Let the competition commence!

So...we are starting a weight loss/healthy lifestyle accountability program. Of our own making, of course and as always! I'm bad at the journaling idea, but we will give this a go.

I will start with listing what will be hard for me:

1. I live at home...when my parents make food, I feel obligated to eat what they make, whether or not it is healthy.

2. I LOVE food. Quite possible, I am a food-aholic.

3. Many exercises I am not physically capable of doing.

4. If I don't see results moderately fast, I always give up.

Now for how I will combat these things:

1. Two words. Portion. Control.

2. I need to find healthy foods that I love jsut as much as pasta and potatoes. Seriously.

3. I need to blow up my exercise ball and get a pilates video. I think that is my ticket. And ride my bike a ton more! That is easier on my ankle, and still gives me a cardio workout.

4. Accountability (the main reason behind this blog), a partner in crime, and encouragement.

So...for lunch today before I go off to teach a sectional...I am having an avocado with ONE serving of tortilla chips. Not the best, but still moderately healthy. And for dinner, chicken with brown rice and mixed veggies.

I can do this...
