Miles

So, in the last couple weeks I have quit Weight Watchers and quit the gym. Not so good really, but I needed to start over. Weight Watchers just isn't working for me this time and I haven't been going to the gym, so why pay the huge fee?

But that doesn't mean I'm giving up. I'm starting over and figuring this all out for myself. The first thing I'm doing is working on my bad habits. Each week I'm setting goals for myself to work on my bad habits. I'm working on eating slower. Not eating from the fridge. Writing everything I eat down. And being less lazy. Because I'm sooooooo lazy.

So, to be less lazy, I've started the Couch to 5k Program. Many people know the program because it is extremely popular. Basically it takes you from complete laziness to running a 5k in 9 weeks. Today I completed the first day of week 3. Not bad. And this is adding miles, slowly, to my overall mile goal.

But, I'm doing more. I'm reading books about diets. Not diets as in lose weight diets, but on healthy diets as in balanced diets. I'm trying to get a handle on what I should be eating to fuel my body. I'm going to develop my own plan and follow that. Clearly it will have to based on the basic principle of more calories spent than consumed, but it will also need to be healthy. With lots of fruits and veggies. Ultimately it will be no different than the WW plan, but it will be, because it will be on my terms and will focus on my problems specifically, like late night eating, eating too fast, and eating because I'm bored.

But running, that's the amazing part. I'm going to sign up for the Reindeer Run in December. That will be very cool.
