After huffing and puffing for the last couple of years I am finally at the crossroad. I keep eating garbage and not exercising or start eating right and moving my keister. So I chose the latter.
I started exercising this year after seeing my pudgy DS becoming a lean muscle machine
I figured if he could do it so could I. So I started going to the gym with him. At first I would go maybe once a week with him and do 10 minutes on the eliptical.
Fast forward to July. I now go at least 5 times a week and am logging 1 hour 20 minutes on the eliptical and swimming 3 times a week for my "Oprah" arms.
I feel better and my clothes are starting to sag on me. I still have to work on the garbage I eat, but I'm getting better.
So here is my pledge:
I will go to the gym and do at least 60 minutes of cardio at least 4 times a week.
I will cut out 1 piece of garbage from my diet weekly. Example: This week I will not eat chocolate (lets see how long I can do this). Next week it will be no chocolate and no chips. This will be an experiment (I saw someone on one of the news channels this morning who lost weight doing this) and I will write how this goes.
I don't know what I'll do when I go to DL in a couple of weeks. It might be a good test for me. I know I'll enjoy myself anyway with or without chocolate and chips.
I might give myself a cheat day every other week or so because I know the way I diet and I don't want to saboutage my eating plan by cutting all junk food out and then binging later.
I will write up a TR and include my eating when I get back.
I am hoping that by writing this for others to see I can hold myself accountable and for once be successful.
No starvation diets just healthy eating using moderation in all things and good vigorous exercise.
I CAN DO IT!
