Making a Change
I can't believe that I haven’t written on this Blog for over a year. That is very bad of me. This last year my body has changed a lot. Wow, that really sounds like a teenager going through puberty. First I should give y’all an update on last year’s bet. I lost. I had to wear the morph suit and yes I will try and post pictures of the different things I had to do, but I was able to join the military. After the bet I’m sad to say I got lazy and put some of the weight back on. I was around 235 lbs when I swore in to the Oregon Army National Guard. I went to Basic Combat training in February and lost around 40 lbs. I was feeling really good about myself when I returned in July.
Once again the boogeyman is back and I have put on 15 lbs and it’s time to get serious. I have thus started this blog once again with a renewed vigor to make the new healthy lifestyle a permanent change in my life. I am taking the Advocare 24 day challenge. In the spirit of full disclosure I am a distributor for Advocare, so I will be post links so that you can try these products as well. I will be posting the products that I use, the food that I eat, and the exercise that I do.
Now, I know some of you are probably thinking that I am just doing this to get you to buy products from me and I would be lying if that weren't true, but this morning I was woken up by a knock at the door. It was the FedEx guy dropping off my order of Advocare products. I was slightly annoyed, as I had just fallen asleep and I don’t get much sleep as it is, so I decided to sit down and unwind. I saw a plate of cookies and decided to have a couple. Long story short 25 minutes later I was looking at an empty plate and hating myself. As I thought “I hate myself for doing that!” I realized that I am addicted to food. I eat when I’m bored. I eat when I’m tired. I eat when I’m frustrated or depressed, or angry. I recognize and admit that I have a problem. Most addicts can abstain for a time, or in my case eat sensibly for a time but when circumstance allow freedom they, I, revert to old habits. This time I need to change for good. This time it needs to become part of my life and not just a “diet”. Like any addiction recovery program, it’s worked one day at a time. So, coming soon you will be seeing daily posts about how I am changing my focus from food to fit.
