So why now? What changed that made me want to really change the way I look? This is it in a nutshell:
I think that if I don't attempt it now, then I'll never know if I can. Oh....and I love a good challenge.
It is my greatest hope that great Abs are NOT made in the kitchen & can be achieved soley with endless crunches. I am secretly hoping that I can prove all those other body sculpting enthusiasts wrong. First off, you should understand that I abhor the entire concept of dieting. I would honestly rather do five thousand crunches every single day than deny myself one bite of something I crave. You should also know that I have already changed that number three times. One thousand wasn't enough compared to my desire for a heaping pile of homemade mashed potatoes covered in butter, bacon and an enormous amount of cheese. I decided it might not be feasible to complete 10,000 sit-ups in one day. Does that help you comprehend the size of my chosen task?
I LOVE a lot of foods that you will not find on most serious body builder's grocery lists. Luckily the past few years, I have also developed a strong distaste for almost all fastfood. Sodas only touch my lips via Long Island Iced teas. Oh no, please don't tell me liquor has calories....I might have to totally rethink this resolution! I'm hoping I love sweet pototoes. The owner of the gym where I teach, which cators to body builders, swears by the sweet potatoe as the perfect food. I'm not sure I've ever had one that is not dripping in butter, with a sprinkling of maple syrup. It's on the next grocery list; so, you'll be sure to hear the results soon.
So back to the number four.
My current weight is - 140
Later this month I will turn - 44
Yeah that's it. I'm not really "into" the numerology thing. It just seemed like a nice title for the blog as we approach the 4th.
P.S. Don't worry we'll get to the BEFORE pics. Need Mike's help for that & the weekend awaits. Oh joy....but what get fit blog doesn't include a BEFORE pic?
Exact same thought process here about the dieting thing. But now I've finally accepted it. The good news is, with exercise in our lifestyles like it is, once we're down to the weight we desire, it should be easy to maintain and still enjoy food, as long as there are no huge gaps of eating totally crazy.
