I don't know what to title this

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. " - Alan Cohen

I completely agree with this quote, it's so easy to get into a pattern of what feels good and what is easy - even though most of those things will eventually lead to self destruction. Drugs, drinking, over eating, etc. Change is hard or else the world would be a much better place.

Any who...

So this morning I went and did yoga with Mom, I think I'm going to start doing that every Saturday morning with her, it was something a little different and I would really like to get some of my flexibility back. There are a lot of poses that hurt like down dog because it puts a lot of pressure on my wrists and hands, but that's also probably due to my weight. Unfortunately, due to my weight I think that is what is causing a lot of my back issues as well. If it still hurts after I get down to a healthy weight I think I might go and see what a chiropractor can do for me, or maybe a good massage therapist.

I went up a little bit on the scale today (only 0.2lbs) but it was enough to kind of put me in a depressed little mood. I think it might be because I didn't get anywhere close to my calorie goal yesterday (even before working out last night). And maybe my body went into a starvation saving stuff stage. So today I'm going to get closer to the 1400 I'm alloted and also work out. I've also decided that I'm not going to go over my calorie goal even if I do work out. I know that they add calories back for the day, and you're able to eat a little more if you want to. But it seems kind of like cheating to me, but we'll see how that goes.

Chris is doing this with me, or I'm doing this with Chris - haha either way we're doing this together. And unlike when I joined LA Weight Loss I think this is going to go a 100 times better because I don't have a skinny little boy eating all the stuff I want to! Even though I don't think he needs to loose any weight, I'm extremely glad he's doing it so we can support and kick each others ass if need be. Actually, just about everyone I know and love has joined TDP and it's pretty cool to watch and check how each other is doing.

Again, I think I've rambled enough for the day, but then again it's only 4:30.. and I don't get off until midnight... so I might just be back haha.
