New Month; new outlook
Welcome to eFAT-Blog. This is a site where you can find the journey of an American suburban working mother of 5 children's journey to a healthy lifestyle. Daily I will detail my emotions, food, activity and the like in the neverending battle of the bulge.
Come take the journey along with me.
So it's September 1st. A new month. A virtual new start to get this healthy lifestyle thing going. I've been doing pretty good on my food choices. Had some fast food two mornings ago -- a McDonald's breakfast meal. I was sick to my stomach almost the whole day. I just cannot do fast food anymore. Besides it's not really all that fast anymore. It's just fat.
I have a free gym at my disposal and have for 3 months now. I still haven't used it. It does require that I meet with the trainer and get 'accessed' and learn the machines. blah blah blah. I'm trying how to figure that into my schedule. I guess I'll just make an appointment on my schedule for Wednesday next week. I'd start sooner, but I'm teleworking today and Tuesday. And Monday is the Labor Day holiday. Hopefully, Wednesday will mean that the trainer will be there, too. I did go once and he wasn't there.
So that's my goal: make and keep the gym trainer appointment. Then work out at the gym once a week for two weeks; twice a week for 4 weeks; three times a week for 6 weeks and so on....
Second goal: Each and everynight, do some stretches for my back and small exercises I learned in physical therapy.
Third goal: Try at least one day out of the weekend to take a walk, hike, or play with my kids in another form of exercise.
I'm feeling really old today, but woke up with new resolve. Hopefully I make some progress.
