Sigh...

Okay, I have come to the conclusion that I have not made a commitment to this yet.  I haven't made a decision to really do this.  Instead I have been coasting...some days I will some days I won't.  Some days the cheeseburger is just to great a temptation.  Some days the bed looks better than the bike...

So yesterday I finally made the decision.  I've had it with dipping my toes in the water.  I'm going to dive in.  I didn't phase myself into being a vegitarian.  One day I ate meat, the next day I decided I wouldn't anymore. 

I'm diving.  I'm wet.  I have to keep strong while grocery shopping and keep the veggies in the house.  I have to resist temptation while making meals with the kids.  I have to ignore what the table is set with and eat my dinner in front of me. 

I have printed off a four weeks to a better body exercise and meal regime and started following it yesterday.  So far so good. 

Yesterday I woke up and had two fried eggs.  For lunch was a garden sald with a tablespoon of tuscan italian dressing with a touch of canned tuna added.  For supper I had the salad and a couple pieces of broiled pork tenderloin.  I've been drinking tons of water.  When my husband went through his late night snacking phase, I had a handful of almonds, a couple raisins and a bit of my daughters popsicle.  I excercised for 20 minutes on my stationary bike with arm weights and movements.  I did a daily 100.  I did a minute of sit ups.  It wasn't a perfect day, but it was better than nothing.

Today I skipped breakfast as we had a trip into the city to do some grocery shopping.  Grocery shopping went well.  Lots of veggies came  home to keep me focused for the week.   We already don't eat processed foods and white flour, so it wasn't difficult to stay away from that stuff.  Lunch brought forth the array of fast food emptations, but we ate at Costco and I was able to say no to the hot dogs, pizza and poutine, although it was all on the table in front of me.  Instead I had the Apple Pecan Chicken Salad.  I only used half the packet of the balsamic venegar dressing... Tonight I resisted all but a taste of the hamburger helper type meal we made for the kids and ate a garden salad with a few peices of cheese and the italian dressing on.  Lots of water...but it was delicios and I am full.  Now to resist the temptation of the late night snack.  I did purchase some frozen yogurt bars that are only about 120 calories, so hopefully they taste fairly yummy.  I haven't had a workout yet, but I'm sure I will get that in tonight once the kids have settled.

So I have made the commitment.  I have cut myself off.  I will do this. I will I will I will....
