Now, i have already started my journey as of Jan 1, 2010. Since then i am down 9 pounds as of today. I have been pretty true to my goal of working out 5-6 times a week. I know that exercise is definately going to be the key to my success. The older i get, the more i am realizing that. So, i have been getting on the elliptical for 30-45 every morning, and try to fit weights in at least 3 times a week.
In the mornings i will usually eat whole wheat english muffin, eggs whites, and a coffee with non dairy sugar free creamer. In a couple of hours at work i have a protein shake and a bottle of water. For lunch a protein shake and a bottle of water. I am constantly on the move at work all day. Probably walk anywhere from 3-5 miles during the day. In the evening i usually have a low fat meal, with vegi/fruit juice. We have a juicer, so i like to get my veggies and fruit all in one shot - and you dont lose any nutrients they way either.
One small goal for me is to try and get a little exercise in a couple of evenings a week .... but at this point, i pretty much fall into bed after dinner. I am also - with each workout, trying to push myself a little harder each day. Even if its just adding 5 more sit ups, or 5 more minutes to my cardio. I wont be able to change my body if i dont push myself farther than i think i can go. Sometimes relying on "yourself" to do the pushing, is difficult. But, nobody put this weight on me but me - so it is ALL on me to take it off. I have to want it bad enough, to stick with it.
Thats it for today ...... the journey begins!
