Okay, I have not made any progress.  In fact, I have actually gained weight since my declaration to lose weight.  Go figure.  This is a little something I like to call “SELF-SABOTAGE”!!  I do it every time.  But I really need to get serious.  My motivation is a 6 on a scale of 10.  Not nearly enough to get up off the couch and participate in exercise.  However, a 6 puts me on the couch watching other people exercise.  That is at least a start, right?  :0)  So, since I have made no progress, I have decided to give up fast food!  This should, hopefully, FORCE me to eat better.  I now find myself eating junk every single day.  This is really not like me.  Fast food is not that great.  In fact, I usually loathe it anyway.  It’s just that I eat there to save time.  I’ve been so busy and so stressed that I just don’t want to prepare a healthy meal when I get home.  Pathetic, I know.  Today I turn over a new leaf.  I’m staying out of the fast food joints!  I’m going to continue to walk (I walked 3 miles yesterday!) and I’m going to start packing my lunch.  This really should help.

I’m also starting a food journal.  I honestly have no idea how many calories I consume everyday.  In the past I have not had a great deal of luck keeping a food journal.  I’m already pressed for time.  Adding one more thing could push me over the edge!  But, as least I’m going to make an attempt to do it.  I’ll let you know how that goes.
