PARKING FAR AWAY?!

Why do I try to park as close as possible to the front door when I go to the gym? Does it really matter if I burn a few extra calories? Isn't that why I am going? In the past I have gone to the gym when the parking lot is full and it really bothers me that I have to park across the street. This is completly stupid! So I made a resolution to not try to park as close at possible, but just when I see an open parking spot. I have been doing this at the grocery store too. I don't know that it helps me be skinnier, but I know it doesn't hurt me. It also helps me not to be so irritated with the people who got the closest parking spot. This has helped me to have less stress in my life (small amounts, but diffinately less).

Speaking of grocery stores, did you know they have Easter candy out now? This is bad for me. My favorite holiday candy is the malted milk eggs. I have to admit I bought some today. I did not eat them all in one sitting like I usually do. I didn't even eat 1/4 of the bag. This is an improvement for me. I can't wait until they are all gone, that way I won't hear them tempting me. I really need to pull them out and invite everyone to come and eat them so they won't be here anymore. Tomorrow I will.

If you are on this journey (weight loss, not eatting Easter candy) with me and want to add any comments please do. I would love to know how you are doing too.

I have heard that it is good to eat before you work out, so I have been doing this for the last week. But I feel like I am dragging when I do. I think I will go back to not eatting first, or maybe something very minimal would work. Any suggestion?

  1. You are my inspiration. I was just wondering if Cadbury mini eggs are in the stores now! I lost 25 lbs about 18 months ago, but I've gained about 10 back and need to get back at it. Thanks for being here everyday!

  2. I'm glad you're doing so good. As for eating before a workout....I like to eat a banana about 1/2 hour before I work out. Bananas are supposed to have enough potassium to give you energy for a 90 minute workout.

    As for the Easter candy....I was at Smith's today and noticed all the Easter candy calling my name. I'm a total sugar addict and I just had to leave the aisle and not buy any, or I would eat it all. Keep up the good work!
