I usually bring some snack to work with me.  I don't like to eat big meals.  I try to eat smaller meals and snack on health foods between meals.  I was so busy at work today that I forgot to have a snack.  I also didn't get enough sleep last night, so when I went home for lunch, I was really tired and hungry.  I was so tired that I couldn't get off the couch to make some lunch.  So when my son, Ryan, got home from school I asked him to run out and get me a Big Mac meal.  Yes, I said it.  I ate a dreaded, unhealthy Big Mac meal. I refuse to feel guilty though.  I'm going to learn from this.  I need to remember to snack when I'm really hungry, and I'm going to try to get more sleep. The sleeping thing will be the hardest.

My knee is killing me today. It hurts so bad.  So does my lower back.  I'm craving sugar really bad, but I'm fighting it.  I did eat some sugar free jello. It was good, but it's not chocolate.

I'm doing a low carb diet because that is what my husband has been doing for the last year, and it's way easier to do a diet if someone else in your home is doing it too.  He's lost over 90 lbs.  I'm proud of him, even though he has the advantage of not having sweet cravings.  It's so not fair.

Yesterday my heart had this weird fluttering feeling.  It really scared me.  I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Today I begin my journey.  From this point on, everything I do will be for the express purpose of molding myself into the me I want to be.  I want to be happy and healthy. 

Please leave me comments to help encourage me, or to let me know about your self improvement journey.  Let's encourage each other.  My goal is go from 289 lbs. to 140 lbs.  I'm not setting a time limit on this goal.  I think that would only discourage me if I didn't make my goal time. 

I started my journey this morning by doing a short yoga video in bed.  Yep, you heard me right.  I did yoga before getting out of my bed.  It only took about 3 minutes, but it was a great wake up routine.  Below is the YouTube video that I did in bed.  Just this small about of stretching made my shoulder start hurting.  I am that out of shape.
