Back on track

 Ok, So i have had a couple bad weeks.  It wasn't horribly bad, no real bingeing but definitely not on track.  I wasn't eating bad food just more of it than I should have.  I also changed jobs which is not in walking distance like my previous job.  So a combo of eating too much and missing out on my 30 minute walk twice a day has lead to me feeling a little worse about myself and my "diet".  

So, enough complaining. How do we fix this.  Well, first off i have been getting back to eating better and keeping track of what i am eating.  I am trying to find a better way to keep track of points that i will actually stick to.  Writing it down works but its hard for me to carry around a little journal and keep track that way, and at my new job i am away from a computer all day so that's not really an option.  My new strategy is to plan out all my food for the day before i leave my house that way i know what and when i will eat and so long as i only eat what has already been decided then i should be fine.

My second course of action was to, drum roll please, join a Gym!  Yes, i did it finally.  I used to belong to Healthworks but i did not enjoy it at all. 1, its all women ,and not like i am trying to pick up or be picked up but god, its just annoying, and 2 the women were always just naked all the time in the locker room....like too much naked. Like, lotion up naked...it was just awkward.  It was like, i get it, you can be naked so you are soaking it in as much as possible.

I am really happy with my gym choice. It is fairly cheap (i think cutting out my take out will make up for the membership cost) and it seems like a decent place.  The only downside to the gym is that it is on a corner building downtown and it has all glass windows. I kinda hate working out with everyone on the street watching me but my new mantra when it makes me nervous is "fuck them, i am doing fine".  Ok, its a little harsh but it sorta my mantra for life right now. I am trying to just not worry about other people and its been making me feel quite well. 

Ok, so that's all.  Oh! Wait.  Here are my new fitness goals, just so they are in writing and i can't shortchange myself later.

Goal 1: Lose 10 more pounds this month (or rather by 3/6)

Goal 2: Be able to run non stop for at least 15 mins.

Goal 3: Use the weights, don't just do cardio!

Goal 4: Go to the gym 3x's a week.

Ok, now for real that's all. 

Happy fitness.
