The 2010 Get Fit Thread!

I worked out twice this week and joined a health club...big big step for me...hopefully I will follow through.

Had to bump this as I have discovered today that I fit into a lot more of my clothes now! I've adjusted my diet and am eating less carbs and more veggies and I have increased the amount of time I spend walking.

I feel a lot healthier. What a difference a few small changes make!

It's two days after Christmas, and I have eaten so much rich food, I feel like a Weeble! (roly poly and wider at the bottom than the top) It's not just sweets, it's mashed potatoes made with cream, noodle casserole, broccoli with cheese ... I could go on and on. It's been like a total 3-day food binge.

I have to lose enough weight to fit into my good dresses for my nephew's and my oldest niece's weddings (June and October 2011, respectively). Time to switch back to smaller portions, drinking more water, whole grain bread and pasta, and plainly cooked vegetables. Not as delicious as what I've been eating the past few days, but better in the long run. The hospital cafeteria is also offering more low-sodium and whole grain options.

The other part of this is... the parking lot I'm assigned to is located directly at the opposite end of campus from my department is. It's not quite 1/2 mile walk. I can walk it but I have to stop and rest once or twice. I need to stop using the campus shuttle and start walking. It's mostly indoors.
