A new day, a new start

Today, is the day I take over my life, and become an active decider instead of a passive receiver.

Today is today that I decide my life has to change. I have to pay more attention. Attention to what I do, to what I eat, and how I live my life.

I have set some lofty goals for next year in my life. Ones that scare me, was that excite me, and ones I cannot reach unless I make a change.

I have changed my eating habits for the better, ear more vegetables now, more whole grains, and no meat as I become vegetarian. However, I have not paid attention to splurges, or the amount of healthy food to eat. Ever so slowly I've been gaining weight. A half of a pound here, a pound there, it never seems too bad. Until one day, you will come up and realize to 20 pounds heavier than you used to be. And that was when you still had 40 pounds to lose potentially.

I need change, I need structure, and support. I've decided to join the five week weight watchers program at work. I will use these five weeks to change my habits, and see how well I can do on this new plan. My cooking well change, my snacking will change, and it is in the hope that my body will change, and that I can start on the path to be a healthier me.
