I love weight loss-related blogs! And I love RSS! Some days, I check my favorites 2-3 times in hopes of news messages, photos and, my absolute favorite, VIDEO. I love seeing video of people in their weight loss/maintenance journey. One of my current faves is Tracy Reifkind. http://tracyrif.blogspot.com/ She has lost over 100 lbs through a modified diet and kettlebell training.
Oh, speaking of kettlebells, I just won my first one on Ebay. Those suckers are pretty pricey. I just won mine for $10. There wasn't any competition unlike most other auctions. This one is shiny and red. I have a couple of DVDs that I purchased first. I hear that you can get a KB from GNC for $10. I'd like to check that out.
I have been journalling my food for the last 5 days which is a new current record. I used to keep my food journal so accurate it was amazing. It also was the reason that I was able to lose 85 pounds in about a year and a half. This time around, I am making no judgement on my food choices quite yet. The funny thing is that I automatically look for healthier alternatives when I know that I am writing it down. I like that...a lot!
I have been studying a lot on nutrition and exercise in desire of creating a lifestyle change that will last. I am a lot more interested in how foods affect overall health and discovering the most effective ways to get fit, shed fat and build muscle. It is such a complicated mess of information but I like reading and APPLYING the information that I am learning. I will probably lean to a 80/20% (healthy/'extras) rule and create my meals around vegetation, cut back on refined products and keep a small amount of animal products in my diet. I have contemplated becoming a vegetarian for about a year now. I will see how my diet evolves through my lifestyle change.
October 16th marks my 30th birthday. In celebration, I have decided to run the San Jose Rock and Roll Half-Marathon on October 14th, 2007. I have never done a road race before. I am excited that I have begun to enlist a team to join me in my training and my race. What a wonderful way to get healthier together and celebrate a new decade.
So, Matt and I officially are exclusive. He was so cute on Sunday. He knows that I am working to release my excess fat. He wanted to make it very clear to me that he "loves" my body as it is and that he would still "love" it if I didn't lose any weight. That gave me such energy to continue my program. To have someone that you care about express his feelings of acceptance to something that you may not totally accept is an awesome feeling. Thank you, Matt!
I will update my blog with training, progress photos and VIDEO!! since I know how fun it is to see a transformation.
