Life's New Ventures

So it's not really a venture just more of a small step towards bettering my health. For years I have struggle with my weight and body image and I've come to the conclusion that I just need to get up and DO IT!!! Just do it!!! This is honestly that is the hardest part for me but I found that once I jump that hurdle the rest is smooth sailing and the feeling of euphoria I get after a really good workout can't compare to any other emotion I can think of. It's the feeling of being accomplished and knowing that I'm only one step closer to my final goal...almost like I can't fail...No, I WON'T FAIL!

I've started to drink ginger tea on more of a regular basis. I heard it is suppose to be very beneficial to your body...gastrointestinally (is that a word? I hope so)....but you get what I mean. Although I can't tell how it's been effecting the end process of the food process, I can say that it has kept my stomach settled during the day whereas I though I was prone to stomach aches from indigestion...especially after eating something i knew I shouldn't have been withing 50 ft of. So this is a bonus!

Some other steps I've taken are to just walk more...I have a desk job so this is where things get a little complicated. It's almost like for every step I take towards better health, the lack of activity during the day takes me 2 steps back...So what does this mean????? This means I take the stairs, stay away from the food tables (as best I can) which tend to pop up randomly and without any notice, make more trips to the fax machine, park farther away, and even do mini leg workouts under my desk for the length of the phone calls which are all too frequent. But it doesn't stop there...If I have the energy by the end of the day...WHEW!!! IF I have the energy when I return to my humble abode, I need to do 30 minutes or so of real exercise.

exhausting(mentally)...but necessary...

I think, I mean I KNOW the other hurdle I have to overcome is the lack of instant results. I like instant EVERYTHING! I wish I could teleport so I wouldn't have to sit on a plane for hours to get places...this is serious...I think once I am able to fully wrap my mind around this concept I think I should be set to go...

wish me luck!
