Exercise is the Only Way To Go..I Think :)

Ok..I just finished a very good  try to curtail the coffee and cut out the crap and eat better.  I failed.  I am tight enough.  I am feeling now like I did pre-band in my many failed attempts to get a grip on myself.  This is of course a very minor place in comparison.  I was battling 300 pounds then and had 150 to lose.  Now..I am battling 20 or so but it is no less difficult to maintain myself.  I can get through a day and then..off I go with the screaming voices urging me to fill the void with some sinful treat or another-the main one being the coffee habit.

So..the alternative (and deep down I knew this all of the time as did some of you fellow bloggers who told me so while I was moaning many posts ago) is exercise. I need to get out of my chair, out of this shop when it is closed and onto my bike or feet or whatever I can manage REGULARLY.  In the past exercise has been the one thing that pushed the pounds off when I was stuck.  Exercise is the one thing that helped me curb my desire to stuff down sweet stuff.  Exercise burned calories that I sometimes failed to resist during the day.

I don't need to run...I don't need to do a marathon or even a wild man crazy triathlon.  I just need to move a little more everyday.  Run up and down my stairs 6 or seven time.  Walk for a few miles or ride my bike for a few more.  Changing jobs cut down on a huge amount of daily exercise for me (about 2 miles walk per day).  having the store in my basement has locked me into the house a whole lot more than I normally would have been before.  Only I can do something about that.
