Faking it!
I have to thank my buddy Shelli for her tough love. I was having a moment and she called me on it and told me that if I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm and willpower to just fake it. So, I am having a pep talk with myself and I am going to tell myself the following things:
- I love to drag my arse out of bed in the morning to run. No, really. I do.
- Salads taste so much better than burgers.
- There’s no need for chocolate before bed.
- Beer is for chumps.
- One plateful is plenty.
I am going to write these in my little notebook right now and hope that if I keep repeating them, they will eventually stick. The power of positive thinking? Here’s hopin’!
Quick vacation coming up, full of potential pitfalls. I have said that my goal is to walk/jog 2 miles each of the days that I am visiting my grandfather. The only days that I get off are the 2 travel days (it’s 9.5 hours by car.) I have already told my husband about this goal, so now I am accountable.
No need for chocolate

Girl you are strong! Do what works best for you but don’t give up!
I love it when a plan comes together !!
Also love going on holiday and taking my running shoes - great way to feel grounded in the place you are visiting - you feel like you own it a bit more - going to have to blog now, darn you!

Love the positive thinking! I’m going to try to follow your 1,2,4,and 5!
And when I can’t have a day to get activity in … those are the days I need to remind myself to REALLY buckle down w/ eating right!
Don’t give in. =)
