Healthiness

For years I've struggled with weight, but I never did much about it. I'd "diet" and exercise for a few days, then just forget about it and go back to normal. I know this happens to a lot of people. I don't have the goal of being skinny, or toothpick thin, even if I tried, I don't think I ever would be. My body isn't made that way. I think women should have curves. But it's the useless fat that's draining my energy and making me sluggish that I'm concerned about. I'm not living up to my true potential. For those reasons, I've decided not to diet. I've decided to make healthier choices. That doesn't mean I'll cut out all sugar, just eat less of it. That doesn't mean I'll never drink sweet tea or coffee again, just drink less of those, and drink more water. 

I did this routine this morning (once not three times yet) that I found on Pinterest. I was shaking and sweating by the time I was finished, so I figure it was a pretty good workout. ;) Tomorrow, I'll try again. I have to take one day at a time, and not quit. 

I'm working on taking action, rather than always thinking that I should try to lose weight. Instead, I'm going to work at being healthy. Eat smaller portions, but not cut out my regular foods completely. I've discovered that trying to change my regular foods don't last, so instead I'm going to lessen my intake, and eat a salad with it. 

The effect won't be immediate, but it'll be worth the wait.
