Setbacks

Ugh! Why is it so freakin hard for me to find a plan and stick to it????? I don't understand the problem.... am I too easily distracted? Am I just complacent with the way everything else is going for me right now? 'Cause aside from this, things are really going pretty well. Or am I really just that lazy??

I hope it's not the lazy. I've GOT to start making changes. I've gained back nearly all the weight I'd lost before because I can't stick with it. And I'm starting to feel physically bad more often. I really NEED to make some changes. So I think that I need to make absolutely sure that I blog every single day whether anyone reads it or not, and I'll need to start divulging every single little nitty gritty detail along the way. If it's in writing, then I can't pretend it doesn't exist. So starting today, I'm moving forward.

On the upside, I've started a yoga routine. I really like it, and it only takes twenty minutes from start to finish. Strangely, I really do feel better and completely relaxed by the time I'm done. At first I figured I'd do yoga in the morning to get my day off to a good start, but after doing the workout one time I think I really should do it before bed. When it was over, I was so relaxed that I didn't want to move, not even a tiny little bit! If I do that in the morning, I'll probably fall asleep driving myself to work. However, if I do this before bed, then I can just lay down and savor the rewards of my yoga-ing, which are manifested in a nice, deep sleep :-)

So my plan is as follows:
Blog EVERY SINGLE STINKIN' DAY!
Stick to the food plan and make menus
Yoga at night
Walks in the afternoon

This is for starters. I kind of look at the yoga as a precursor to pilates. I like pilates, but I'm in no shape to do them. I need to start at a level that's more appropriate to where I'm at, and I think that might have been part of the problem before. It's not easy to make big changes like these, and I think I might have tried to jump in too fast. By taking more baby steps, I hope that I'll be able to stick to it better and be able to say that I've accomplished my goal. So here we go again.....
