Fitness Challenge

So... I was on a very strict diet last year about this time and for 6 months straight I did so well. I lost 50 lbs and was taken off my diabetes medication... then the winter hit!! OH GOODNESS... I hate holidays... I forget all about diets and healthy living. I do blame it on the holidays because everyone bakes and gives presents of FOOD!! I hate denying presents and especially if it is CHEESECAKE!!

Well I've gained about 25 lbs back and I wanted to cry! I could feel my body changing again and becoming lazy and not wanting to do anything... That all stopped last week when I decided to go to the complex gym and just jump on a machine and sweat... I figured... "This isn't that hard... find some dedication and discipline and get it done Adeile!"

SO for the past 10 days I have been FAITHFULLY working out... I like my schedule. I go to work and right after work I drive to our complex's gym and put in a good 1hr or more work out. I want to shed weight so I know cardio will be the fastest way for now... but I have to do it in increments. I have been running/walking 3 miles on the eliptical at an incline and doing a few weights here and there. I have also joined the 60 day squat challenge... which was hard at first but now its getting better. Today is day 11 and its 110 squats... I think I'm going to add a weight to my squats. I feel really good after my work outs, but my hunger for crap food is still there.

I am going to have a salad from here on out for dinner. MEAT and salad... I need to. This is ridiculous. I know how to lose the weight I'm just lazy, but that will stop and now I will try to get my healthy life back in order. 

So hopefully in 20 days I will be back and talking about how I lost atleast 10 of the 25 I gained back. i would be extremely excited if that happened!! I just need to lost 10 lbs to actually feel better about my laziness and hopefully that will motivate me to lost 15 more! Okie dokie until next time...
