So, new year, new goals, dreams & aspirations.
I am so tired of letting myself down year, after year, after year.
Just growing in size year, after year, after year. I have really had enough now.
I am turning 47 this year and would absolutely love to look amazing on my 50th birthday. That is 3 years off and the reason I am saying that,
>> SMALL VICTORIES WILL AMOUNT TO LARGE SUCCESS! <<
How did I get like this? SUGAR! SUGAR! SUGAR! I honestly dont eat a lot, but I drink a lot of soda! On a good day it could be between 2 to 4 liters!!!!! THAT IS HOW I GOT THIS FAT! Then in my mid 40s I developed a sweet tooth, eating a chocolate a day AT LEAST! Mostly drinking my calories. My cholesterol is through the roof at 11.9, which caused me to be on cholesterol medication, which has all these nasty side effects. :(
What really irritates me about myself is that I am a very successful business owner and making success of a business to me is second nature, but I cannot for the life of me lose this weight. I can do the impossible, but I struggle with the possible.
Today was my 3rd day without ANY sodas, but I did have 2-3 cups of coffee, 1 sugar per cup, each day, just to help me through the worst. I am not a big coffee drinker, but the coffee has definitely curbed my cravings and kept me full.
I have also cut my complex carbs, but still had some simple carbs like some fruit, vegetable and milk in my coffee.
For me, JUST TO GET RID OF THE SUGAR IN MY DIET IS A HUGE WIN! THAT is my main goal for January, TO STOP DRINKING MY CALORIES and drinking myself FAT!
I have added some resistance training to my days too and try to be more active around the house with chores etc.
Tomorrow is back to work. WISH ME LUCK!
