So, it's been awhile. A big thanks goes to my friend Sarah for her continued encouragement. After she reminded me to post a couple weeks ago, I decided to not watch Dexter until I wrote again. Alas, the desire to watch my new favorite show has finally worn me down.
The trip to Alabama actually went pretty well. The best part was enjoying all of my favorite foods without guilt. I used to eat indulgent foods in a rushed, craze. But now, I'm learning to savor every bite. The biggest surprise has been realizing that I don't even enjoy some of my "favorite" foods. For example, I realized that oatmeal cream pies are so saccharine that I really don't enjoy them.
Now that I'm back to work, my goal is to commit to an exercise routine. I've noticed that I make better food choices when I'm in an exercise routine and feeling healthy. Also, I'm positive that combining eating only when I'm hungry and regular exercise will lead to natural, steady weight loss. So, I'm going to set a ridiculously obtainable goal. I'm going to exercise once on the weekend and once during the week. I've got this :)
