Blogging every day has been really hard. Sometimes I have lots of time at work (some of the work I do involves programming and when I have to wait on the computer to run my programs, I usually have some time to put together an entry), but that's not always the case. I would like to get in the habit of posting regularly again, so it look's like I'm going to need to take a few minutes at night to do it. The accountability of the blog is important to me, even if I'm the only one who reads it.

My husband and I have been not eating well lately. We had a great plan to make our meals for the entire week on Sundays, but we have been so busy that it hasn't happened for the last two weeks. So basically we've been eating out almost every night. Definitely not a good plan. I don't want this holiday season to turn into an excuse to eat badly for a month and a half, which is usually what happens. I don't want to be on a 'diet' either. I want to use control and moderation and just be healthy.

Tonight I'm going to go grocery shopping so that I have healthy options at home and we can put an end to eating out every night. I also want to do 30 minutes of cardio at the gym. We've been setting our alarm to go in the morning lately and not getting up to do it. I'm going to make plans to go to the gym on certain days and if I don't get up in the morning, I'm going to have to go at night. No more excuses.

I've been eating okay the last two weeks, not outstanding, but much better than I had been the past few months. We had a party last Friday and of course since my husband and I both love to cook and entertain, we went all out with the food. And of course we had a ton left over. One thing I have never been able to do well is to resist good food that's sitting around. That's why you'll rarely find bags of cookies or chips in my house. If it's there, I eat it, so for the most part I just don't buy it to begin with. So I did eat a lot of the leftovers, but they lasted longer than the normally would have.

We're going away for the weekend to the mountains with my family and there will be tons of good food. I'm not going to deprive myself, but I will try to use moderation. And I'd like to go for a long walk tomorrow.
