Okay, bad day came and went and I'm still here and happy. :)

So, I had a bad day as you saw by my last post. That is OK. I knew it would happen, it invariably does every time I start to get consistent with workouts. This time it took longer to happen, that is a good sign. Also, I managed to pick myself up the next day and keep on going. I got through the bad day and the feelings of hopelessness that came with it.

I'm sure I will still get sad sometimes about my size, I do have a long way to go after all. It isn't like one month is going to have me back in a normal, non obese size waistband. This is going to take a good long time of working hard. I'm up for it now though! I really am.

I have many things I am thankful for. My legs and arms are not that far gone and pretty darn muscular. That is really great and I am happy about it. They have a tad of fat to shed but it isn't too bad. I'm happy with them for now.

Now that I seem to have really found my "answer" to consistent workouts I want to address my eating even further than I have already. I must guard greatly for awhile against going back to old ways.

I want to drink only water during the day. I love to have stevia sweetened tea, while it has zero calories it keeps me from drinking adequate water and the caffeine leaves me dehydrated. So, only water. Maybe tea with supper.

I would like to start drinking green tea at night when I am watching TV with my husband instead of chowing on his yummy homemade tortilla chips.

I will add in one serving extra of veggie or fruit per day until it is to where I think I should be.

I have more things I want to try but I don't want to overload my brain. I will write those down later. :D
