It's not exciting.
It's not amazing.
But it is quick and easy.
It's oatmeal.
I'm hoping that it will begin as step one of my breakfast habit change. I made oatmeal breakfast for husband and myself this morning. Even had time to pack a small lunch for each of us. And a water bottle to being tracking our water intake.
Today's plan - Eat what's given and drink water.
Weekly Goal - Begin the thought process of healthy living.
How? Blog about it.
Beginning any new habit or process begins with in our minds. My mind has been full and tumbling lately. I am ready for some action. Beginning a new healthy thought process is the first step to living a healthy lifestyle, so it's important to take steps that continue to encourage thought and challenge our minds.
With about thirteen weeks left in the year, I figure it will be good to play the add on game. Each week we will focus on a new goal, along with the goals from the weeks past. I haven't thought through the whole process yet, but you are welcome to follow along.
This week's goal is to begin the thought process of healthy living.
Following Julia Havey's weight loss program for free (http://www.vicebustingdiet.com/day-1.html)

How do these words make you feel when you read them?
Better. More like me. Brighter future with these words.
I think it was only a few days in, and I had a beer - two Guinness actually. They were delicious, but they weren't water. They were not what I needed. Try try again, can't give up - when you have a good idea and a good mind to change your life.
Water, water, water. It's only day 2- and yet I'm already feeling the drag of "because I can't have something I want it" mentality. I don't need anything else, besides water. And so far I've done good, but I have missed coffee just a bit. :)
Ok, first let's focus on water! We need water to live healthy. I was gonna do some research of why water is so important for health - and why we should drink it, but http://www.allaboutwater.org/drink-water.html has done it for me.
I feel like a huge failure. And not huge qualitative, but in quantity. This year has been a bust on the health front. I feel fat, unhealthy, ugly and getting worse. I can't seem to stop the cycle of eating crap and then feeling like crap. And I know that this time of year is extra hard, but really you have no idea - we are remodeling and doing school on top of everything normally busy in December. I want to woman-up and get out my super woman cape so that I can courageously take on the world tonight when I get home OR I could just give up and take a nap.....

I've been able to keep off about 15 lbs off since working with the South Beach diet in April. I'm going to begin again today on Phase One to help take a few more off before my upcoming birthday in July.
This morning honestly hasn't been a great start. It's almost 10am and I haven't had any water or food yet. But I'm gonna fix that right now. Gotta Go, time to Fuel up. :)
