I know, I know...

So, remember those many many moons ago when I said I was going to start a fitness blog about my journey to get healthy? Yeah, I barely remember either. Actually, that's a lie. I've been thinking of nothing about the blog and how I should update. So here it goes:

It took me about a month after that initial blog post to actually get off my booty and get to the gym. I started going to the gym when I was sent out of town for training for 6 loooong weeks. The first 3 weeks, I was a major lazy ass, going out to eat on my company's dime and loafing in my hotel room after. The second 3 weeks I got wise. What was I going to look like when I went back to my office?? I started working out to off-set all the restaurant dining I was doing. That helped considerably! I can just imagine all the sodium and preservatives I was eating.

I also began to eat a lot of fish and greens. It would fill me up and kept me feeling light, not bloated. When I got back from training, I kept up going to the gym and was counting my calories using myFitnessPal.com. It is a lifesaver!

I lost about 5 pounds and was feeling great and people were noticing and complimenting me! Hearing all those kudos helped me get my booty to the gym!! And then...
I lost all motivation. It's since been 1.5 weeks and I haven't been to the gym. I keep telling myself "Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow..." But you know what? Tomorrow is today and I'm going to pick it up again. It's now or never. And this time, I vow to keep you updated. :-)
