How many times have you said to yourself, "I'll start my diet on Monday". I have have said it so many times I've lost track!! I am tired of waking up in the morning and being miffed at myself because of the way I ate the day before. I decided what I need it #1 accountability and #2 commitment. What better way to hold yourself accountable than to post your progress daily via a blog on the internet! So that is what I decided to do. Come along on the journey with me to becoming healthy and fit!
Back in 2006, while going to Curves, I got down to 127lbs, so I know how lose weight but I am not so good at staying there. I am not obese and only have about 15lbs to shed. For me, it is not about being skinny or staying at a certain weight. I just want to be fit and toned. I have for years wanted toned arms and tummy and even back in 2006 when I lost that weight, my arms and tummy where still not toned.
Another thing you should know.....I love working out. I have Beach Body's P90X and TurboFire dvds. I LOVE turbofire and have been doing that for about 9 months 4-5 days a week along with the P90X legs DVD one day a week. I currently work out 5-6 days a week so my cardio is good and my legs are fairly toned. But I need to work on my arms, chest, back and abs more.
What really got me fired up about doing a fitness blog is a lovely girl named Jen. I found her on pinterest. She has an amazing story and is such an inspiration. You can read about her here.
Now the truth.....my problem is I love to eat!! I eat pretty healthy really....breakfast is either oatmeal with flax and chia seeds or an eggbeaters omelet filled with veges....oh and cheese (my nemesis, or should I say one of my nemesis') During the work week, I eat a salad with black peppered turkey, avocado, tomato, green pepper, red onion, flax seed, feta cheese with raspberry vinaigrette dressing topped off with garlic croutons. Not too shabby.....
The problem comes at dinner and the weekends.......I love potatoes, pasta, bread, beer, wine, you know, all the sugary, starchy carbs that inhibit weigh loss. I am not an alcoholic by any means but a few glasses of beer can be as much as 500 calories and light beer is around 300 calories and wine...not much better.
However, I decided to just do it! Become a healthier me! I want to turn 46 (December 31) in the best shape of my life, so let's get started!!
