STARTED THE ROUTINE TODAY..well, kinda

i officially started the "routine" to change my life today.

well,sorta. i got on the wagon, and fell off in less than 24 hours.
im a pure addict to food!

i had asked craig to go get me some chips and dip the other day (when we were still in december 2006). i asked for guacamole specifically. thats all. he and daniel went to the store for some other stuff, and he came home with 3 bags of chips and about every concievable dip walmart carries.

i had 2 days to try to consume it all. and i diodnt succeed in the effort. i STILL have chips and dip to get rid of.
we were supposed to go to a couples home last night (new years eve) to watch the CHUCKY series of movies. but the husband ended up not feeling well.
i was going to take the chips and dip to thier place and let them eat the stuff..just to get it out of my life. well, that was busted and the crap stayed here...calling my name out, wanting me to eat it.

we did go out last night and i was pretty good about NOT endulging to much out of my norm. but yesterday was also the last day of december and i wanst on a "routine" to change my ife then. so what fench fries i ate, DO NOT COUNT today!lol

we did go out to eat today...
to a really neat place i ador called: SOUPER!SALAD! (its a pun: soup or salad or even: super salad) where they have a SALAD BAR, a SOUP BAR, a BREAD BAR,and DESERT BAR.

i had a LARGE saladm and a cup of potato soup, and a cup of lentil soup. NO BREAD. and water. the guy had to refill my glass 3 times!
we had also gone right after that to BARNES AND NOBLE to look for a cookbook advertised on a tv show i was watching eight before we left: THE BIGGEST LOOSER COOKBOOK. we got it.
recipes all look really delicious, and easy to prepare. my kinda cooking!

so im excited about getting that started up as well.

i also got (for christmas) from my mother-in-law a dvd on exercizing..thats really helpful. havnt viewd it yet, but ANYTHING is better than nothing in this quest.

also got brand new walking shoes so i can start to walk around the block, or a park or something. have to get moving...its esential to the effort to loosing weight.

so, the plans set..now all i need is the motivation to DO the plan.
