Woke up this morning feeling pretty darn good about this journal that I am keeping on here for the world to see. Well, actually I am the only viewer at this time, but I hope to one day open this blog to the public and let the world know about my struggle through weight loss.
I went to the Kroger today and went crazy in the produce section. I love the idea of eating only organic foods!
Back in the old days, there was no such terminology such as obesity, thrown about on a daily basis. Things of this nature didn't really affect people the way it does now. I am from the south. In the south industry is lead predominately by agriculture. Families planted the seeds, watered the earth, watched the sprouts grow, tended the food as it grew, and reaped the rewards from all the hard work. No pesticides were used during the process of planting, watering, or sowing which made the food much more wholesome and without horrible chemical residue. Not to mention that all that working in that big ole garden more than likely kept all the family thin and healthy.
I went straight to the organic food section, not even concerned with the higher prices, and just started throwing things in my basket. After I assaulted the store, I went home and happily put away my groceries feeling somewhat adult and accomplished.
I purchased all types of "clean foods". Grapes, apples, bell peppers, spinach leaf salad, squash, onions, blueberries, bananas, and carrots were all so colorful riding around in the grocery with me while I tried to only buy the selections I had previously decided upon. It was really hard when checking out not to reach up and grab a Reese's peanut butter cup (my greatest weakness) or so M&Ms or even just a Pepsi. I did resist and felt pretty okay about it. I am having a Coke Zero right now and thinking how much better water more than likely is for me, but hey we all have to indulge. I am extremely sleepy nowadays, so I also went ahead and purchased a women's multi-vitamin. I don't know that I have ever been someone that took vitamins so I am hoping to see an almost instant difference in the way I feel.
This whole weekend was a wash. I didn't eat all that well and the most working out I got done was occasionally tossing a ball into the kitchen for my dogs to run and get. I know. Horrible. I have an extremely nice elliptical machine that my dad gave me for Christmas in the office that I could have been on while watching television. I could have been doing some much needed push ups or squats, but I didn't. I just lazed about all weekend not wanting to get out and do anything at all. When I get home today, I MUST make myself get on the machine for at least 30 minutes. It will work. I have faith. I of course will feel great afterwards having raised my heart rate and got a got bout of cardio in. Well, I will feel great after the shower.
I will let you know tomorrow if I actually ate well and worked out.
Thanks for listening.
