guess what i'm doing...

I'm getting in shape. The complaining stops RIGHT now and I am getting in shape.

I met with a lovely trainer, SCOTTY boy, and he is helping me change my lifestyle.

I am committed to this. I am 100% all about it.

I feel motivated and ready to take it on.

The only thing I am scared about is the actual work outs.

Scott said he will work me.

"You will probably throw up and you will probably cry."

AWESOME.

So this is the plan:

1. Eat Breakfast.

This is one of my MAJOR MAJOR problems. Since I don't eat breakfast, my body slows down it's motabolism making it even harder to digest food faster throughout the day. Since I don't eat when I'm sleeping, my body is basically in fasting mode and when I don't eat breakfast, it continues the fast mode then making my body think that I'm starving which consequently, holds on to fat cells to save itself. YEAH! BAD NEWS! So... I am eating breakfast now.

2. No more simple carbs.

This includes white potatoes, white bread, pastas, rice, tortillas... etc. This is going to be the BIGGEST challenge for me. I LOVE my carbs. They are my biggest weakness. That's all I want throughout the day! So, I am giving it up. All for the sake of health. And a sweet body.

3. Eating small meals throughout the day.

This goes along with keeping the motabolism going. I am not a huge snacker so this may be rough for me.

4. Giving up Diet Coke.

This may cause some shedding of tears. But, I have learned that the sodium in this particular drink makes your body retain water and become bloated. SICK. So... goodbye my love. It was a nice run.

5. Limit sodium to about 200 ml a day.

So... If I were to drink diet coke, I could have 1 can one day and that would be my sodium intake for the day. I need to stay away from canned products and things that have a long shelf life. Those items tend to have more sodium in them.

6. No eating past 7pm. UNLESS it's lean meats and vegetables.

This will not be such a huge problem for me since I do not generally eat past that time anyway.

7. GET MORE SLEEP.

Scott says that if I don't sleep enough and combine it with my current diet, I will not be able to get through a single work out. Sleep is necessary.

8. One free day a aweek.

Once I get into the routine of eating healthier, I get to start having a free day. Where I can eat whatever I want. If I try to maintain the diet all the time, I will probably cave and just quit. With the free day, I can know that if I want something to eat so badly, I can eat it... on FRIDAY. Or something.

So, I am posting this so that you all can know that I am committed to it. You can get me in trouble if you find me not keeping the rules. But, you won't find me not keeping the rules because I am not going to. Things change TODAY.
