Good Morning World!!!!!
Wow… I am doing cartwheels inside! Day #5 of first things first and I am really stoked about this. It is interesting to me but the fact that I am writing this down is huge in making it something I have to keep going! It was interesting as I had received a number of messages overnight and today was so tempted to read them first! Happy to report that I didn’t and the few minutes I took to do first things first made me so glad I did!
So I am undertaking this massive lifestyle change right now! I have alluded to it a little bit in previous notes but today am going to flesh it out just a bit more. Since the events of a week ago I am determined that my life is going to change! Some of the things I have always done, I will continue to do. Other things that I haven’t been very concerned about I am now going to think about and act on! This has started with the “first things first” idea’s contained in my blog of about five days ago. Further I have committed to undertaking a “thirty day” fitness and eating lifestyle challenge with my co-workers. This will be totally pointless if I just do it for thirty days as I will then just revert to what was before. Not this time… things are changing and I am going to record the ride!
As of August 2nd, 2011 I am quitting cold turkey Tim Horton’s Double Doubles and French Fries totally, potato’s will be reduced to no more than half a potato at a sitting if any! Also greatly reduced Pasta in take… likely I can’t eliminate this totally as we do eat a lot of it.
Also part of this was twenty-minutes of exercise a day, every day… no specification of what for exercise but definitely twenty-minutes of exercise. I will record this and so you will know how it has worked out. Last night I walked around the north end of the lake we live at. It took me an hour; I didn’t set any land speed records, but had a nice walk and definitely felt it a little. It did tire out the pound hound that’s for sure.
Also I am going to record my measurements as this too will give a point of reference. These will be only taken at the start of the first thirty days and then again at the end. I am not going to do these on a daily or even weekly basis because for me the issue is that I am doing something not whether the measurements change at all.
Starting on Tuesday August 2nd, 2011 I am going to track all I eat in a day, everything in excruciating detail so prepare to be amazed.
