Dieting blows.
I really, really don't want to diet, also, I don't want to work out. Unfortunately, there's no other way to get smoking hot, so I've weighed my wants versus what it takes to get them. Conclusion: Dieting sucks, but not as much as being an unhealthy chubby girl. (Okay, not *chubby* I'm fat, let's be honest here.)
So, yesterday I decided to join a gym, this is really no big shocker. I decide to join a gym at least 3 times a week, usually while consuming bacon or watching vast amounts of TV. Yesterday was a novelty in that I actually did it.
I printed out a picture of Christina Hendricks from Mad Men and brought it with me to the gym. When I sat down with the trainer, Justin, I pulled it out of my pocket and slapped it down on the table saying "This is what I want to look like." Justin's eyes nearly bugged out of his head, there was an audible gulp and a shakey breath out before he manned up, looked me in the eye and said that if that was my goal, he could help me with it. Points for you Justin for not laughing at the fat lady with hot lady goals!
Justin then proceeded to walk me through all that's wrong with my body. We went over what percent body fat I am (40% holy God), what my basic body mass is (122 lbs) and how much I need to lose to get back to a healthy body fat percent (60 lbs!). Justin then walked me through the fabulous world of having a personal trainer. Visions of Madonna and Fergie danced around my brain, I saw myself shedding pounds like magic and being a svelte sex kitten in a matter of weeks. I was eager to sign up, then Justin dropped the bomb on me. It's a freaking fortune for a personal trainer. 96 sessions with a personal trainer costs $4,416, and that's at a discount O_o there's no way I can afford that. So, my visions of sex with Jon Hamm disappeared when I realized that I was on my own for weight loss.
Justin did give me some good starting points. I have to eat 500 calories less than I was before, I *MUST* make a food journal, cut out one soda a week until I'm down to zero, I need to work out for an hour a day every day. If I follow all of Justin's rules I can drop 60 pounds in 30 weeks.
So, here's day 1
Breakfast-an orange. I hate breakfast, I try, as much as I can, to sleep through it. With 2 kids this isn't easy, but I manage.
Lunch-Leftover chicken and rice (not "healthy" but not horrible, right...?
Awww *hugs* you can do it.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! The sodas REALLY kill diets. I don't know why, but when I had Alex, I cut those out and replaced them with water. Then I cut back on milk consumption. I use it for baking and in my cereal, but unless I have chocolate cake, I don't drink it. It really helped! I'll keep following you too!
