Fat Lazy Soccer Mom Gets Healthy

One morning I found myself at a crossroads – I could either pack my bags and leave everything behind, finding myself a small hut on some uninhabited island or I could begin complaining about every little thing that bugs me on a public forum. The better of the two options was obvious, so I started to pack. Then I realized that my children would quickly demolish the house and escape – thus being let loose on the world. I just couldn’t let that happen.

Day One.

So far so good. I packed a healthy lunch for work and set my phone alarm to go off at 12:30 and remind me to take a walk during my lunch break. I stuck to this plan until.... somebody asked if I had gone to my favorite ice cream shop yet which just re-opened for the season. AAAAAARRRRRGHH.

I first thought "Oh yeah I can take the kids there after work." Then, less enthusiastically, I thought "Oh yeah, I changed my life this morning."
What a bummer! I am now wondering if improving my healthy outlook will really help me achieve inner peace - or is it ice cream that does that?

Well - the next step for the day is to write down all of the foods I ate as well as the exercise I got. Then I have to consider whether I am going to forgive the skinny little twenty something girl who was a total b**** today, or give up speaking to, assisting or giving advice to her for all of eternity. Not sure which of those choices leads to inner peace either.

This might be harder than I thought.
