I joined the local gym - they happened to be having an open house…first month free (membership is 34 buck a month)

It’s an unstaffed fitness center that’s accessible 24/7.  I punch in my PIN at the door and get going!

I’d been flirting with the idea for some time now… and now i finally took that step!

HAH!  Now i can do full-fleged squats and so forth!  I am psyched!! =D  Going to go there right after i finish eating…it’s only 5 miles away and it’s perfectly on the way to/from my way to work.    

We all know avoidance of sugar is a major key to burning away the fat…

How many of you watched a recent nightly news edition regarding sweeteners? 

It’s confirmation that sugar substitiutes are just as bad as hyrogenated fats…a recent study (Perdue University) reveals that consuming diet sodas and other things using sugar substitues cause an increase in weight rather than the opposite.

Watch out!

So i know we’re not rats, but just the same…i for one stay away from eating or drinking crap that isn’t natural.  I used to do that, and well, you see where it’s gotten me…

(F the crap pushers!!!)

 ;)

So protein days are not fun…i feel like i took a handful of cold medicine or something…all foggy in the head!  So i will be sure to limit my protein days to those days when i don’t need to work!  At least until i get used to them.

I do just this one protein day…then next week i’ll try 1 and a half.  Following that, 2 days. It’s about practicing for my fat liberation week which begins in 3 more weeks.  I’m getting psyched…!

I anticipate 9 weeks from now.  Not that i am wishing away precious time or anything…it’s tough visualizing my svelt-self.  Literally because visualizing even an orange in technicolor is not my forte.  Feelings and words seem to affect me the most:  That’s why i’ve come up with a ‘photoshopped’ concept of what is to be.

How long it takes me to get there is directly proportional to the fervor with which i approach the fitness aspect of my life.

Despite the curve balls thrown in between dropping off kiddo at school, working, prepping dinner, reviewing schoolwork. I have been going at it.  And i know it is simply a matter of time.

But how much time?  I wish I knew the answer.  I haven’t been at or below 20% bodyfat since i was 14 years old:  I will try to be realistic and technical about my WAG (wild a– guess). 

Being that it’s taken at least 3 years for me to accumulate the sizeable stash of lipid energy that i currently carry on, it’s a matter of more calories out than in.  Ok, if i were to burn at least 1 to 2lbs of fat per week, it would theoretically take between 14 and 28 weeks to have incinerated that much in fat cell stores. 

Considering:

1)I’ve been eating nothing but what’s good for me (including those "you can cheat" days) for the last 38 out of 45 days, and

2) So far bodyspace bloggers affirm that i have been making decent progress, and

3) My jeans are starting to fall past my hips[!]

These things weighed, leave me with a WAG in line with my Memorial Day goal.  Still wish i could ’see’ it in my mind’s eye.  Guess for now i’ll print out and pin up a few copies of the obviously doctored photo of me head atop a muscular work of human art and smile…

=D

Holy shit it’s hard to not wanna go workout today…

Out of obligation i feel i need to eat a couple pieces of the Whitman’s chocolate i received for Xmas…obligation i tell you!!! 

As soon as that box is gone (probably be April or May b4 it’s gone, maybe the family will eat it up…)  That’s IT.  No more of that crap in my presence. 

All i eat anymore is healthy food. The only reason i am presented with crappy options are because my family wants pizza, sausages, hotdogs and hamburgers, mac and cheese.  Either they eat what i fix or i wind up having to cook two separate entrees. It sucks; but, i do what i gotta do. 

To add to that, I’m not tellin my friends and aquaintences about what i’m doing either…it’s just a friggin lonely road…i so hope that they catch on ten weeks from now when i go from wide to whoa!
