The time has come! It's time to start losing weight. I weigh in tonight at work & I'm both excited and scared. Excited because I can begin to lose weight and fit into those small clothes I've saved in my closet for a very long time. Scared because I'm not sure where my journey is going to take me and dealing with issues I have that I know contribute to my weight problem that I have managed to bury deep into food. I like the phase, "I'm a skinny person trapped in a fat person body", ha ha.
Time to get out the scale and food journal. I figure I need to start to write down everything I eat or I will be in denial about what I'm consuming. I am going to follow the American Diabetes Association exchange lists for meal planning. I will start a page in the near future listing the exchanges. I am not sure how to plan out my food because I work 3rd shift. I was talking to my son (personal trainer) who said I should try eating smaller meals rather than 3 larger meals. I have found by going to bed within an hour of getting home and sleeping 6 to 7 hours keeps my body closer to a normal routine like a normal person. Isn't that funny I don't consider myself normal because I work 3rd shift. This is a break through somehow I'm sure. Just because I work 3rd shift doesn't mean I'm not normal! What is normal anyhow? I plan on starting to work out on my treadmill and doing my Gold's Gym Wii workout every other day. Hopefully exercise will help the stress because work can sure cause stress. One of the problems is we have no manager/Foreman on our shift so everyone thinks they are in charge. I just laugh right now and keep out of all the drama. Well I will work on this issue in the near future. So wish me luck and here I go, my journey to becoming the new healthy Theresa forever.
Good Luck! Your posts are rather entertaining. Maybe your daughter could join you with the wii workouts, just an idea?!
