I will have a beach body - Day 6
I woke up this mornign 6oz lighter...yippee. Due to the itchy, fat foot no workout but we did take a long walk to the college near our house to visit the farmers market. good excuse to get some exercise, buy veggies for my new healthy eating and support the local economy. Of course walking with nature loving Keeva,it wasn't a high speed burn fat walk but it was up hill so that made up for it. I must be doing something right though the numbers on the scales are getting lower!!
The best news is though Joe has decided to join me.....not in losing weight but in getting fit and healthy. He has joined the gym at work (real nice proogram) and I made the decision to go back on a eating plan that we both have used in the passed. It not a diet as such it's an eating plan. It's something I wanted to do since having surgery after Dillon was born as the surgeon saw some crazy things inside and told me I really needed to do something to keep my digestive system moving or I could have major problems down the road. It was hard to do though when you still have to cook regular for the other half. It's called fit for life and was a craze in the early 90's. Joe with an ex-girlfriend followed the plan and when I met him he always talked about it. Any photos I've seen of him then show him glowing with health and, Michelle (his ex girlfriend) looked and always has looked fabulous. I tried it in 2002 for health reasons and I never felt better: my eyes shone, my skin glowed and my energy level was huge. You don't have to cut out any foods it's essentially just about how you combine your food. You eat fruit first in the morning, don't eat anything for 30 mins after eaing fruit (so that it can get digested properly and move through your system) then don't mix proteins and starchy carbohydtrates. Quite simple really. So as Joe put we we are having a "Mid Life Renaissance"
We started today. I had fruit for breakfast. A fruit snack. Salad with egg for lunch. Pastry snack and Lemon Dill Flounder, with garlic brocolli for dinner and a bowl of rainier cherries for desert later in the evening.
It felt really good to have made this decision together. I just hope we can stick it out and make some real changes for health and happiness.
