New Years Eve

Good morning! Well overall yesterday was so so. I didn't have the best lunch. Now don't get me wrong, it was not like I went crazy and ate candy and a bunch of junk food that is not the case. I just had some french bread and lasagna. Not what was on my ok list. I did so so for dinner, I had what was in the house. Today I planned to get up and walk again. However both kids woke up. I know its a sad excuse, but I can't walk in the garage and leave sevie alone in the house. So I will try to walk on my lunch. :-D. Today we are having a pot luck at work, so I am going to be really strong, and do my damndest to do my best. Also today is New years eve. Jennie, Rebecca and the kids: Bryce, Sevie, Micah, Britney, and Maddison will all be flooding my home. I am going to buy pizza for the party. But I am going to have only one peice. All in moderation right? I am going to have a large salad to to go with it!!! And I told them if they want junk, bring it for them. So I am not going to by it for me. Well off to tend to the home. Thanks for listening,
Stephanie.

Off to a good start!

Yesterday, I feel like I did really good to kick off a healthier me. I had grapefruit for breakfast. Yum. Then I didn't snack at all until it was lunch time. I had a good lunch, it did come with chips. A plus for stephanie I gave them away. Also, I cam back to work with a stocking full of candy and what did I do? I got rid of it. Yup, I passed up reeses peanut butter cups. I was proud. When I got home I was asked to make my spanikopita burgers. So I had one of those, which are pretty good for you and then corn. I was going good yesterday. I had 2 8z cups of juice to fix my sweet tooth that was creeping up late night, as usual. When I went to bed to read I had some serious munchies going on. I grabbed about 4 baby carrots and was good to go. So all in all it was a good day. This morning I am up to go walk on the treadmill. So I am doing ok. I can't guarnatee it will be a super long walk(kids) but I will do my best. :-D Until the next update. Ta Ta,
Stephanie.

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!

I just love this video!! It has a really important message. So pay attention!
