First Step
One of the hardest things for me is eating. I have a huge sweet tooth. Rodney and I both have HUGE chocolate addictions. He is actually worse than me (I think)!!! We also love eating out. So after I mentioned all of this to him, he seems to be willing to eat healthy, at least with me. Which is great! Last night we were talking about grabbing dinner, and he actually was pushing for something healthy! So we got Subway. He got 6 cookies, I didnt eat any of them! I did, however, eat a few macaroons. One negative point last night was that we drank quite abit of bubbly wine - so Im sure that the calories that I saved at dinner I consumed in the wine.
This morning we had some french toast (2 pieces for me) and a cup of coffee. When I came home, I made a salad, huge salad - composed of lettuce, spinach, carrots, celerey, cheese and onions. I packed some into 2 half whole wheat pitas with some ranch salad dressing. Along with that, I had a huge orange. Excellent lunch. I feel really positive about it.
So, I have to stop buying convience stuff - KD is a good example. If it isnt here...I wont eat it.
A very positive thing is that I eat healthy at work. With eating healthy, this will eliminate a lot of spending money that I used on fast food. Double bonus.
I also have to be more conscious about emotional eating. This started about 5 years ago. Chocolate and carbs (pasta, chips and popcorn) are a weakness. Another huge weakness is pop. I love the fizz! So Im liking club soda and lemon juice. Its all about the fizz!!!
I think that I have pretty much decided to join the YMCA. I really dont want the added expense of the gym, but the Y has so many options, gym, swim, classes etc Stace seems willing to work out with me. I need to be honest with myself. I need to do things and not make excuses. I am wondering if I should give myself one month on working out at home - with Tae Bo, Pilates and walking. Ill take walking out! Shayde needs it. Unless its raining. :)
Rodney, dont let me not walk Shayde when Im at your place!!! :)

Subway's actually the only fast-food chain that I can visit and not feel horrible about. You have to be careful, though... a greasy "steak and cheese with double-extra mayo" isn't terribly good for you. I usually opt for a 6" turkey-and-ham on whole wheat, with honey mustard and a few hot peppers.
Damn! Now my mouth is watering. And there's a Subway two blocks from me.
Interesting site. Useful information. Bookmarked.
