New habits and moderation

I did thirty minutes cardio (split between stationary bike and treadmill) again today and yesterday. Yahoo! It's been quite a change this week and last from some previous lunchtimes before starting to work out. In those, I would drive to McDonald's and get an extra value meal (double burger, fries, coke). I'm NOT counting calories, but I do know working out and eating a healthy lunch is a much better choice and habit to get into. I've lots of new habits to make and old one's to break; I won't be changing all of them at once nor will I be perfect in the attempt.

Moderation is vital for me. I can't eat or diet or live in absolutes. I wont work out absolutely every lunch, nor will I absolutely NEVER drive and treat myself to fast food. I refuse to say I will never eat any one particular food I enjoy. This fitness is great, I feel the benefits, and I'll keep going, but it has and I have to be realistic. It's how often I eat well and exercise versus eating poorly and not exercising that will make a big difference in my overall health and weight over time.
