Progress?

What I enjoy most about exercising and getting fit is the feeling of being able to climb stairs without feeling exhausted, being able to move around without feeling as though it's a chore and most of all just sweating it out and noticing little changes like my balance being better than it has been.

What I don't like about exercising is that you have to keep it up, no matter what. When you've made the decision that you're going to loose, you can't just eat less and hope that it's going to be enough. You have to stay motivated and educated.

Today, I'm feeling utterly miserable, I have things going on at work that are upsetting me, things going on personally that are upsetting me so I feel all around unmotivated. So I could do one of two things here, say screw it and eat myself to oblivion and not exercise tonight or I could do the right thing and remember that food can't make me feel better and shouldn't be used to control my feelings. Even writing that down makes me feel a bit better. Food is not therapy. I'll say it one more time. Food is not therapy, though I am looking forward to dinner, I'm marinating boneless pork chops in coconut milk seasoned with paprika, cumin, pepper, salt and red chili powder. Then on the side I'm going to have a medium sized baked sweet potato and a small side salad. Food may not be therapy but it can be fun and I'm not letting that go.

So what am I going to do? I'm going to finish off my laundry, stop feeling sorry for myself and push on. Find a couple of site to read on healthy fit things to do in and around the house and maybe check out Pinterest.

If dinner pans out as well as I hope I'll take some pics and post.
