I wish' .... I had the willpower to
stay on one particular diet,
and it would be ______!
What an appropriate topic for this week, the week after I have eaten nothing but candy. Really, I am pretty sure I had Hershey chocolate eggs for lunch at least twice last week. (They only come out at Easter so I have to get my fill when I can.)
There is not really a name for the diet I want to stick with. I believe it is called "eating a balanced diet and exercising". That is right. No hardcore stuff here. I just wish I could cut back on the sugar, increase the fruits and veggies (ewww) and exercise. But, for some reason, I can't seem to do it. I would love to be able to ride on a Saturday with my daddy's group (50 to 75 miles) or run a marathon with my aunt. Instead, I stay home and eat cinnamon rolls on Saturday mornings and can't run more than a mile.
I have actually been thinking a lot about this lately. The weather has been getting warmer and it looks like we will be making an appearance at the beach this summer. I have been looking at gyms and thinking about what I want to do to get in shape. Have I actually done anything? NO! I am getting really good about talking about it and I have become and authority on local gyms, what they offer, how much, do you have to sign a contract...
I am hoping that I will find the willpower, time and energy to start to workout. Between school, kids and their activities and my husband I am just wiped out. How do you find the time and energy to workout/exercise in all that you have going on?
I am so with you on the eating nothing but candy this week! Easter is not exactly diet friendly! I am hoping to start eating right and exercising too! Good luck! ( :
ReplyDeleteI'm with you- my diet was "self control"- in order to "eat right and exercise"- I have the knowledge, I just need to make it happen. Here's to self control and finding time!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds easy but its not. Honestly all you have to do is set small goals for yourself and reward yourself. Its the simple ones that are really the hardest :)
ReplyDeleteEaster candy has been my breakfast and lunch this week haha... Maybe after I've devoured all the chocolate and Reese's Eggs I will make it happen for me as well... GOOD LUCK! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to be on the self control diet! What a great post, thanks for sharing1
ReplyDeleteI am horrible with stuff like this. I used to like to do karate but now with the kiddos I don't like to do anything for me. I have to start though and so do you!
ReplyDeleteI know it's probably cliché, but having a workout buddy is what helps me to stay on track. We do yoga together about twice a week, which is probably not enough, but it's definitely better than nothing!
ReplyDeleteOh girl you can do it!!! I am all for moderation, but I am hoping to minimize all processed foods!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be your workout buddy and motivational sister in law :)
ReplyDeleteHow about NOT giving up candy & good treats? The "Eden Diet" lets you eat what you want... as long as you're hungry. :)
