I've been working out and trying to change my diet, however, I can't seem to stay on track with both of them at the same time. I go to the gym with my coworker a 2-3 times a week and I also try to do DVD workouts at lunch a few times a week with another coworker.
I'm still the same. It's time that I stop screwing around and do the clean eating and working out at the same time. In order to succeed, I will be joining my November 21 Day Fix group members with the portion-control meal plan which is the cornerstone of the program.
I'll be filling those color-coded containers with only unprocessed foods, specifically those aligned with the Autoimmune Protocol (which eliminates all allergens). I'll keep taking my supplements and I'll leave the drinking behind (I have a wine habit).
Rather than following the DVD workouts which go along with the program though, I'm going to be doing other workouts... some of which will be CrossFit. That's right, I'm going to head over to my favorite box and take some introductory classes to relearn the skills that have atrophied in the past year or two!
I'm also going to be keeping up with this blog daily for the 21 days of the November group which begins on 11/3/14. I'll be staying accountable by posting here, and I'll be including the workout I did each day, a photo, and a recap of my eating for the previous day.
I suppose all that's left is posting the before pictures. This is not easy, but you know, I'm not ashamed.
Goals: I enjoy being in a good mood. "Only work out on days you want to feel happy" they say.
Another inspiration for fitness would be to have athleticism. I never did sports growing up, I was only in dance classes to help my coordination after extensive childhood surgeries, and I existed most of my life thinking that I was handicapped and incapable of running fast or being a good athlete.. or doing anything physical, really.
I want to be fit so I can PLAY, I want to be able to accomplish great feats with my body and I want to feel like asking my legs to jump or "zig-zag" is an act of elation and expression instead of a struggle.
