Never Let Your Memories Be Greater Than Your Dreams...

I spend so much time hanging on to the size 8 jeans that I used to fit. They have some sort of memory that I hang on to when I felt good, and thought I looked good. Then I became the size I am now- somewhere between a 14 and a 16 depending on the day, and well, you know how it goes. I made the decision to get rid of alot of that old stuff. Infact, I threw them in garbage bags and sent them to my Aunt's house for her kids to wear. I didn't do it because I'm saying I'll never be that size again, I did it because I will be there again. I have to make changes. I'm so quick to give up when I'm tired, and want what I want.

I barely drink soda anymore. Once in a while I do, just because I love a pop with certain foods. I drink water, though I drink no where near enough, I make it a point to carry a water bottle with me, pretty much anywhere I go, so that I always have it with me, and not tempted to buy something from the corner stores, or the vending machines. I'm a coffee addict too. I can't seem to function without it.

I spend so much time looking at these quick easy methods where your "supposed" to drop weight quick... But I've come across a few blogs where people are losing, and show and talk about their struggles, and set backs but their still going for it. It's motivational. I need to be stronger. It's so easy for me to say oh I'll eat it now, and tomorrow I'll be better. Those habits and tendencies need to stop.  So.... I'm going to set a couple goals for the rest of the week until my weigh in on Monday.

Goals:

1. Drink at least 3 (16.9 fl. oz) bottle of water a day
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes 3 times.
3. No fried food.

I'm not going to set a "weight loss goal"- I'm just happy with losing whatever will be lost with the changes that come.
