Well, I sure didn’t feel like doing my exercises when I was driving home today (it a bad air day) but I got home, read some blogs, and got motivated and headed out. And sure enough, I found myself enjoying it and feeling better.  I came home and did my DVD, ’cause I can’t easily talk myself out of it since I only do 4 minutes of upper body and 4 minutes of abs currently.  And now, I feel a bit sore but a lot better in attitude.

So thanks again BuddySlim (and Buddies) for inspiring me to walk.

I had 2 vegetarian tacos for lunch today, they were only $1 each.  How many calories can be in something that only costs $1?  Actually, they were low cal, homemade soft shells, beans, tomatoes, onions, lettuce and cheese.  I didn’t get black olives because they were 50 cents more (50%!) and I figured would perhaps double the calories.  The tacos were very good and I’m going to eat them again, much better than my usual pizza that I have there.

Thanks buddies for the comments yesterday.   And Michele, I think I might just join you in not getting on the scale.  Why should I if it depresses me?  I can see doing it if it helps, but I know I am doing the right things and it doesn’t help keep me motivated.  My goal isn’t actually to see the scale go to a specific number. My goal is to get rid of all the fat around my mid section.  I am guessing that the fat weighs about 20 pounds and I will be 20 pounds lighter when its gone.  But who knows.   I figure I’ll worry about specifics when I get closer. Right now, I just have to worry about doing all the things I need to do each day.  Exercise. Eat well. Don’t snack. Drink water. Repeat.
