Well, here it is, 2010. Wow!
Every year I make a resolution. In years past I never finished the resolution except 2008. That was the year I told myself I was getting healthy, joining a gym and loosing the extra, extra poundage I had gain after college. Well from then on, I didn't look back. I kept going through about April/May of 2009 and then for some reason each month after I kept falling back into my old routine. They say a habit can be formed after 20 days. Why then didn't I stay in my good habits? I keep wondering that. I finally realized that I am the type of person that has to be extreme. What I mean by that is by not letting myself have one little piece of candy a day. Everyone says, you don't want to deprive yourself but when I allow myself a little bit of bad stuff here and there I tend to say, "oh I can have a bit more". Before I know it, I was am back to my old ways.
This year, I am cutting out as much sugar as i possibly can. I know it is going to be hard and I'll probably go through a withdrawl. It is a drug because it can be addicting. My new blooger friend and book club member gave up sugar last year and that inspired me. She lost weight too. I will have to pray everyday for strength because I love food and sweets. Wish me luck.
You're still lookin' good, Kimberly!
ReplyDeleteBut I pray you can stay away from the evil-sugar.☻
Love you, Holly
Yeah! It's a hard decision but if it is one you need to make it is worth it. It is hard at first but then you probably won't crave it as much once your body gets used to the change. I won't lie... there are still days where I REALLY want to have that chocolate or ice cream... or BOTH! But I'm learning to live without it. You can do it!! And since you live by yourself you don't even have to worry about anyone else having a stash somewhere in the home. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI plan on having plenty of fruits and veggies at our book club meeting, although I will probably make a dessert too. If we do dinner out together or even just go to Panera, we will help each other by making wiser food choices at these places. You can do it!! Oh, I'll also be your Exercise Nazi (haha that's what I used to call a friend of mine). I already called the gym today, but they are closed.
ReplyDeleteDid you get your Valentine's Day decorating done yet?
ReplyDeletegood luck.....now wish me good luck....:0) <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good luck wishes.
ReplyDeleteNope no valentine up yet but i have them out and i need more. Got most of the christmas down.
Oh, I totally know what you are saying! I can do well, but as soon as I start to feel comfortable enough to "enjoy" food again, I gain the weight back - story of my life. I hope you have a good year this year - I'm trying to!
