Pledge to Myself

So it's been a really long time since my last post, and I've fallen way off the health wagon. So, tonight, I'm making a pledge to myself to get back on track.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to limit myself to the diet I had when I started training with Amanda back in April. It was tough at first then, and I know it's going to be tough again, but I've put on a good 10-12 pounds since I moved to Cincinnati, and I'm not feeling nearly as energized as I used to. I need to get healthy again.

So, I'm going back to my 140 g limit of carbs, cutting out added sugars (no more being tempted by the M&Ms at Loretta's desk at work), and eating as many lean proteins and veggies as I can.

I've been good about getting to the gym 5 days a week, but I've pretty much only been doing cardio and one day of strength training for my legs. I'm going to start working on my arms and abs this week too.

I know I have the Beaujolais event on Thursday and there will be all sorts of tasty food there, but I'm just going to have to be very choiceful about what I eat. I won't say "everything in moderation," because I seem to have issues with moderation anytime chocolate or sweets are involved, but I will have a couple bites of a dessert if it's there, and then call it a day.

I'm hoping that by putting this in writing, I'm more likely to stick to the plan.
