FatBloggers.net A little push to lose the tush.

Seems I’m finally getting somewhere. Though I have not started the workouts with the workout buddy, I have started pushing myself to exercise anyway. Yesterday and today at lunch, I did a 2.2 mile walk in about 40 minutes. Today’s walk was tougher than Monday’s because I went a different route that turned out to have a larger number of inclines.

Hopefully, tomorrow, I’ll be working out with Jason and exploring new levels of pain. I’m looking forward to it because I could never make myself do it, but to have someone else encouraging me will make it easier. At least I keep telling myself that; I’ll let you know more when I finally experience it.

As for food, I’ve been making myself take my lunch more. I prepared a few meals ahead of time on Sunday so I didn’t have to think about it or rush off without it because I’m late and then buy fast food I don’t need to have.

I’ve also started pushing myself to write down what I eat and plan on posting my meal “plan” next weigh-in. This will have an limiting effect on my choices. After all, if I don’t want you to see something on that meal plan, then I have to decide not to eat it. So I just might skip that donut at work, because I know I’ll have to tell you guys too.
