Taking a Day Off

Dear Blog-Diary,

Can a girl get some room to breathe, please? Sometimes, you know, I just need a day off from dieting and exercise. Especially when it’s my best friend’s birthday. I’m announcing my intentions to the world rather than keeping it on the “DL” because I don’t want to feel like a cheater. “Dude, I saw Delylah eating a huge piece of cake the other day, isn’t she on a diet?!” It’s like the food police is everywhere.

Excuses get you Nowhere.

Dear Blog-Diary,

I’m sorry I’ve been such a neglectful blogger the past few days; I’ve just been so busy. At the end of the day though, excuses are still only excuses so I apologize and I promise to write more often.

Applying that to my resolution makes perfect sense. If I can visualize myself wearing that dress and walking down the aisle feeling better than ever, then surely I can do it!

Fighting with Father Time

No matter how many times it’s been said and tagged as cliché, there are still not enough hours in the day! And there certainly aren’t enough minutes to spare before it’s time to head off to work. At the beginning of this I thought I’d sort of pencil in “give up fast food during weekdays” to my new year’s resolution because the two kind of go hand in hand, but honestly, how am I supposed to say no to a super tasty Double Whopper with Cheese when it’s just a few blocks down the road, takes only moments to eat it’s deliciousness, and no time to prepare?
