Super Bowl Sunday...

Today went great! For one thing neither one of my football teams were playing so I really didn't care who won, I just sat back and watched. (For the record, I think Denver's team was still at the hotel). D and I went to our friend Bud's house to watch the event, and of course food was involved, so David and I chose to prepare Alton Brown's chicken wing recipe. Unlike a lot of the chicken wings out there, this one is NOT fried, but baked. I was a happy camper when I got there because they had veggies to munch on and I did break down and have soda... Yes, this is something that I need to work on, it was diet though. All in all I had a pretty successful day in the food department. I even got some exercise in this morning while David was in band rehearsal I took a nice 1/2 hour walk around the church grounds. Baby steps, I knew when I started this I would have to do it this way. It's completely unrealistic to expect to become Miss Fitness and Health Queen overnight. When dealing with addictive food behaviors it's not a walk in the park. I have a great phone app that I can log my food in that keeps me accountable with a set caloric intake as well as a new blood sugar program that tracks my carbs.

New Year...

Watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead 2, and looking at how far I've come. To be honest, not very far, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on my goals...2015 is a year of 20 ' s for me. The big one being 20 years of sobriety. Over the past year I have come to the realization of my addiction to 'comfort food' and processed food. I've also dealt with a lot of health issues, from diabetes to malignant hypertension. I also live with bipolar  and PTSD and the meds I HAVE to take in order to live. A lot of us out there started on New Years resolutions on the first, today I start again on a LIFE CHANGE! When I got sober I knew it wasn't just to placate the powers that be, I wanted to change my life... almost 20 years later I'm still sober, but due to the other factors in my life, I have replaced one addiction with another... alcohol for food. So today is the first day, and with my last glass of chocolate milk I start. I'm not going to put numbers out...

Back at it again...

Like with any addiction, you can't do it on your own or without help. I'm back in the food wagon again, along with the mind and body as well. All part of my life and David's life as well, we're doing this together. I'm excited, not just about the losing of weight for vanity purposes (I'm not going to lie), but for the new life of feeling good physically and spiritually. When I saw myself in the commercial I was filmed in I cried... that was not me. I'm ready... what have I got to lose except maybe 70 lbs.
