The day of reckoning has come. It is time, once and for all, to put processed foods behind me and lead a healthy life.
I am tired of flip flopping. I am tired of the weight gain and loss roller coaster. I am tired of writing a blog that is supposed to be inspirational and then failing miserably.
I have been bad lately. Scratch that...I have been abysmal. I have also been pretty invisible on this blog. I guess the two go hand in hand.
I have every excuse in the book...and they are all valid. I did two jobs while Jamie was away, and then the day after he got back I started covering for a colleague who was on vacation so I have done two jobs until tonight, and I have been taking a course at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition. I have barely had time to sleep let alone eat. Monday and Tuesday I really didn't even have time to sleep.
So I made my choices...and they were my choices. I ate burgers out, had chips and coke, had egg salad sandwiches purchased from supermarkets at lunch, and enjoyed Pizza. I also haven't made it to a Weight Watchers meeting in five weeks.
What is the result? I am up about twenty pounds.
I am not depressed...just tired. Tired of getting myself in this situation. I don't feel good.
How ironic is it that I eat crap while spending my spare time studying Nutrition? It is ridiculous.
So this is it. It is time...once and for all...to practice what I learn.
Will I still go out for dinner? Of course. Will I be perfect? Of course not. Will I be as close to perfect as I possibly can while making sure I am not making myself miserable? Absolutely.
So here is to new beginnings and here is to new beginnings once and for all. No more "starting over".
This is it my friends.
The time has come.
I am hoping you will come on this final journey with me if you are not already there.
Be healthy!
I will.
Alan
