Changes in store for me...

I have decided again it is time to start taking care of myself. I have started to make some changes in my life. 

The first major change was to stop smoking. So far, as of today, it has been 5 days since I quit. I feel that that is a great start. I have done it before (quit that is) I can do it again. This time being forever.

My second major change is to get into shape and lose weight. Of course, this change will be just as difficult as quitting smoking but, it can be accomplished.

In order for me to get into shape and lose weight I need to change the way I eat and exercise. So, as of today, Sunday, February 26, 2012 I have decided to change my eating habits and started to exercise.

In order to do this I will have to track what I eat and how much I exercise. I have made monthly calendars to keep track of the exercising and weight loss and daily pages to keep track of what I eat.

As this is the beginning of my journey of changes there is not much to report on the progress but, I will try and journal my progress one week at at time to track how I have been doing.

Let me first start off by saying, "KUDOS"! Kudos for giving up the cigarettes and kudos for starting a life style change.

Today I heard someone sum up health and fitness: health = eating right, fitness = exercising. The man said, that most people don't have problems exercising, it is what they eat that causes so much harm.

The other thing is a lot of times we tell ourselves we are just not "motivated" enough to start or to continue on, but Ter-Ter, it is more than motivation...it is COMMITTMENT! This is how the man said it, Are we motivated to have a good marriage? Are we motivated to change our lifestyle habits? No, we are COMMITTED to our marriage and we are COMMITTED to a better lifestyle.

You can do this Ter. 99% of the game is played in your mind. Just "DO IT" and make it happen. I am here for you every step of the way.

I love you and I can't wait to read all about your progress. :)
