So for the past twenty four hours I’ve lost my resistance to tempting foods and I’ve been eating horribly! Last night I started craving pizza so I went across the street (which is temptation in itself since I live in “little Italy” of the Bronx) and got a slice. Here in the Bronx a slice of pizza is about 3 times the size of a normal slice.  But I ate it. Two hours later I ordered nachos deluxe. And today since I was working a long shift I had half of an order of baked ziti and half of an eggplant parm sandwich. Ugghhh!!! I had been doing so well but today alone I fell off the wagon…hard! Hopefully tomorrow I can find my resistance again…it’s worth it to make good food choices!…especially since I have a trip to Cancun coming up.

So I’ve been able to keep up with exercising for the past few days and I really am trying to make good food decisions…but I’m sooo hungry!!! But..we’ll see how it goes…

So today is the second day of my trying to incorporate exercise into my life. I went to the gym this afternoon and ran/walked again for a half hour. Today I tried to run more than I walked. After that I did a few more of the weight machines, but the area was pretty crowded so I didn’t get to all of them…not sure that I would have even if the area wasn’t crowded. Today I’ve been trying to work on my portions, and I want to cut white carbs out of my diet but that’s going to be pretty hard. Tonight I’ll be eating dinner at a street fair going on in front of my house, so it probably won’t be anything remotely healthy for me….but I’m thinking portions!

so today is the first day of incorporating exercise into my life. I just went to the gym and ran/walked for a half hour and then I tried to do some of the weight circut machines. There were alot more guys in the gym, and in the weight area so I ended up leaving b/c I was pretty uncomfortable. But hopefully tomorrow I can finish up the circut. I’m going to try to cut down on the bread that I eat throughout the day, and my portion sizes.

Okay, so I’m definetly still struggling with my motivation. I’ve realized though, what I really need to do is exercise. Although my diet could use some work ( b/c I often eat huge portions and lots of them), I generally eat natural food b/c I’m both a vegetarian and lactose intolerant. So that doesn’t leave a lot of leeway. So my new goal is to get myself moving every day. Even if it’s just 10 minutes on the elliptical. Hopefully once I make exercise a daily routine I can really start to incorporate it into my life and take on some hardcore workouts.

So over the past week or so I’ve been completely loosing my motivation. I’ve been eating too much, and the wrong things and I just don’t have the energy to exercise.  This really bothers me because I’ve just finished school and was looking forward to the summertime to really focus on eating and spending more time outdoors (I would like to incorporate running outside etc. into my lifestyle). I want so badly to have exercise become part of my daily routine but I’d just rather relax!! What does a girl have to do to shed some pounds!! Ughh! Why do I have to think about exercising so much when it’s recreation for so many people!
