Five days in, and you're wondering how I'm doing, right?  Well, it's getting easier to eat right.  I seem to have stopped eating a morning snack and an afternoon snack.  I'm trying to just eat less and eat healthier.  I've also gone to decaf coffee for the most part, trying to limit myself to just one or two cups of caffeine.  And I've only had one glass of wine all week, though we are heading out to a comedy club tonight, and I'll most likely have a drink or two.  Not sure what my best option is, but will probably go with a light beer.  Depends on whether there's a minimum.  Comedians are usually a little funnier when you've been drinking. He's also a hypnotist--maybe I can get him to help in my weight loss journey?!

As far as weight, I did finally step on the scale, though I told myself it would just be water loss.  I was down 3 pounds, which I was glad to see.  I truly was afraid the number would have risen, and then what?  That's too much discouragement for sure!

The exercising part is not going so well.  I purposely chose NOT to get out of bed this morning and exercise.  And I'm actively choosing right now not to do anything.  I've read, napped, and am now typing, so I can't say that I haven't had time.  I tell myself I'll do it later, but I know I won't.  I should have just gotten out of bed when I first woke up, exercised, and been done with it.  I feel so much better when this what I do.  So why don't I just DO IT!!!  Sigh.

So I'll try to focus on eating right and worry about becoming more active later.  Doesn't help that it was -1 degree when I woke up this morning and the thought of taking off my jammies to put on workout clothes was not appealing in the least.  So I rolled over and slept for another hour.  I also need to stop storing my workout clothes in the cold closet.

Anyway, I'll keep trying to move more and get some exercise in when I can.  I mean, moving a little is better than not moving at all, right?  Obviously, I'm not the person you want to choose to be motivated by, huh?  But I'm fun, right?  Right?!!
