Random Things

A few weeks ago we decided that we needed to start losing some necessary weight. We thought it best to wait until after the holidays...what with the large consumption of food and finding healthy food while traveling is rough. And then we got back here and I started thinking...why waste the food we have here? Let's eat all this "bad" food and get it out of here so we can start eating better...what am I thinking?? It's going to be a never ending string of excuses to NOT start. Ugh! So I think that I am going to have to rid our house of the few items left that are not suitable for a healthy diet...sigh. I love CHOCOLATE!! I think I will use it to bake things for Brian's office or something so it doesn't actually go to waste. I hate wasting food!!

We bought an exercise mat the other day (our floor is NOT what you might call ideal for pilates, yoga, etc.). I need to finish with the excuses and just start!! I know that once I start it will be easy to continue, but it's starting that is tough. I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with Kasey (and most likely with Katie, but was not tested) and according to my doc I now have a 60% higher chance of becoming diabetic. The nutrionist I met with said that if I can get my diet in order that the number will drop significantly. Plus, I have high blood pressure and I hate taking medicine so if I can get my diet in order for that too, I can be medicine free!

Think good thoughts! I think we are going to start our new healthy living style VERY soon!
