So, hows it going?



OK, so hopefully you read my last blog and you know that I have finally gotten on the right path for FINALLY getting back in shape. Maybe you're curious on how that's going. I am excited to tell you that I am still going strong. The weight varies day to day, week to week....but on the whole, my fat is melting away and being replaced by much more attractive muscle. 

What's the secret? A few things... 
1) three times a week I have to meet my hard-ass trainer, Craig and I know that I have that commitment every Mon, Wed and Fri at 6:00 am

2) Craig makes me keep a food diary...so what's the point of that...again accountability. I know every time I come in, someone else is going to have total visibility to what I am eating...and he doesn't like excuses

3) I have cut out 99% of the carbs and almost all the sugars... taking in fruits, vegetables and proteins (meats, etc).

Now, don't get me wrong! Craig is tough on me. Just Wednesday, he had me out in the parking lot pushing a big tub of weights around the parking lot as I ran behind it to push it across the parking lot... FOUR times back and forth. But, he is a great trainer because he knows just how far to push. Sometimes pushing me when I didn't think I had any more to give, but never pushing me over the edge. 

Good trainers are hard to come by and I would highly recommend Custom Fit. 

I haven't been near as disciplined at keeping up this site...but please check back to see how life is progressing (including but not limited to my new found attempts at getting in shape)
