My Journey Towards Healthiness and New Habits

Still Working It Off

I am still working on getting healthy. Shew. . . some of these learned behaviors are VERY hard to unlearn.

I just started the P90 this week. It is the original/older version of px90. I am doing it along with following the Weight Watchers guidelines to help me monitor my food intake and portion control.

I have also set a new goal for myself: No fast food for 30 days! This is something that a lot of people have been doing recently. I used to think they were nuts. But, now I am going to be one of those nuts! I do this for a few reasons:

1. It is just not healthy.
2. It is too easy to "cheat" and end up with a hamburger instead of the salad you had planned on.
3. I want to set a good example for my children.
4. I want to see just how much money I save by doing this. I think I am going to be amazed at how much I spent on fast food.

We have decided that an occasional birthday meal/date night meal at a set down restaurant is acceptable and does not count towards this goal. Also, we decided that pizza once every two weeks is ok as well.

This is going to be a HARD goal for me to keep. At this time of the year, it is so easy to just "run through" and grab something for lunch or after school for a snack or dinner. BUT, we will all be better for this.

I soooo hope I can make this goal.
