad).
-Get up early. Now that Brendan has a teaching job, he gets up at 7:30 in the morning. Time for me to get up with him and do housewifey things to get myself into gear: Dishes, coffee, feed cats, etc.
OK! I will start updating this as often as possible to keep myself in check. If anyone is reading this... Uh... Please don't judge. I probably haven't talked to any of you in at least a year or so, and only a few of you know about my disordered eating in high school that has lead to my inability to have a normal relationship with food. Now that I can enjoy eating, I do it too much. It's all been about extremes, and even when I try to stop myself, I just keep going. So hopefully this will help a little. I feel that drinking less and not eating any kind of sweets will really help. Whoohoo!
