This time I know it's for real

I feel like I've been saying for months now that I've fallen off track with my diet and exercise routine. I keep saying, "I have to get back into it, I have to get back into it." But for some reason, the determination just hasn't been sticking.

But I think I'm really ready this time.

Over the weekend, I joined the local gym, which was a major missing piece of the puzzle. Dan and I moved a month ago and since we hadn't joned a gym here, we were in limbo with our workout routines. Plus, with the everything going on with the move, I hadn't even worked out very much prior to the move. So, I'm now officially a member of a gym here and already went last night! It wasn't an all-out intense workout (I wanted to be smart about things, of course, and work back slowly), but it felt sooo good to get a sweat going again and get those endorphins running through me.

And now I'm becoming inspired to eat better. It's not that I eat "bad." For the most part, I maintain a pretty healthy diet. But I know my weaknesses and cravings, and it's all a matter of having the determination to control them. So as I sit here drinking a big glass of fresh juice (carrot, apple, beet, pear, cucumber), I'm feeling pretty great about things. Here's to positive change!
