I’m pretty sure I’ve consumed half of a person my side during the holidays. I ate so much food. Apparently my appetite doesn’t realize the holidays are over. I am always craving something. I’ve been eating a lot lately. I eat until I’m full, which I hate doing. I hate feeling sluggish and bloated. But I like food haha! The worst part is I don’t even pay much attention to what I eat. I’ve never really dieted before. I don’t snack on chips, cookies, fast food or greasy stuff. But I’m not chomping on carrots and celery sticks either. But that will change. I hope to become a bit more conscious about what I’m putting in my stomach.

I’m not talking about getting all diet crazy. I can’t jump into anything really cause it won’t last. A slow transition works better. Today I bought an exercise ball. I figure I sit at my desk so much, I may as well sit on the ball. I can bounce, roll around and I’m also using different muscle to stay upright and balance on it. I also like doing crunches on the ball better than the floor. Currently I’m bouncing and typing. How much fun am I having?! A lot.

I’d really like to be able to join a gym. I have no motivation what-so-ever to work out at home. I know that if I’m paying for it, I’d be there every week. But there’s none all too close to my house that make it convenient. And I’m still not ready for fork over $100+ a month for a membership – especially if I can’t walk to it.

So first step, ball. Second step, stop eating 9 tacos in a span of two weeks. Baby steps

Baby steps are big steps! You are smart not to attempt a major overhaul overnight. It’s not realistic, and none of us would ever stick with it. I am trying to stick to whole, natural foods and stay away from processed and refined garbage, which is my downfall. I recommend an awesome book called *Super Natural Cooking* by Heidi Swanson. SHe also has a food blog called 101cookbooks.com Both are extremely useful to me. Best of luck to you!

Hahaha! Lately I’ve been craving a nice, long run. But I don’t run. I have asthma and get winded going up stairs. Oi.
