A New Way of Thinking

I was reading Brandi's blog: A Life Change—My Journey to Happiness and she was talking about always putting things off until tomorrow. And I got to thinking.

Everyday I say: Tomorrow I will. . . do whatever. In fact, "There's always tomorrow," has become my motto. I realize I need a new way of thinking. And i came up with an idea. Remember the movie Groundhog Day? When Bill Murray is trying to get out of Punxsutawney? And he's talking on the phone to some operator and he says, "Well what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today." How's that for a new way of thinking?

Are there really any new ideas?

I made it to the gym today. I did aerobics and stretching for about an hour. I've got to remember to stretch in between periods of aerobics. My legs are feeling better, but they did get crampy while I was on the treadmill. I need some new music as well. Being back at the gym regularly is more natural for me. I feel at home there. I probably will continue with my gym after I finish the weight management program.

Geez. I wish I had more to say. It's hard to come up with some new idea about losing weight. Everything boils down to calories in/calories out. Sure, low carb diets seem to work a little better. But they cut the amount you're eating, too. I try to stay away from simple carbs—but I do eat lots of fruit and vegetables. I just don't know what else I can tell anyone about dieting that hasn't already been said.

I enjoy exercising. And I think that's the key to making it a habit. I wish I could afford more personal training sessions. I guess I'll have to come up with my own workout soon. I have several exercises to pick from now. During my personal training sessions, I have done a few exercises that I really like. I'll see what I come up with and write it down here.

Well, I have much to do this afternoon.
