Keep Going

Ok.... so. I have an amazing boss! They got me a a personal trainer/nutritionist as a Christmas present. The holidays were a little rough, but I am back into my routine. It's crazy how just a few weeks out of your routine can knock you off track. All of my muscles are aching.
To begin, I have to journal pretty much everything about my day. What time I get up, what time I eat and what I eat, what time I drink and what I drink, what time I exercise and what I do and for how long, and what time I go to bed. It really puts things in perspective and it's alot harder to eat something that's not healthy for you when you have to put it in writing. It makes you evaluate yourself and helps you to be aware of what you're putting in your body.
I have done a food journal before, but since I wasn't really accountable to anyone, it didn't work out so well. So if you decide this is something you want to do, have an accountability partner!
It is really hard to lose weight by yourself, but it's not impossible. With the right people to help you and the right motivation you can do it. I was thinking the other day about addictions and this is what I came up with. If you're an alcoholic, a drug addict, or even a sex addict, you can live without these things. You can quit them cold turkey and once your free from them, you never have to face it again. I believe food addiction is the hardest addiction to break. Because unlike all the other addictions, you can't just stop eating. You have to face it at least 3 times a day. I know I can do this! It's going to take alot of hard work and determination, but I believe in myself. So I'm declaring, I will not give up or back down! I will do it this time!! This curse that has plagued my family, will be broken with me! :D To be cont.....
