My Personal 365 Day Challenge: Day 1

I am one of those people from whom "tomorrow" is always the best day to get serious about something - mostly eating better, losing weight and exercising. 

I am IN LOVE with tomorrows. Especially if tomorrow is Sunday, which is the first day of the week, which is the best day to start anything because I love symmetry and order (which you could NOT tell from my house).

I let tomorrow stop today. My husband and I have spent the past 3 years in limbo since our house was very nearly destroyed in Hurricane Ike. We moved out, but never really settled back in. I mean, we live here - quite successfully and happily. But pictures were never hung back up, things were never really organized back into ... home-ness. Then we decided to sell the house, so we put everything on hold for that, a year later we've packed 1/2 our things and have said countless times ... we'll do that after we move. Well, here we are.

I didn't try harder to lose weight because I was going to have another baby - why do it twice (that's dumb, I know). I don't work out regularly because I just flat out can find about 100485 other things I would rather do at any given moment.

So ...  I'm giving myself a challenge. I don't want to sit here in another 365 days, saying to myself "Jeeze, if only I'd focused and lost this weight I've been carrying around for like ...oh, six years now." Or, "Hey, remember two years ago we decided to sell the house, look - those boxes are still sitting in the corner ... I wonder what is in them?"

No. I am going to TRY REALLY HARD to focus on RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week, not later today. Right now. So, here I am, not procrastinating but writing this down for someone (anyone?) to ready - On August 23, 2011 will be end of this 365 day challenge, and hopefully .... no DEFINITELY the beginning of a new one.

Today is Day 1. Today's challenges are:

-365 days without diet soda (oh, Coke Zero, how I will miss you)

-365 days without fast food (I know, it's just disgusting. I'm embarrased to admit that I eat fast food. It's like the modern version of smoking.)

-365 days of REALLY exercising every day. Yes, every day. Maybe someday, I won't exercise every day. But, I need to do this. First 30 days? Jillian Michael's 30-day Shred.

-365 days without commercially processed carbohydrates. No pasta, unless I make it. No bread, unless I make it. (PS - Ground wheat may be considered a commercially processed carbohydrate, but I'm ignoring that, cause if I make bread or pasta - I won't feel bad eating it.) No carbohydrate that has partially hydrongenated anything or high fructose corn syrup - none of the latter for my son either.

I think that that is enough for now. Day 1 - so far, is a success. I have to exercise yet ... as soon as I get the boy to bed.
