Day One: The Decision

As I am sitting here at the computer being productive in no kind of way. I absolutely feel disgusted. I literally do not feel good. I have been a nurse for going on 2 years and worked in the medical field for 5 years. I know better than living a sedentary lifestyle. I never workout. I eat what I want. I will say this: I do like to eat healthy things; however, I like to eat a lot of it. I also like to eat a lot of unhealthy things. My goal is to decrease my proportions, workout 30min-1hr daily, and drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. This is WAY easier said than done.  My weakness is Milo's sweet tea :) I will not completely take things I love out, because you have to have some treats every now and then. I will, however, limit myself to one glass of tea a day (half sweet, half unsweet of course). The reason I am writing this blog is because I feel if I write these out and other people can see, then I am being held accountable in some way. I am not trying to say that I am an extremely overweight person. I just want to be healthy and happy with my body. I need encouragement. I am going to weigh every Monday morning, same scale, at approximately the same time. I feel more determined than I ever have. I am 25 years old; therefore, if I do not make a change now it is going to become even harder. So I'm going to lift my bottle of water to 2012. May it be a HEALTHY and HAPPY one! I pray that it will be a "Reinvention of my Health" God Bless.
