So I have made a decision to get back into the best shape I can. Since my husband Lynn got sick a little over a year ago I have just stayed OK. Not really fit and not fat. Mainly because I have not made it a priority to work out and watch my food like I should. So it is time to take it to the next level or back to where I like to be. The step after my deciding to do it and determining exactly what I’m going to doing is the tracking of the doing it i.e. the food journal.

I have to say, once you start the very first day to write down what your eating all day long…you come upon what I call the “eye opener” moment. Do you track your food and drink intake? If not, get on it. You will be so surprised about exactly what you are eating, when you are eating it and how much you really are eating. So often we underestimate what we are doing. Especially when it comes to the food. As a sidebar here we usually overestimate how much we exercise…too funny and so very human!

So I started tracking my food this past Monday as that is my official start day to getting very healthy and fit again. As usual
so often when we get clients who come in and really want to change their health and fitness we encourage them to track it all by giving them a food journal book and letting them know our expectation of having them fill it out regularly as in daily.

Initially this works out great. They, like me this past week start recognizing that perhaps I and them…well we were eating alot of junk, or to much food or eating when we are bored or overeating when going out to dinner and so on. It becomes glaring obvious that we have some sticky points with this food thing. So Thank God we’ve decided to track it.

Another thing you may notice as you try to get ahold of this food business is that you just don’t like this focus your having to give it! Or maybe your hungry or maybe not hungry or maybe thinking this is just too much work. Well join the club. It is alot of work to track it and to make it available when you need it. Lots of work will go into this health and fit stuff and a majority of it is with the food issue.

So here we are starting to be accountable and tracking all the food we put in our mouths and it’s way different then you’ve lived in the past so it’s hard. But still very doable because you have your reason’s WHY you want to get healthy and fit. SO stay on course and keep at it and you know what? In a very short time (it really is a relatively short time if you consider how long you’ve been fighting this fat thing in your life) you will start to FEEL better, LOOK better, have more ENERGY and suddenly (at least if feels that way) clothes start to fit better and the best part…people start to notice and comment on how GOOD your looking. Yeehaw!!!!!

Get on board and take charge of YOUR health and fitness TODAY!

Always interested in feedback…

God Bless You,
