My week got off to a bad start with junk food for lunch and no exercise today either due to a previous engagement. I don't like it. The fact that I don't like it can be interpreted as improvement -- before, I'd have said, "Ah, who cares?" and gone on. Now, I'm displeased.

As for my challenges, I'm very motivated to go on exercising, but in all honesty, the main motivator is the scales and the tape measure. I can *see* results. So it's not about a noble cause like the vague word "health"; it's about fitting into smaller pants. I do have plans to widen my repertoire of exercise because I have a bad back that's getting worse, and I need to do something about it quickly.

The food and drink department is sort of wobbly right now. I've been doing well on weekdays but this weekend was just not. Or it was too much. Or whatever. I can't do four days of "being good" and then "go bad" for the other three, or four or whatever. I wish I could get this into my dumb head: eat badly and I end up feeling like ****. The stupid burger I had for lunch even gave me heartburn for the first time in two weeks. Do I need MORE evidence???

AAHAAEEAEEEAAAAAA... deep breath. In. Out. Yes. Tomorrow. Rant over.
