Moving in the right direction

I should be in bed right now getting some sleep because I'm going walking with Kitty at 10:30am. Instead I'm up blogging. I've been walking 3 times/week which is a big accomplishment for me. I'm grateful that Kitty asked me to walk with her. It's foggy and wet outside. I hope the weather is a bit more clear for our walk. It's only 39 degrees out too.I think it's supposed to warm up to 50 degrees though. It should be a lot warmer by 10:30am.

I'm still eating too much junk food. I'm going to have to work with Marianne on this issue. The junk food eating has to stop. I'm not getting any good nutrition into my body. I haven't been drinking much water either. I need to be in shape physically so I can get through school easier. I can't sleep as much as I am these days. I can't just sit in my chair doing nothing. At least not for hours on end. It's okay to have down time but my days lately are nothing but down time. So getting out there and walking, eating right, and having some sort of schedule will be a real good thing for me.

I think I need to add in at least one fresh fruit or vegetable each week. I also need to drink a lot more water than I am drinking. I think that my allergies are bad because I don't drink enough water to flush out the junk in my system. I need to start eating a salad with every meal too. That would be a great way to fill up on something healthy to eat.

Being committed to walking a dog could have been a great thing for me mentally and physically but I was too lazy to get out there every day. Now I'm starting off right, walking 3x/week, instead of walking every day. It would be too difficult to walk every day at this point. I'm sore enough as it is. I know I'll get more walking time in as I progress. It's good that I'm starting in the Spring too. I'll have through at least October to keep up the walking. I really want to lose weight. I want to be healthy and be able to enjoy all the things I want to do in my life. I can't ride in a NASCAR racecar if I weigh this much. I need to lose about 100 pounds before that can happen. But I'm not looking at it as 100 pounds. That would be overwhelming. I'm just looking at it 10 pounds at a time. That's a more reasonable goal to look at. At least I'm moving in the right direction these days.
