New Leaf

Alright, I am going public with this in hopes that will give me one more reason to stick to my resolve. Starting tomorrow I am lowering the caloric intake and increasing the physical activity. I am NOT going on a diet; no siree. That is a sure fire loser (and not weight) approach to my ultimate goal, which is to once again be able to fit into my Chico jeans.
I don't want to hear about how good it would be for my PD or arthritis to move more; I don't want to hear about the benefits of scaling back on my sugar intake. And I certainly don't want it pointed out that I would be better off not drinking wine every evening. But if I could only get into those Chico jeans I know I would be a happier individual. Sooooo,
Starting tomorrow I will be writing down everything I eat and drink ( a real depressing experience if you are out of control) with the expectation that I will stop buying and consuming a Dove bar every other day, stay away from Dairy Cream (I don't even like it!) and stop the compulsive eating (and, no, Oprah, I am not going to analyze why I eat compulsively).
At the same time I will, I will, I will exercise at least 30 minutes every day. Well, I'll rest on Sunday. I mean, after all, She did.
So, friends and family, hold my feet to the fire (or I should say my butt) and the next time you see me notice the label on my jeans...if it's llbean, I will not have met my goal yet. But I will. Promise.
