Ok, so much for going at it gung-ho (sp?) to start with and really stepping out there to make a change. A change is what I've decided I really must need. I need to look at this change of habit thing differently.
I once reading in a cosmo or some other unfortunate gospel of truth that sometimes, if you just don't feel in the mood, you should fake it a little. Now the article wasn't complete nonscense. It argued that, no you shouldn't fake the whole act, but if you get in there a little, you're more likely than not to pick up the vibe and start feeling it, so to speak. And for as much as I really love... the act... stumbling on that "moment" when you're certainly not expecting it (heck, usually expecting it NOT to happen), is always a-maz-ing.
This is how I need to make exercise to me. I need to focus on the pay-offs. How good I feel healthier and how happy I am not to have to think about it so much. It's about simplifying. And I LOVE simplifying. It's like a shoe-habbit or a sport's team fetish for other people. I like to organize and beautify through simplicity. That's almost another rant.
Anyways. Must work on focus.
On the plus side, logging calories and burn time into tiny apps on my phone, much to my chagrin, seems to be working. I logged a 4 (or 8 if you count the difference between clothes-on-at-gym-scale to naked-and-on-new-high-tech-home-scale) lb loss from monday to wednesday (thursday).
Then I ate Chipoltle and home made chocolate chip cookies on friday. Eh. Two steps forward one step back is still a net gain, right? Ok, setting a date with the elliptical.
