Just an Update...

Posted by SLauer00 on Feb 19, 2008 7:06:51 PM

Well, I am moving right along. Honestly, I am begining to enjoy working out. I kind of have a routine now and walking is definitely a part of it. The more I exercise, the less I want to eat crappy foods. This is definitely a change for me. I haven't eaten fast food in almost 2 months. That is incredible for me. It was nothing for me to just swing through McDonalds or Taco Bell for a quick 1,000 calories and 50g of fat. Now, the thought of that kind of food makes me sick. I can feel my life starting to change. I now realize that food should be eaten for nutrition, NOT pleasure. It really makes sense when you see food for its nutritional value, not just taste.

 

As far as my walking plan goes....I am getting into it. I am still not near where I would like to be, but I am making progress. My knees are still killing me, but I try to walk through the pain. Sometimes I have to cut my walks a little short or go at a slower pace, but I push myself to the limit. The funny part is...the harder I push, the more I enjoy the workouts. My biggest pleasure is at the end of my workout. When I accomplish my goals and know I worked 100%. Its the greatest feeling ever!! I can't wait to tell you all about my new sit-up/crunch routine. Just wanted to give you a little update.....

Wonderful news Sara!  You've done so well with sticking to it that now all the benefits are starting to shine through. It takes a good 4-5 weeks for things become habit forming and from the sound of your latest blog it sounds like you are right on target.  Wait until you can actually get outdoors and see the sun while you walk and bike!! 

 

Keep it up.  You are doing great and motivating a lot of folks to do the same.
