Not the Best of Starts

I'm mainly going to be focusing on eating less and working out TONS.

Everyday I'm going to be doing at least 40 minutes of cardio and working my way up to an hour, with hopefully some additional weightlifting.

This morning I had pancakes...Yeah, after a disclaimer like that last night you think it'd be oatmeal? But it takes baby steps, I'm still fragile and hardly buckling under my demanding cravings for bad foods. Carbs/Breads are my weakest points.However, I didn't have fifteen pancakes this morning (goodness knows I doubt I could consume that many.) I had three pancakes, with a side of syrup. I dip them helping me use less syrup, I do that with my bagels too dipping it instead of spreading it helps me use less of the sauce (no, I did not also have a bagel this morning). Plus, I absolutely hate soggy pancakes, dipping them keeps me from that.

  My biggest problem with eating isn't really the food I pick...but how I overeat it. When I'm full I'll just keep eating. I've eaten two and a 3/4 pancakes and staring at that last 1/4 going, "oh what would it hurt?" But it would hurt me! SO I'm leaving it and my cup of syrup behind.

 

Hey, it's a start
