Official

It's official. I am on the path to health and fitness! I had vacation days scheduled on monday and tuesday so all weekend I stayed home and relaxed, meditated and planned my strategy. Of course I ate like a pig too. I'm not gonna say how much I ate but it was too much for 1 person to be eating in 1 sitting. I think a part of me just wanted to get all of those urges out of my system before I got down to business. I know it's unhealthy (binging/restricting cycle) and I will be keeping this journal to stay conscious of this. It wont be the last time I have an urge to eat an insane amount of pizza or sushi or whatever I'm craving.

This morning I took a boot camp fitness class at my gym. Class started at 6:30AM. OMG it was the most intense workout ever. I was huffing and puffing like nobodies business. Sweating all over the place. I didnt complete all of the exercises but I didnt beat myself up about it. My body REALLY got a workout and everyone has to start somewhere. The class meets on mondays and wednesdays. I'm going to make it my business to be at that class every week. When I got home I had enough time to shower and get ready for work so its perfect. I marked the workout down on my big calendar in my bedroom and I hope to fill that calendar up with workouts this month.

Before I went to the gym I drank a nutrament. I read online that you shouldn't workout in the morning on an empty stomach and that a decent pre workout meal is a protien shake or some combination of protien, complex carbs and fat. I need to buy some protien powder so I can make my own shakes in the morning. Nutrament is $2 a can. When I got to work I bought some strawberries, peaches and a banana. I had the banana with some peanut butter. I felt hungry a little later and had a couple strawberries. For lunch I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken from mc donalds. I'll have my fruits for the rest of the afternoon and when I get home I'll probably have another chicken salad. I'm going food shopping to pick up some chicken breasts. They'll be seasoned and some will be cooked while the rest will be frozen. I need to look up some new recipes as well. If you have any quick and tasty recipes let me know.

Guys please pray that I'm able to maintain this. I really want to be at 215 by my birthday in October. Thats 30 pounds away!
