I have to say that I'm taking a moment to say "yeah for me!" I woke up this morning (barely) and really didn't want to walk on the treadmill, but I did. And I feel more awake and alert now for doing it. I haven't done any strength training since Saturday - it's been a busy week, but I have walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes three times this week (and it's only Thursday!).
If I don't get any strength training in tonight, I will definitely do so on Saturday, and I plan on walking again on Saturday, as well.
I have to get some groceries this weekend. It's very hard to maintain this idea of eating healthy when I don't keep food in the house. And there are only so many back-to-back meals of Nutrisystem, Lean Cuisine, grits & oatmeal that I can take. I'm very bad about going to the grocery store to just pick something up for dinner. Not only do I spend more $$$ doing this, I don't eat the best things for me. Case in point, I had another Milo's tea moment last night. And, no, it wasn't the Splenda kind. I blame that on Piggly Wiggly ... I was craving some sweet tea and they didn't have any of the Splenda version. =)

SparkPeople
There's been a lot of buzz in the blog world about eating habits. Yep, you can tell it's January! Everybody is all a twitter with resolutions and promises to eat better, exercise more, stress less, etc.
I'm using SparkPeople to keep a food journal. It helps you stay on top of WHAT you're eating, HOW MUCH you're eating as well as breaking down the # of carbs, fats, and proteins that you take in. And it's FREE! I know that I'm a big carb person and one of my goals is to learn how to have a more balanced meal plan. I will most likely stick with "easy" foods ... Lean Cuisines & Healthy Choice meals , grits, oatmeal, toast, etc. because I do not enjoy being in the kitchen at all. It is my least favorite (and least used) part of my house. Srsly, my stove / oven might get used a handful of times in a year.
I didn't exercise last night as I needed some GRE study-time. However, I woke up this morning and did another 30 minutes on the treadmill. I'm at work until 12:30 today, then off to my GI appointment. I plan on walking another 30 minutes this afternoon / evening when I get home.
