The Home Stretch

Amy:

One (of many) motivation for changing my eating and exercise habits is energy conservation. I'm really sick of spending the day up and down, up and down and then crashing in a heap on the couch at 5pm. When I eat sugary snacks all day at work, all I want to do is lounge around and watch TV when I get home. I have no energy to walk my dog, rollerblade, run, mountain bike or do any of the other activities I enjoy.

I felt pretty good yesterday. I didn't eat any sweets at all. I exercised when I got home, then power-walked up a big hill, walked my dog and then tidied up the house. I went to bed at 9:30, read for a half hour and turned the light off at 10pm. I slept better than I have in a long time. Last night for dinner, I had broccoli with olive oil - that was it! No dessert, no "second" dinner - nothing. And you know what? I survived!
