New Beginnings

Well, October was a hard month, for me.  I was forcing myself to make decisions that honestly didn't need to be made.  It stressed me out. 

STRESS = BAD EATING DECISIONS

October brought a car trip, mini-vacation, celebrations, Halloween candy, too many desserts, change of routine, etc. 

ABC = All Bites Count!!!

Well, it has caught up with me.  I went out of town last weekend and realized that my clothes were TIGHT!  Ruh-roh!!

Being away from home (a long car trip) gives me space to analyze my life a little bit.  I have a new game plan on how to shed these extra lbs.

You might ask, how can an exercise instructor gain weight?  Well, as it has been said, 80% of weight loss is diet.  You can work out a lot, but if the diet is out-of-whack, it will slowly catch up with you.

Today was the start of my new beginning.  I look forward to seeing my upcoming hard work pay off.

The point of this post is NOT my pudginess, but creating space and time in your every day life to pinpoint which areas of your life need tweaking and create a plan on how to address them.  Oftentimes when we are caught up in the minutia of our day/lives, we can't objectively recognize what we want to change.  Creating space for yourself, whether it be "alone" time or a trip, etc., can give you the space you need. 

More on this topic in a future post.

Think about it.
