A work in progress

Because fit and healthy is not a goal, it's a lifestyle...

so far

I have had:

Whole grain spaghetti with traditional tomato sauce

A chocolatey mint chewy

A small piece of chocolate with caramel inside (about the size of the hershey’s kissed)

A miniature 3 Musketeers

a pack of raisins

Day 1 of 30 day shred

So, if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit. And I am determined to make healthy a habit again. So I decided to do the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred because I figured if I follow some sort of program that I must do everyday then it would be easier to stick to the goal, as opposed to just going to the gym here and there. I thought about doing Insanity again but I’ve tried doing it so many times, and by week 3 I get bored. I’m excited because I’m doing it different this time.

I’m starting off by actually counting my meals. I’m having 4-5 a day, and that includes snacks because I snack way too much, and binge too much, so I’m trying to make this a process of not just becoming fit, sexy and healthy, but also a spiritual thing where I am going to focus on reading books, and controlling my emotions through other means rather than eating. 

Also, I’m not getting on the scale anymore! At least not for a very, veeery long time (I’m thinking a month or two which is a lot for me), and instead I’m using measuring tape. I’m going to measure myself every 10 days or so.

I’m really excited about all this, especially because I want to be healthy and not just count calories. When I only count calories, I let myself eat anything by thinking that it’s within the calorie-range, and then I eventually stop counting for the day when I realize that that chocolate bar took over my entire day!

This time will be different…I can feel it. I won’t let myself fail. I want it bad.
