Ok so as I mentioned at the beginning of this year, I am making fitness a priority. So far it is not too fun. I am enjoying my aerobics class when I am not dying. I even enjoy doing random exercises throughout the day, I think my main problem is the food aspect of my healthier living. I LOVE FOOD! I think it is something that has been engrained in me since birth. I am a southern woman and southern women like to eat.
Yesterday I went to the Chiropractor who just so happens to also be a Nutritionist. He is a super nice guy and set me up on www.livestrong.com in order to track the things I am eating. This is going to help me pinpoint my problem areas and will hopefully help me correct my ways. The website has tons of recipes, one of which I tried tonight. It was a veggie sandwich. Not too bad, but I would much rather have been biting into a big juicy burger. Knowing I have to type in what I am eating, also keeps me more accountable. It also makes me think twice about eating a snack whenever I get the whim.
I am not excited about all the sacrifices, but it will be oh so worth it when I slip in a pair of jeans a few sizes smaller. I love shopping so I suppose I can look at this as an opportunity to buy a whole new wardrobe. That in and of itself is almost more motivating than being thinner.
I will post more updates on the weight loss, until then, Drink some water and be healthy!
