Epiphany of sorts

I have finally made the realization that I have to stop thinking about what I eat as "can have" and "canNOT have." I need to start looking at food as "will help me meet my goals" and "will not help me meet my goals." The difference is that I have a goal that I want to meet that eating unhealthy snacks is not going to help me achieve the look I am SO close to achieving.

I look in the mirror when I'm working out & can see my muscles moving underneath my skin (notice I didn't say fat-though that is what I mean). I'm able to wear some of my jeans that I haven't been able to wear in almost a year. I've got jeans & skirts & shorts that I want to wear that I won't be able to if I don't get it together.

I'm feeling better about the way I'm thinking. I feel like I can eat healthier for longer if I think like this.

Wendy suggested Tom Venuto's The Body Fat Solution because another of her clients was able to turn it around after reading the book. I'm at a point where I'm willing to try just about anything. Especially something healthy.

John & I went for a run today. It was supposed to be our long run. I couldn't even do 3 miles. During the run I came to the realization that I don't want to do the race anymore. Unfortunately for me I promised Leanne I would do it so I am going to do it. I've got 7 more runs including the race day run. I can do it.

Tomorrow I go back to the weight room.
