I haven't been to the gym in "only God knows when". And guess what? I actually miss it! My body had gotten used to the daily cardio workout and the long jogs on the treadmill. I plan to hit the gym up, for the first time in MONTHS, after work tomorrow. I'm going to "AIM" to hit the gym in the AM before work. I recall my days being more productive and energetic when I worked out in the mornings versus the evenings. I'll have to see how my hair holds up though. **I can't go to work looking like a sweated out freak of nature.** I'm SO excited...
I've been eating everything under the sun and the numbers on the scale are definitely telling the story. This morning I weighed in at 215. It was just September that I was 203...and just November that I was 205. And, I seriously feel/can see the difference. This goes to show...maintaining weight loss and healthy eating/physical activity habits is a lifetime commitment...and just as soon as you fall off track and forget the commitment to yourself - your progress will slowly go down the drain. NO MORE...
To jump start my re-commitment I'm trying out the Special K Challenge. The concept - replace 2 meals per day with a serving of Special K cereal/milk AND fruit or a Special K protein meal bar AND fruit; eat one meal per day as you normally would (healthy of course); incorporate 2 snacks per day (Special K snack bars, SK chips, SK crackers, etc); and eat unlimited amounts of fruit and veggies. For breakfast I had a bowl of Special K Red Berry cereal. It was surprisingly very tasty. I also ate an apple. For my mid-morning snack I had some of the herb seasoned SK crackers. One serving is 17 crackers (they are tiny) - but the hit the spot! I'm thinking about having lunch as my "normal" meal of the day...and replacing breakfast and dinner with the cereal or protein bar. We'll see how that goes. Let's Get IT! Day 1...
