Ouch, not a great start to this round, second day and I've already missed a workout =/ and am not eating so great eigther. But, like a muscle, self control is built with time and practice I can't get mad at myself for not getting it right immidiately.
I'm actually really comfortable with where I am right now, I feel healthy and would be completely happy to maintain this level of fitness which is probably why I'm not so intense about being dedicated to it this time around. I got to get some of that imagination thing going, because I know I could be stronger and eat better.

Beginning the New Year
An important fact I've learned:
Your worried for the rest of your life you'll be fighting just as hard to say no to that fourth doughnut let alone limiting your donut consumption to maybe one a month (my food weekness used to be doughnuts)
What I've found is slowly as you make good food choices, your mind and body begin comunicating better about what you need to be eating. At this point in my health, the thought of four doughnuts makes my stomach sick, I could go a month without eating one but if I do have one, I know I can stop at that. Your body will help you make good food choices once you've given it a head start by making those choices with your head and determination. I've come to a point where I look forward to eating salad and vegetables. In fact if go a couple days eating junk food and few veggies, I got a little lazy in December, I start craving vegetables and feel a need to fill my fridge and dinner plate with them. I stay motivated because I know how good it makes me feel.
An important fact I've learned:
Fad dieting doesn't make you healthy. Harshly limiting diets that substantialy narrow the selection off foods your able to eat and the amount of food you eat isn't healthy and won't help in the long run for example, the grapefruit diet, the onion diet, the cabage soup diet. Fad dieting will often encourage weight loss, fad dieting does not nourish greater health. Healthy eating is a constant journey of learning about the foods your eating and what their doing for you. My interest in staying informed about food stays on the backburner as I go throughout my day leading me to read articles and page through books to expand my knowlege. Sometimes when I find a good book it becomes prominent and I dedicate some extra time to reading and digesting the information. I'll ocationally share a food fact or other health tips throughout my blog.
A helpful tip:
Search for inspiration. I like to read about what keeps other people motivated and assimilate what resonates with me. Often I'll have a couple sentances I use at various times to motivate me to overcome a challenge. For example I read "break through barriers physically and mentally" and throughout my day if I was confronted with apple pie and ice cream I'd repeat that sentance to myself and think of it as a barrier. Find what works for you.
