Okay, this should be easy, but it hasn't been for me. I'm a very independent person, and I think I must do it all without any help. I know it is a crazy way to think, but somehow my brain thinks I shouldn't rely on anyone. Just ask my parents, friends, and even Sunshine. I even discussed this with a friend of mine today as she is the same way.
I'm still working out what it is I really need help with, but I did contact a friend who is a dietitian to help guide me in the right direction regarding nutrition. Even when you know what to do, it is a huge challenge to change your lifestyle. As for exercising, I'm struggling with it. As I've stated before, I'm trying to go during lunch, but this week hasn't gone so well. My motivation has been a little off, but so has everything else. I'm going to reevaluate, and pick back up either this weekend or Monday. I didn't even walk Pecan around the block last night, because I'm still limping from Tuesday's workout. I don't think I will be using that machine for a while. Going back to the elliptical and treadmill, and I have to figure out when I can do some toning. Maybe Sunshine and I need to look at paying for a trainer or find a friend who can tell us what we need to do. Any takers? :-)
Good news about my support network is that I have a great one at work. My employer even has a wellness program that encourages everyone to live better. I'm going to a food demonstration Monday during lunch, and the menu sounds yummy (chicken breast with mushrooms, green beans with almonds, fresh fruit, and casesar salad) all for under 500 calories. I'll let you know how it goes.
Came across this picture today, and I thought it is a good demonstration of how much sugar is in our drinks. Wish I could remember where I found it to give proper credit.
we had the same display at work... with the exception of my one soda last night (and not the bladder buster size) i pretty much am only a consumer of coffee (black or maybe with light cream), tea, or water... or beer.. but not at work.
