There are a lot of things running through my mind to blog about, but the one that keeps flying through is things I would have never done before. This is the first time I have actually kept to eating healthy for this long. Now, it's only been since December 28th, but still...that's a huge step for me. Saying that I see tons of reasons people do not eat healthy, or stop a short time after. It is expensive! That seems so crazy to me! I went to the store the other day to buy ingredients (mostly vegetables) for Mushroom Veggie Burgers & I spent 20.00...on veggies! Yikes! However, my families health is more important to me than what I spend on our food.
Another first is working out...yea I've worked out before, but nothing to this calibur. I'm meeting with a personal trainer once a week, and hitting the gym most every day. Of course things come up and I can't get in there on certain days, and I have to tell myself that it's okay...that almost feels strange to me. I am having to tell myself who has been a chubby couch potato that it is okay if you miss one day at the gym. That is a big accomplishment to me. I want this, and I want it bad.
Tonight, my mom and I tried a spinning class....boy let me tell you, that is a WORK-OUT! The seat hurts your butt, I could hardly keep up with which way to turn my fly wheel for resistance...just a jumbled mess. I wanted to leave, but perservered. I didn't do great, but I made it through the whole class. I am proud of myself and the person I am becoming.
It's really easy to get down on yourself through a life changing journey; however, the more days you make it through the stronger you get. I'm sure there will be many firsts in this journey for me, and I'm ready for them. 2012 is my year!
