Keeping up with my resolutions has been challenging the first couple of days. I have found myself waiting until bedtime to read my Bible. Fortunately the first couple of readings have been short and easy to get through but I know I will come across readings requiring more attention and focus and time to get through. This will be something to work on in the next few days. Maybe I can read while the girls are napping in the afternoon or try to get up a little earlier in the mornings and do my reading before or after my daily devotions.
Diets - I don't really believe them in the obvious definition of the word. I don't believe in starving myself or doing some type of extreme no-carb or no sugar or protein shake type of plan. Instead I want to focus on eating healthier, more balanced meals and snacks. I want to lose the weight and keep the weight off and forever change my eating habits. I have a tremendous sweet tooth and to be honest I can't imagine giving up all sweets. There is a lot to be said about portion control and moderation.
My eating has not been horrible the past couple of days but it could be a lot better. Not to start making excuses but I desperately need to do some grocery shopping. We are out of pretty much everything at the moment so I have done the best I could with what we have here. Yesterday we ate out because we were at my father-in-law's for our Christmas celebration. I think I did pretty decent with my choices. As I worked on my grocery list earlier I made sure to think about some easy but good lunch and breakfast options for myself. I am confident the coming week will be an improvement!
I have not started any kind of exercise, other than keeping up with the kids. The next couple of days my mom and I will be out and about shopping. It is so cold here so I figure I'll be running in and out of stores carrying one of the girls. That can be considered exercise, right? Okay, maybe not the exercise I need but my goal is to start some type of exercise by the end of the week.
