My commitment to myself. I want to be healthy by 30. Eek I just said 30.

My motto: I can do it, I know I can. I have done it before.
My goal: Healthy before 30, for me and my family.

My rules are as follows:
Stephanie can not have/ does not need, any of he following:
1. Sweets of any kind, gum is ok.
2. No Chips
3. No Fast Food!!
4. No eating out. Exceptions: special occations like girls night out, anniversary, date night. This doesn't mean I can go HOG( no pun intented) wild. I still need to do my best.
5. if it is offered say NO Thanks!
6. No Junk- You know what, I am talking about.

Stephanie's personal request:
Please don't offer it, don't push it, don't bring it to my house!!! If you want it great, but I don't want it or need it. Don't tell me it is for the kids, that still doesn't work( mom and Geri) I CAN'T have it in the house. I am still building up to this, so just NO! I beg you for my health. :-D

This is what I am going to do!

• Walk on the treadmill EVERY morning before work, or when I get up.
• Eat breakfast afterwords( a healthy breakfast)
• I am going to eat food I know is good for me, natural and unprocessed.
• I am going to cut down on my favorite items: Bread, Olive Oil, Juice( crystal light from now on), pasta, cheese, . I know there are more.However, some of them are on my can't have list.
• I am going to eat much more veggies, fruits, fish, chicken, nuts, yogurt, you know stuff that is good for me.

I know I can do this, I have no doubt. It is the one thing that I struggle with. Like I have said in the previous blogg, I am not one to not follow through on things, this is my one give in. I love food, good food, junk food, fancy food, all food. I am not going to lie! But I want to do this, I need to do this. I don't want to be unhealthy. I hate hate hate it. I am so hard on myself in my brain. No one else knows it, but I can't stand it. I started to good last year, for crying out loud I lost 15 pounds. Then Easter came, and I fell off and never got back on track. This time I am not going to let this happen. If you see this happen, call me out, let me know. I need to hear it( ok husband??). I need to strong forces, to say "No, that's a bad choice." When I am feeling weak, help me feel strong and point me in the right direction. Sometimes, we all need that. If I push back, don't be afraid to push again, call me out! I need all the help and support I can get.

Here is to a new Stephanie coming your way!
