Getting Back on Track.... While Listening to Adele

The not so exciting moment when you need to weigh yourself knowing you've ate everything that's wrong came to me today. I could've just ignored my body and not weighed in. I could've just said "maƱana," which means tomorrow in spanish... but I didn't. I decided to take responsibility for my actions and suck it up. I removed every piece of clothing from my body. Even my pint size earings where too much for this. And slowly I got on it. I closed my eyes and counted to ten. I opened them to realize I had gained weight. I was bummed. But what made this even worst for me was that I again was above 200lbs. 201.6lbs to be exact. I was upset with myself because there is no excuse. There is no excuse for what I chose to eat. So I decided to finally regain my composure and go back to what worked. it's as simple as that. Exercise and healthy dining. I know the things that hurt my metabolism (soda & sugar being the top two). I can have it once in a while or a little at a time, but I know that hasn't been the case. I know that i've over done it. And now I must take back control and get with it. So I had a nice healthy meal which consisted of chicken and broccoli soup... and a side of fresh fruit. I had some bubbly water with lemon to wash it down. Later on I pushed myself to the gym. I ran for an hour and hit the elliptical for a good 30 minutes. It was a good welcoming work out. I feel great :) I'm glad I have taken the initiative. It's hard y'all, but I need to do this for me. Wish me luck!

On other news, I'm addicted to the sounds of Adele. Everyone has heard the song "Rolling in the Deep". At least I think so. I fought hard not to fall into the trap... but yesterday while in search of new music for my ipod I downloaded her cd "21" and ohmyGOD! It is awesome! Her voice and style remind me of Ella Fitzgerald. She has such a soulful sound. I love her! "21" is an awesome album. It's been on replay the whole day. These are my faves from this CD thus far....
