GOTTA DO THIS THANG CALLED CHANGE

HERE I SIT.  Thinking about my day.  Laundry in, electronic mail checked, breakfast of champions drank, I'll walk this morning, cool off, wash up, get dressed for the day, fix a salad, rest, go get the snail mail if any.  Track meet today.  

How I can stay on my Lana Turner Diet today when I won't be HOME around supper time for that delicious steak.  Hubby suggested that we go to a steak house in the early afternoon before the Track Meet, order a steak meal, cut the steak in half, eating the first half in the restaurant and slicing the other half into thin bites to place in a TO GO BOX to bring with me so I can nibble on the boxed portion around a regular supper time period.  Sounds like a plan.

The week has gotten away from me.  After I walk, I need to rest and do a few chores about the house.  Seems like I rest more than I use to.  Taking my vitamins to help with the FATIGUE ISSUES I have.  Working at getting SUGAR out of my diet.  It's like a drug.  Sugar does things to our bodies that isn't healthy.

I have some pictures I need to email my Hubby so I can get him to print off on photo paper.  I want to give a newly married couple copies of their reception that I went to last December.  I'll see them in person this week-end to personally hand them these pics.  

This week-in I have a Graduation Reception to attend which will be fun.  Two grandsons graduating.  One from High School and one from Graduate school.  Time marches on and I mustn't skip a beat.  

Went walking and had to have a change of plans as the football field and track were heavily populated with kids and adults having a Track Meet.  I was meeting hubby at the track so I rode downtown with him where he let me out to where I could just walk HOME.  I didn't get my mile in, but will continue walking throughout the day so that counts for something.

Staying in motion is a must.  Gotta do this thang called change to be pro-active toward weight reduction.  I stepped on the scales and had lost 2 1/2 pounds.  Gotcha.  Wonderful.

After viewing my full grown body, I can admit I am in a world of hurt.  A world of hurt.  Not to give-up or get discouraged, I have to be in motion of doing something good and healthy for my temple.  What enters the gateway can do a world of hurt.  Why is it so difficult to exchange junk food for real food?  It doesn't have to be so difficult.  It just has to be.  Rebooting my thoughts about snack foods and quick fixes that come in fast foods can be rerouted and ignored.

Buying organic is viewed by many as too expensive so the cheaper route is taken.  That cheaper route being junk food, highly processed so called food, etc.  In the long run, the junk food has had an active part in making you fat and unhappy.  You really are not saving money when you buy low quality junk food to feed yourself and family.  You're not saving a thing, because if you get sick, you'll be paying for it one way or the other.  You'll be feeding sickness and disease that will eventually catch up with you and your loved ones.  Staying healthy is what I am aiming for.  Losing weight is what I am aiming for.  Having a better frame of mind is what I'm aiming for.   

I'm doing this.
