Day 1 and 2.

I decided that the first day of the "Get Fit" challenge would be the starting point for my weight-loss journey. I planned on having my "last supper" (so-to-speak) and gulping down as many Pepsi's as my body would metabolize (lol), but my agenda was rattled by Evan coming down with a 105 degree fever. I was still able to make it to the first day of the challenge at the gym, and DAMN, my body is sore today! Seriously, I didn't think I was going to be able to drive after that hour, because my legs felt like lead! It was an awesome workout, though. Nonstop, and using only our bodies and 5 lb weights. I tried keeping note of all of the exercises we did so that I could utilize it in the upcoming week. There are only 3 people who signed up for the challenge, and I am, by far, the heaviest person there. It kind of shocked me. Either people are shy, or I am really that overweight. Either way, it didn't deter my motivation. In my head, I got this shit in the bag ;) 1st place in all of the Shapes centers takes home $200, and the person who loses the most inches in our Port Richey gym wins an hour of personal training ($75 value). I'll take it--with 30 pounds missing, as well :)
Anywho, my whole night was jacked up afterwards. My son was so sick that I ended up taking him to the ER and I had a Mountain Dew for fuel. Bad choice, I know. So far today I have been doing pretty well with my diet selections. Had a bagel with fat-free cream cheese (mmm, delish) around 3, and had a rotisserie chicken without the skin and some mac-n-cheese for dinner. I can't help that I am a pasta freak, I just need to learn to incorporate small portions into my diet.
I've decided to start back up on Alli as well. I started taking the pill about 3 months ago, and lost 8 pounds within 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I gave up on it and myself afterwards, gaining all of the lost weight back plus some. This time, I intend on sticking to a low-fat diet, using Alli, and many, many, many days in the gym :) I am a hardcore soda addict, so that will be the hardest adjustment. For now, I am going to limit myself to one a day, and slowly weed it out to only water.
I will do weekly weigh-ins and pictures, as much as I despise the idea of putting pictures of myself out there to everyone. I need to be accountable, and hopefully this blog and the support of others will make me be.
Off to go clean; a work-out isn't in the agenda tonight, as my legs can barely move. Hopefully Evan's fever will subside overnight and I will be able to work out tomorrow! Fingers crossed.
