Ack.

Why I cannot seem to get a handle on this whole thing escapes me. I need a new plan. I need to have the whole family on board (as supporters minimally) with me. I need to work my plan. (Really, I need someone to personally ride my ass to keep me on track, but alas that is something I cannot get…)

I REALLY need my foot to stop hurting when I increase my activity. Oh. New (supportive) shoes might help with that.

On that note…We had a Chinese Food Feast last night for dinner. I ate a lot. I did NOT stuff myself, but I did eat more of some things than I should have (if at all). That was last night. This is today. Today, I did much better, all day long. The only questionable thing would be the glass of wine I had this evening.

I worked out yesterday (half-assed, but I did it). I worked out today (probably three-quarter-assed this time). Tomorrow, I will work out. Whole-assed even.

Meanwhile, I am working on a plan. First step, with whatever I decide, will be to once again banish the crap from the house.

Here’s what I am thinking so far. I think I need a fairly structured plan in the beginning. But, I have zero confidence that I will not start to “work the plan” in the “fool the rules” kind of way. I had been doing the low glycemic eating “plan” and got down 18 pounds. Now I am back up 6 from letting things slide. Other than the weight gain, and the slight tightness of my pants, I had no other indications that I was failing so miserably. And then, I ate Chinese food (with no msg), but today, I am so puffy and my joints are so stiff and I feel really blah. I do not know for sure that is what is responsible (or that I am catching whatever illness is currently going through the preschool classroom), but I am sure that it had some role in it.

I signed up for the Discovery Health National Body Challenge (again… third time). It just did not do it for me. Now, I am looking into the Body for Life plan. I looked at it once before, but I think I just wasn’t up to the commitment then. I am pretty certain that I am up to it now, but I want to divide it into three parts (4 weeks each for the total 12 weeks). Until now, I have always borrowed the books from the library, but I ordered it from Amazon today. I should get it in a few days. Meanwhile, I have the books from the library (again) to check it out (again). The biggest benefit was all the meal planning involved. Then I allowed myself to get lazy and I leaped off the wagon. So, I started it on Sunday, and I am going to struggle through the first 4 weeks to gain my footing (physically and mentally).
At any rate, no matter how you look at it, I need to get my act (and my ass) together and just do it for my health, for my vanity, for myself, for my waistline, for my family.
