Baby Steps…
Thank you all for your comments the other day. I was in a bad space and really needed the encouragement you all offered. I’ve taken a few baby steps to get myself back on track. I’ve purged my house of all thing offensive and will be going to the grocery store today to purchase the proper food items that I need. I’ve left my money and credit cards home so that I cannot go to the vending machines or convenience stores during the day
, and will have no choice but to eat the food I have brought with me to work. I’ve also recommiteed myself to not drinking coffee all day. Coffee black is not the problem, it’s all the crap I dump into it. I am back to counting my calories and I can’t believe how much I was ingesting in one day.

And the biggest “baby” step of all, is I asked one of my co-workers to come to the gym with me. I’m not one to stand someone up, so this will hold me accountable for showing up. I’ve never had the problem of working out at the gym, gettnig there has always been my biggest hurdle. Keep you fingers crossed for me. 
I don’t plan to weigh in for 2 weeks and I HOPE the results are what I expect. Right now, I’ll be happy with any lose, it doesn’t have to be significant!

Keep up the good work! When I was working, the vending machines were my enemies too. So I know how tempting it can be. I know what you mean about having an exercise buddy. I used to meet my sister-in-law at the gym and I couldn’t stand her up, she was there faithfully.
Good for you, Girlfriend!! You’ve taken some important first steps, and I know you can get back on track!
You can do this! I KNOW you can!
Kudos for baby steps. We all need to get into that mind frame. To often we just expect the pounds to shed and most of the time, thats not going to be the case. I think all of us have had to start over, I know I have. Have a great two weeks and I hope the scale shows it.
I don’t think the title of your blog is appropriate here for I see these changes as GIANT LEAPS!! Whatever happens at that weigh-in Tamira, you’re doing wonderful making all these changes. You are going to do wonderful because you’ve done it before…it’s just about getting back in the zone and if anyone can do it….you can!!!
I love coffee in the AM too. What really helped me get rid of all those extra calories from the creamers and stuff was to replace that with skim milk and splenda, I promise you will love it !
