Ok, so I have a Yoda and his name is Blake. One of my New Year's Resolutions was to get healthy. My goal is not focused on losing weight (although I am stoked about that) but rather on establishing healthy eating habits and exercising more. I turned to Blake at Fitness Xcellence who has been leading me on this journey of mine. I work out with 11 other awesome ladies and Blake on Mondays and Wednesdays. I keep a food journal and turn it in weekly to Blake who then grades me on my eating. I made an "A-" last week and it is posted in my kitchen because I am so proud of it. Getting an "A-" took a lot of hard work! I have one free day a week where I can eat what I want and boy do I use that! Needless to say Super Bowl Sunday will be my free day! It is great to have the free day because if there is something I am craving, I just wait until my free day and that way I don't feel deprived or like I am missing out on something.
I have really enjoyed my journey thus far. I compare it to graduate school: it isn't easy, there are plenty of times that I just want to quit but I am so proud of myself for sticking with it. It is so importatnt to me because of Anna. I want her to have healthy eating habits and I need to set an example for her.
Dave is going to Blake also except he goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have found it amusing to scare him about the class (the class I take on Monday, he takes on Tuesday and it is the same routine). I tell him "Oh, that class is going to kill you tomorrow" or he complains of being sore and I tell him that he is a wimp. I never said I was a nice girl :) It is great though that we are doing this together, we have been a good support for each other. Of course I am competitive so I always want to do better than him and that motivates me and keeps me focused!
