OK, OK, yesterday was bad...when it comes to food and exercise. I ate too much, I ate the wrong foods, and I did not exercise. But, and this is a big BUT, because I put up a blog post yesterday, I thought about it all day. And I knew I needed to figure out a plan to get back on track.
This morning I woke up committed to my program. I ate breakfast first. Somehow I forgot how much I like to eat breakfast before I do anything else. This innkeeping thing is different. We get up in the morning and make coffee and breakfast, for 24 other people. And somewhere around 10:00 I realize I haven't eaten and that I've only had half a cup of coffee. At that point I'll eat some eggs and have a cup of coffee, but that never satisfies me and I end up eating a muffin, thinking that one muffin won't hurt, then perhaps I'll have a second or I'll just snack my way through the rest of the day.
It is my day off today, so it is not a fair representation of the way things will be, but I woke up at 5:00, in spite of it being a day off. I woke up early to lift weights, but I really didn't want to go in our little gym. Then it occurred to me that I should eat breakfast first. That's what I did in Kansas City. I can do it here, too. So I padded downstairs to our great big kitchen in my PJs and slippers and made myself a nice Whole 30 breakfast and enjoyed a cup of coffee. After that, working out didn't seem like such a bad idea. Today is off to a great start! A healthy breakfast, a good workout, and a blog post. I plan on going for a beautiful walk to day in the snow to a favorite local destination called Diana's Bath. It is truly beautiful up here. I am looking forward to going outside for a spell.
Until tomorrow.

2/6/17: Time to Get Back on MY Program
We arrived on December 16th, starting working for Steve Lambert as innkeepers-in-training on December 19th, and took over the Bernerhof Inn Bed and Breakfast as co-innkeepers at 8:00PM on New Year's Eve. It has been a crazy 7 weeks. It is now time to reorient myself and start focusing on my health.
Up to this point I have been single focused on everything that is entailed with running the inn. This encompasses everything from how to clean a jacuzzi tub for two (you have to climb in the damn things) to learning how to run a business with Carla. What I have not been focused on is my diet and my exercise program.
I have not found time to cook healthy meals and I have not found time to exercise. Starting today, I will do both of those things.
I can't seem to stay committed to my health without blogging about it. So that will start today, too.
I don't have a scale. I will buy one today. I have no idea how much I weigh.
So, it has started. I will blog regularly, weigh daily, lift weights three days a week, get outside and hike or ski or do something physical three days a week, and eat healthy food.
There is no point in becoming an innkeeper if I can't be healthy doing it.
Talk to you tomorrow.
