No Fast Food August!

In a previous post I wrote how I was not going to eat out so much this month. Today is the first day of August and so far so good! It was very tempting to stop and getting something to eat after I worked off 1,000 calories in Zumba but I didn't! Wahoo! I waited until I got home and had a slice of cheese and some raspberries! I have a feeling this is going to be really hard because it is so much easier to stop and get something to eat than cook dinner. The summer isn't much help either because it is so hot and who wants to have the hot oven on? Not me! Good thing we have awesome neighbors that bought a grill and will let us talk them into having a BBQ every once in a while!

Anyway...I hope this will help knock off a little weight! Stay tuned to see what happens!

P.S. Today was a lot better than yesterday! I think distracting myself will make time go faster! Here's to hoping! Thanks for all the support! I appreciate how wonderful my friends and family are. 

Get it together

For the month of August, I decided I am going to get my butt in gear and lose some weight.  So therefore I am dubbing August, "No fast food August"! Fast food as been my downfall for the past 6 months or so. Neither Adam or I have felt like cooking because we are busy and tired. But I am so tired of not liking my body and I know if I stop eating out and make healthier foods I would lose some of it. It is time for you to go excess weight. I am over you.
I also need to start exercising more. I feel like lately I haven't had much energy. Work wears me out and I go home and become a vegetable. I want to do more Zumba or hiking or swimming or anything really.
My biggest problem is that I don't have any discipline and I am not sure that this will go well. I learned something from my sister-in-law and this book she is reading about introverts and extroverts. Apparently I am not self-motivated but motivated by others. So I am wondering if there is anyone else out there that wants to join me in this never-ending quest to lose weight. I need some motivation ASAP!! I hope we can find recipes that are healthy and easy, work out together, push each other to accomplish our goals or just be a motivator to do all of the above.
