Changing It Up

It's funny how sometimes it's the little things that motivate you.

We just bought one of those medical scales that they use in doctor's offices (like in the picture up there).  For some reason I am super excited about it.  I feel like it's more accurate - even though I have no real reason to distrust my digital one.

With my renewed motivation, I have decided to change things up a little.  I have combined a bunch of advice from things that I've heard people say has worked for them and am going to start implementing them.  I'm going to do five days a week of sensible eating (counting calories, only whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables and lean meats).  One day a week I am going to fast.  And the other day is going to be a day when I can eat what I want (within reason) and not feel guilty about it.  I feel like that day of "cheating" (although it won't really be cheating since it's allowed) will keep me motivated.

I realize that this post holds no information or motivation to help you along...just thought I'd share my excitement and my plans.

Have a great weekend - I hope that next week I can be a little more profound.
