So, I start this blog as I am over forty, and I am overweight. I have been overweight for a little while now. I have been this way for honestly far too long. In the last year or so I took a very sedentary job, and and when I came home I didn’t move, I believe I have gained over 25 pounds in 2011. It is time to take that off, and loose about 75 more pounds. This is a really difficult thing to do. As I love to cook, I have written a cookbook, and honestly I love food, I love food too much.
Last November, just before Thanksgiving I joined Curves. I have been working out about three times a week for the past six weeks. I am pleased to say that after today, I have lost six pounds. While I don’t think the workouts at Curves are what I would call strenuous, they are good workouts, that do get my heart rate in the target zone. I don’t end up overly sore, and for me, I thought this was a great option to try since I haven’t been working out in a very long, long time.
During the past six weeks I have not maintained a serious diet, I have tried to cut back and didn’t go for any super sizing the combos. I did try to cut back on alcohol. While I love to drink, I don’t think it helps someone’s diet what-so-ever.
Last week I began to order meals from My Fit Foods. I had ordered them awhile back, and they were good. But right now I am on the 21 day My Fit Food Challenge. I can’t complain about it at all. The food is good, and I haven’t been hungry since I started eating those meals.
So hopefully with a web page, I will document what I do, and hopefully I will get the weight off. I hate how my knees creak, I hate that size 18 was getting snug. So join me while I get started.
