A promise to myself

Today is the first day of 2013 and I want to make a promise to myself.  I have treated my body like a dumping ground for far too long.  Going forward I will treat it with respect and show it the love it deserves.  My body is a Temple!  Right now it is a BIG Temple but with lots of hard work I will return it to a beautiful healthy Temple.  

Exercise is not my hardest obstacle as funny as that sounds.  I can make myself exercise likes it's no one's business but food is my downfall.  I have a love for the most unhealthy foods.  Now that wouldn't be so bad if I didn't also over eat when I had them.  One cupcake is enough if it is SUPER-SIZED.   This is one of the many things we are changing.

So this morning hubby asked if I wanted him to make waffles.  My response without even thinking was YEAH!  Yummy Yummy in my Tummy.  Then I had a second to think about that.  Life is full of choices and right now that was not the best choice for me.  So I told him I didn't want any because I didn't need the sugary syrup that would go with it.  So instead I made myself some egg white scrambled eggs and a small Gala apple.  My first choice of 2013 for food was a good one.  Now I just have to keep this up so that it happens out of habit.

2013 -- so far a great start.  Let's hope the rest of the day goes the same way!
