Pat me on the back. I’ve actually climbed aboard my elliptical machine two nights in a row! I won’t lie to you; I still resent every single minute I’m spinning my legs, but I do enjoy the elation I feel when I step off it. If only I could bottle that feeling!
So tonight I was thinking about my weight and my eating habits because today I sat down and ate an entire box of Little Debbie Fudge Swiss Rolls for no other reason than they were there. One thing I have discovered about myself is that I am much less likely to eat an entire box of snack cakes after a workout. It’s something about that body glow. I’m going to try a little experiment. Instead of shooting for a one hour workout, I’m going to split them up into two thirty-minute workouts. This should also help some with my boredom problem.
I firmly believe that weight loss, like life, is all about discovering what works for you. More about this idea later.

“for no other reason than they were there.” Why were they there? Did you buy them and bring them home? Or did someone else do that? If you bought them, don’t do that anymore! Out of sight, out of mind. If someone else bought them, ask them not to do that again. If you buy healthy snacks, and that’s all you have on hand, chances are you’ll eat those instead of the Little Debbies.

Perhaps now you’re doing it so you can blog about it. be aware of that strange cycle motivation.
I used to smoke, and as I was trying to quit for the first time, I found that I was smoking at some point so I could again feel sorry for myself, stress out and smoke again. Or something similar anyway.
