Fitness Test

Well today was sort of a downer. Since I am now on phase 2 of the HCG diet I decided that I am going to start working out more to tone up and manage my weight until I go on another round of the HCG diet in July.

PS. I went from 211 down to 174 from April 3 to May 23. That is 37 lbs in less than 2 months!!!!

So I joined Lifetime Fitness in Riverton and went in for my fitness test today. It was pretty discouraging. Even with losing almost 40 lbs I am still considered obese and am "not fit" according to every standard. GRRR. I mean at least I am eating so much better, but I have a long road ahead of me until I am considered "healthy".

I feel like I was a food aholic and now I am paying the toll of 24 years of binge drinking or something. Anytime I am around food I look at it like it is heroin or something that if I even take one bite of that, I might go back to where I started. They really need to have like a food-aholics meeting group or something for those of us who are changing our ways.

I just wish that the food market would come out and tell us exactly how unhealthy the food that they are promoting is. I mean even Sweet Tomatoes or Subway is like TERRIBLE unless you are only eating the vegitables, fruit, and whole wheat bread. And I was eathing out all the time, chips, soda, snacks, pastries, pasta. CRAP. And not exercising like at all. So now I am paying my dues I guess.

You eat crap, you will feel and look like crap. Unless you are Josh..... That boy could eat a crap 24/7 and look like a Rock Star.

Anyways so new goals aside from eating better:
1. Go to the gym Mon-Fri for at least 45min.
2. Stretch/ yoga every morning and every night.
3. Lift weights twice a week.

I have been reading a new book about doing hard things called
DO HARD THINGS

And it is really great. I can DO this if I make it a priority in my life.
So I will keep this updated and let you all know how it is going.
