The first official workout!

It was going to be on Monday, but I changed it because I knew that next weekend I wouldn't be able to do it because of Mom being here. (But I'm still going to work out on Monday and Wednesday

I feel exactly the same way. I look at the calories on something and equate it to how long I have to use that goddamned step machine to get rid of it, and decide that I don't need it after all.

You might find you are less hungry too. I did.

[dove95]

Heh! If I ever get to that, I'll drive myself crazy! hehe

The less hungry thing is totally happening now.

How long have you been at it? You see any change?

[coeur_de_noir]

Hell yeah!

I'm into my third week, I've lost 3+ kilos, feel more energetic and I've lost cms off my waist, thighs, hips, arms and back. I'm definitely stronger and don't get puffed as easy.

I'm on a pretty strict diet though - no sodas, no alcohol, no chocolate or junk food, limited good carbs, lots and lots of fruit and veg. That goes for 12 weeks - kind of a kick start challenge where my goal is to lose a minimum of 1/2 kilo per week - and then I can relax it a bit. I'm missing the alcohol like crazy, but my consolation is at the end of it I should be a much cheaper drunk, lol.

I'm finding it good to take a multivitamen too - it definitely helps with recovery time.

Don't mind me, I'm totally obsessed at the moment.

I have GOT to start working out again on a more serious basis. been a pain with some issues lately. :S

Changing your eating habits honestly isn't as hard as it seems, but one of the things I've noticed is to not go into it with dread. I know for me, it's easier if I make an unconscious decision to quit something, or change my lifestyle, rather than to always think about it.

Then again, when it does come up, and I think a lot about it, then I stop.

My dance teacher is a health nut, but man can he move. :)

I know I already told you this, but to me it's just about what doing makes sense. If I feel like splurging a bit, I'll do it on days I'm not working out.

I'm trying to be healthier too...I'm doing the weight watchers point system again. I wasn't that good this past week, but today marks the beginning of a new diet week for me! Good luck!

[dove95]

Good luck to you too! I'd never do calorie counting or weight watcher stuff. I'm too lazy to count. Half the time, I'm lucky I remember to see how much I'm lifting hehe...

Okay apparently I have a one-track mind because at first I thought you said you were going to the store to buy some food that would be a good way to start eating BUTTER. :)

[dove95]

That sentence is worded a bit funny :)
