OK, this is it. I must take control of my body once again; I’ve let myself slip too far. And this is the farthest I’ve slipped.

I must keep up my gym twice a week routine, however it’s hard when I travel for work. But then I will do it once a week.

Walks on the days I don’t go to the gym. I must find batteries, or buy new ones, for my MP3-player. Music will make it easier. I might try running as well, but I’m having a problem with my claves. They hurt like hell when I run and I don’t know why. Boyfriend can’t figure out why, a co-worker said that she had the same problem and one day it just stopped hurting, when her calves had gotten stronger. Maybe I’ll start with the treadmill since it’s more sparing on your legs.

Eat healthier, or at least eat less. Stop before I’m full. Just eat what I need, not have seconds just because it tastes well. Less sweets, cookies and cakes (OK, I don’t eat as much as it sounded like, but I can still eat less). No cups of hot cocoa at work, tea or water in stead.

I bought a Pilates book last week, so I will try and do some of that if I’m not doing anything else. I’m imagining doing this outside, in the morning (if the weather’s nice). Unfortunately boyfriend “steals” all the yard work that could be considered exercise (such as mowing the lawn) and I’m left with clearing the weeds, a job that needs to be done, but just involves standing still. I should mow the lawn next time, maybe even using the manual lawnmower as opposed to the one boyfriend uses which runs on gasoline.

But today, June 1, is the first day. My goal; a happier, healthier, more fit Eitchy!
