Today I will do something!


Okay today I will get up...soon...and exercise. It will be good, really. I am amazed at how often I believe that I have the capacity to recreate myself. Seriously after half a century I should know better. It amazes me how often I am willing to begin anew.

This holiday season has been tough. I drink too much wine and eat too much junk. It is not the empty calories in my glass of wine (well two) that I worry about as much as my "wine attitude". The one that says "hey look chex mix: healthy, low calorie (says so on my low fat bag) ...tomorrow we will work out hard". Oh and then I have that "who cares anyway" conversation. Hell I worked my whole life to look good, from my 30's and into my early 40's I ran everyday, everyday four to five miles. So eat the chex mix...dig for those fat filled peanuts!

Okay well today I am going to try and work out, fight my cold off with some sweat. I will hurt, my hip (the big excuse for not running anymore) will hurt, I will take ibuprofen and best of all: Believe that tomorrow I will actually do it again.

  1. This sounds familiar to me. I have been losing and gaining the same five pounds all year, and I need/want to lose 15. With the wine, and holiday treats, I'm not getting there anytime soon. I really need to try harder, because I'm not feeling good about myself.

  2. I know it is crazy. My whole world was blown up with my father passing away on Monday...so when things go wrong in my life...I cook! I spent the whole darn week feeding people and cooking. I need a buddy to keep me honest...stay with me on this one!
