It all starts tomorrow.....
So starting tomorrow.....I'm embarking on a fitness journey. Having turned 40 this past year I am realizing that it's more important (as well as hard) to be in good shape.
So today I met with my trainer (Michelle Persica at Pathway to Fitness) and did all those fun things that you do with a trainer when you start a program such as this one. I got on the dreaded scale and had all the appropriate measures taken as well as my BMI (body mass index). This was all quite shocking as well as frightening! After the measurements and such we discussed the change in my diet that has to take place as well as the massive amounts of water that have to be consumed....DAILY! No doubt this is going to be a lifestyle change, but it's one that has to be done.
So all that being said tonight is the last night before I embark on this journey. I will be blogging about this journey every day (or so). I will include what I'm doing at the gym as well as what I'm eating....and I will be brutally honest (I was told I have to...thanks Michelle!).
I was talking to a high school friend on Facebook tonight and she told me "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels", she is right. I think this will become my mantra on this journey.
So there you have it....a life changing experience begins tomorrow.
P.S. Thanks Brenda for letting me steal your line...even if you did steal it from someone else!
