I've noticed that i'm becoming more hesitant to cook for myself and my family

as I've been going through the process and learning about the ins and outs of weight loss.

I'm saddened by this because i love to cook.

cooking, baking, sauteing, grilling, etc.. etc...

I don't know if it's part of my addiction to food,

the way I've been educated about food, the way I've been brought up,

or just part of my personality.

 

Bah!

 

I've been on summer vacation for a while

as well as doing a summer internship at a vet/pet hospital.

Summer's in full swing, but my internship is coming to an end

which worries me since the internship keeps me moving and active.

Since I'm not working right now, and not in school, i end up sitting or lying around literally doing nothing.

With the invention of Netflix on my PS3

i'm able to support this lazy attitude quite easily.

What i have found motivating on Netflix are a few shows.

'Heavy' as well as 'Hoarders' keep me moving since i don't want to end up like the people on those shows.

 

I really need to find a job are refocus my life before i fall of the wagon completely.

As it is, it feels like i'm barely holding on.

Might just be the PMS that's making me feel lazy and tired.

Note to Self: Get over it!

Do you journal? I have found that setting goals for myself each day helps keep me focused and on track. When I venture away from my journal, I don't do as well (esp. true for exercise). As far as the cooking go you can still find ways to make old "favorite" recipes healthier. I have made this my challenge. As I do love to cook as well. I have had a lot of fun revamping old recipes. You might also want to see about volunteering at an animal shelter. It would be a way to get up and out for the day. Who knows...it might even lead to connections for your future career. Keep your chin up and know that you are worth it!!! Take time to appreciate and treasure you!!
