I think I have always exercised. I can't remember a time when I didn't do some form of exercise... and usually gung ho, balls to the wall, all in. Then I fall out.
I have always battled with my weight. I have a fat head. When I look into the mirror, I see a fat person.
I started crossfit about 8 weeks ago and I love it. It's different every day and the people are so encouraging. I have seen real results as far as my strength goes but it is still like you dipped me in a vat of fat.
Tomorrow, my box (what they call the gym in crossfit) is starting a paleo challenge. Paleo is short for Paleolithic and basically means if we can hunt it, gather it, or pick it we can eat it. Lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts. No dairy, no wine, no creamer, ugh.
I have a partner, Stacie and we gather our points together. There are prizes and a cash reward. But the biggest reward will be seeing results and feeling better.
I have people in my life who are a little less than encouraging. As in... "I just don't agree with diets that have a name. I know you and as soon as it's over, you'll go back to where you are. Just eat chicken and steamed vegetables and don't drink."
Another person who IS encouraging but says rather stupid things... "you just need to lose weight. Stop snacking and just don't eat as much. "
So tomorrow... I start this challenge. I start it for ME. I will prove this to me and I will make the lifestyle change to make it last.
