Still Trying

Here it is the begining of March and I still haven't been able to get to the gym on a regular schedule.  It isn't because I don't want to, I am always able to talk myself out of it.  It is so difficult to pick the right foods to eat and stick with a diet without the proper support and routine.  I took my weight the other day and am up to 400. 

When I was coming in to work tonight, I saw the end of "The Biggest Loser" on television.  I thought that I can do this.  I don't need anyone, just me.  It has always been me.  I know all the steps to take, and what choices that I should be making.  I just have terrible will power.  I know that I can do this, I just have to make the decision to.  I was putting together a new bed over the weekend, and this task involved a lot of bending and twisting.  I also had to sit on the floor for extened periods of time.  By the time that Monday evening rolled around, and I had to go to work, I was in extruciating pain.  I was lucky that my pain meds kicked in when they did.  I still wonder how I made it through the night.  I am feeling better tonight, but this was an eye-opening experience. 

I am still trying to get more whole grains into my diet, and make better choices when eating out.  I have to work on getting the kitchen clean so I can start preparing my meals the way that I need to, instead of eating out all the time.
