The other day, I wrote about how America is so unhealthy. And as I was reading everyone's awesome comments, I thought to myself, 'wait a minute. I am American. I am included in this. And those 5 pounds? Those are my fault. No one forced me to drive through that Carl's Jr...'
I have decided that I need to make a change. I am still relatively young, and I am not heavy, but I am totally out of shape. I might be thin, but I'm flabby. I might not gain a ton of weight, but I don't understand how to eat healthy. These are things I want to know. I want to learn to eat healthy, consistently work out, and -- wait for it -- enjoy it.
So I started going to the gym two weeks ago. I wrote a post about it here. Three days a week is all I can handle right now, and I hope to up that in the future, but I feel like that is an accomplishment for me at this point. It is like a war zone in my house trying to get ready for the gym. Like we need our own reality show and I only have two kids.
I also started a program with something called Advocare. It starts with a 10 day cleanse to rid your body of toxins and prepare for optimal nutrient absorption and then a 14 day supplements for your weight/workout goal. So far I am loving the cleanse. I don't really feel like I am on a cleanse, I am not hungry, just a little tired, but nothing I can't handle. I have lost 3.5 pounds and I feel so trim already and I am only on day 5 of the whole program. I can't wait to see more results!! (I understand this program is supplemental and me eating healthier and going to the gym is helping too. I am not unrealistic!)
All that to say you might see a bit more about fitness and healthy eating up here on the little bloggity blog! I want to share recipes as I go and maybe even workout tips if I can learn some. Here is a little shout out to some inspirational blogs involving fitness and being healthy.
