20 January 2008 - 14:07Things I Need to Work On

I’ve been able to make a lot of good chances since joining WW. I’ve started eating all my vegetables every day and I’ve been cooking at home a lot more. Overall I’m very proud of all I’ve been able to accomplish, but accomplishing goals seems to make mistakes more noticeable. I definitely need to work on some things–mainly weekend splurging and getting more active.I do very well through other week as far as eating, but come the weekend I tend to splurge. I do all sorts of splurging–extra snacks, fried foods, eating late, frozen pizza–all of it. But while I’m eating things I wouldn’t normally at least I’m still remembering to control my portions. I guess a small sliver of frozen pizza is better than a while frozen pizza, right? Baby steps.

The second thing I need to work on it getting more active. I have a desk job where I must be tethered to a phone eight hours a day. It’s hard to fit in fitness when I can’t leave my desk. And I live in a city that isn’t very walking-friendly. I cross my heart and hope to die, the only people who walk here are hookers. Well, there are a few others, but mainly hookers. For reals! Not to mention there isn’t much in walking distance. This town just wasn’t made for walkers. And there doesn’t seem to be any time. Work and school leave little time for anything.

But!Those are all excuses. I know what I need to do–its just a matter of doing it! Today I might not be able to make it to the gym, but I’m sure as heck gonna do enough cleaning to burn a few calories.
