Alicia - 3.22.06
Hello all. Today was a good day to begin a healthier diet and a workout routine. After panting through the first 10minutes of my 1980s jane fonda workout video I realized how desperately I need to get in shape. My tendency is not to worry too much about my appearance because I used to have a high metabolism and never had to work to lose weight. My post-baby 28 year old body is very different now. My goal is to lose 8 pounds - to reach 138 lbs. Having just 8 pounds to lose is also a non-motivator. I think to myself, "I can wear a baggy shirt and no one will see this floppy tummy." Besides just losing those pounds though, I'm seeing that fitness itself is important. I have high cholesterol tendencies and my heart health needs to be a more important priority.
I'm asking you all to pray for me - specifically for the next few days. Tomorrow I am off to MI with Chloe for a hotel rendezvous with my sister in law and kids. We'll be swimming, shopping, and eating out. That's where I need the prayer! I LOVE EATING OUT! We rarely go out to eat because of our budget and lack of babysitters. As you all know, it's extremely difficult to choose healthy options at most restaurants. Pray that I make wise decisions.

I hope you have a WONDERFUL time with your sister-in-law. It sounds like so much fun! Have fun and enjoy your meals; maybe you could try to plan on eating only half of your meal beforehand. Restaurant portions are so huge; they're practically for two people anyways. I will be praying for you; I know how you feel. How come we think we can only have fun with lots of junky food? :)
Ditto on the love for eating out! I think I just appreciate the fact that I don't have to cook. My eyes always get bigger than my stomach. I'll pray that you pass the 'test'. :) (or else you can just work it off in the pool!! :)
