Slowly but surely....
One day at a time......one step at a time.
This week I've had a reality check and started thinking on, "Why, do I really want to do this?" This healthy lifestyle and the best reasons I've come up with is, just because. Just because I want to eat right, exercise regularly so that I won't have to struggle when I actually have to exercise, and feel good physically about myself.
My boost off this week was, once again.....a fad diet...Well hell, I've got to start somewhere. Anyway, I'm trying the Birmingham diet....the one where you're on 3 days and moderately eat the other 4. What I plan to accomplish with this is to be more conscious about what I eat. So far, I'm on day 3 and I must say that I'm exceptionally proud that I've made it through the hard part. Not only that but was/am able to put my mind over the matter. I've even been motivated enough to successfully "pass" another PT test. I've also taken the previous advice of B-Kay and purchased "no need for speed" by John "The Penguin" Bingham. So far, this has turned out to be an excellent read and was suprised of how much more motivated I've become since I've picked it up. I feel as if he wrote it specifically for me. (Thanks B-Kay!) 
With that said, I'm back in the game! I have lost a few inches over the last week; I've been running twice a week and also been going to a Body Pump class. (awesome!) As John "The Penguin" Bingham said in his book. One foot in front of the other. That's an exciting start for me.
Have a great weekend!!
