Ok, stuff's getting real. Tuesday I start working out with a new friend who is seriously motivated and in better shape than I am. I already know that I put more weight on someone expecting from me than expecting from myself so this should work out well. Add to that the fact that my pants BARELY fit and things just have to change. I've gotten really really lazy and my excuses are so lame.

I'm in the middle of buying a house too. I'm learning that I stress eat, whether romantically, work or otherwise related. I need to care about me more in that aspect. Tired of feeling crappy. It's hard to really focus on more than one major task at a time and I've been in money mode for the last 3 years. It's hard to break away from that a bit because I've been SUCCESSFUL. It's addictive. And I don't like feeling like I'm floundering, which I know I will for a while when I start the physical part.

***Walked 1.25 mi tonight, took my time but worked up a sweat between the heat and being out of shape. It's better than laying on the couch but I've got a long way to go. I keep thinking of my Dad here with me for encouragement (he's SOOOO in shape it's wild and he's 75). I think I'll NOT tell him and then when I go to visit him, it'll be a good surprise.***

It hit me the other day on the way home while I was thinking about that. What are you AFRAID of?? That's really what it comes down to. Until I answer that and deal with it, things won't really change. You gotta get mad at yourself for whatever that issue is. Things don't change until the risk of the change is less than the pain of where you are. I'm at the tipping point I think where it's about even.

I think we're probably very alike :) Encouragement and accountability are as necessary as the diet.

You can do it! Stay strong and take it one meal at a time and one day at a time.
