Between my new ways of eating and the intense morning workouts, I can't wait to see the results at the end of 4 months on June 4th! Ben has taught me so much about nutrition and I have learned that I can overpower that little voice inside my head that says there's no way I can do one more Gobblet Squat or Row. I've also squashed the other little voice that says I need a sweet after dinner. See ya.
After days 1 & 2, I couldn't even get up out of a chair without assistance. I knew it would only get better so I persevered. Then we had the weekend off (thank God). But Ben worked us like dogs this past week. Every class, we seem to increase our reps and weights so that's encouraging but says WAKE UP to those muscles that have been in hibernation since high school.
Changing my food habits has been 70% of the battle, while exercise is probably 30%. I have never had a problem exercising. I love it. It's the motivation I lacked. I want to go to class every morning, it's becoming part of my day. Usually after our Metabolism Makeover class (which I highly recommend everyone takes) on Saturdays, I go grocery shopping, then go home and break out the tupper ware and zip lock baggies and prepare my meals for the week. Some examples are, protein packed chili, cutting up berries for yogurt, portioning chicken and/or fish, washing, cutting and preparing veggies for stir-fry or salads. I also plan my meals for the week. The best part of this is the new foods I'm eating are actually good. Ben is teaching me how to fuel my body with what it needs. You don't put water in your car's gas tank. If you did, you're transmission would be done and you'd have some leaky gaskets! Think of your body as the same way. Simple as that.
Stay tuned for my daily menus and maybe some recipes.
Thank you everyone for cheering me on!
