Gaining control

It has finally become clear to me that I am in control of what I eat and what I do. Took me 24 years and 360 days to realize this but hey...it takes me a while to catch on. My 25th birthday is on Saturday [Jan 10th] and I want to make my 25th year my healthiest! I think I can do it...lol. Noooooo I know I can do it. I have little to no will power and I'm just struggling to find some. For the past while I was looking in the middle of chocolate bars and ice cream scoops but that has proven to be a mistake. I know it's there somewhere....maybe in a dusty old box downstairs. Where would you be if you were will power?

Bonham and I have been doing well in terms of eating a proper meal every night. It's important for little miss Ariel aswell. She needs proper nutrition just as much, if not more, than we do. No more take-out and no more junk food. Just that move alone has done wonders for our waist line. I know it's only been a few days short of a week but atleast we don't feel bloated anymore. Even the word bloated makes me cringe....

Recouperating...

The first day of 2009 has come and gone [it is now 12:37am so technically the day is done] and I feel pretty good. My body itself is recouperating from last nights shenanigans but mentally I'm doing well. Bonham and I went over to our good friend's new place and we had a really fun filled New Years which included a few too many 'candy in a glass' on my part but we did have a wonderful night!

Bonham and I are reading a waist management book together and we both finished the intro and are onto chapter one. It's a great book that is going to teach us about our bodies and the different chemical reactions different foods have within our bodies. I refuse to do any more fad diets so hopefully this is what we're looking for!

I can say we ate healthy foods today. Whole grain rice was included in our supper for once. Oh yes and we had breakfast this morning and didn't over do it! [Normally holiday breakfasts end up with me gaining a dress size]

I am off to bed now as I promised myself no more staying up til 2am and wondering why I'm tired the next day. It's already quarter to 1 so I guess I'll just have to slowly get myself used to going to bed earlier.

Until tomorrow,

Tiffany
