Backslider

Ok ok, I get it, I haven't posted in AGES. get off me. My life has been super busy, I recently started a new job, I'm now the Marketing and Competitions Coordinator for the Omaha Sports Academy...shameless plug. So I've been dealing with that a lot lately trying to fit in, which is pretty well honestly.

I love my job, who wouldn't love getting to spend all day immersing ones self in basketball. I've always lived and breathed sports, now I just get paid to do it, which I think makes me a professional athlete; maybe. But I'm rambling so I shall get to the point.

Backsliding.

We've all done it. I recently was watching a television show I have become obsessed with called, "New Girl" It is a witty comedy that makes me smile and I think everyone should watch it to be a little bit happier with their lives. I heard the term "backsliding" on this show while they were talking about relationships. I thought about all my past relationships and thought, oh crap, that's totally me.  But I realized it wasn't with guys for the most part, but food.

How often do you get on "health kicks" where you decide you're going to pretty much become a rabbit for the next two months to see if that helps shed the pounds. Well, it works out great for about 3 weeks, then all you can think about is burgers, chips, chocolate, anything tasty, but totally awful for your body. You backslide, right into those indulgence foods and find yourself feeling awful, and REALLY gassy. I do it all the time. I went on a pitch of being vegetarian for about 2 months, and then it totally fell apart and I drowned in a pool of hamburger grease, milkshake residue, and other unholy things.

How do you fix these things? How do you decide to stop "kicking" yourself and decide to finally make a life change, to eat healthier everyday, not because you know it will help drop the pounds, but because you WANT to eat that food, you don't want to look down and see you at 2000 calories and that was just an appetizer. I'm looking for help doing this. I find myself eating well for days on end, I've even started to like fish, which is new for me. Only to turn around a week later to see a plate full of a 1/2 lb burger and 8 servings of fries, don't worry, we got dessert too.

HOW DO I CHANGE? Well, here is where the challenge begins, I'm going to try new things to help myself eat better and be healthier, not just so I can have a rockin' bod, but to live longer to enjoy bringing sexy back. I'm going to start by eating veggies at one meal a day, at least! I've read small changes make the difference so I'll start with this bad boy and see how it turns out.

Wish me luck

peace, love, and greaseless fingers
