Trying to be healthy

The last couple of weeks or so I have really got back into working out properly. I was still going to the gym, but I was definitely not putting in as much effort as I could have. But finally I seem to have my gym mojo back.

I finally had the courage to weigh myself as well. In the last year I have put on 2 stone (28 pounds), so I have a bit of work to do. But I am motivated and determined to lose it. I am not going to put too much pressure on myself. I will be happy if I lose half of what I have put on.

Working out in the gym is not a problem, I really enjoy my workout routine. The big problem is my diet. I am used to eating foods that are not that healthy, and I am finding it very hard to keep to a good healthy diet.

Willpower is seriously lacking right now. I think I am just about working off the rubbish I eat everyday which is why I never seem to lose anything. Healthy food really doesn’t interest me at all. I really have to force it down, which is why I am finding it hard to stick to any diet.

I think I need to look at my diet differently, such as making my current meals healthier rather than replacing them completely. This includes eating more vegetables and less potatoes and grilling my food instead of frying it. I will see how that goes for a while and then try to introduce new foods.

My determination is going to help me achieve everything I want! It is going to take some time and it won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

Everything is coming together nicely. I am feeling good, life is good. My family is happy- I could not ask for more. I am even treating myself to a sports massage this evening (although I think it will be more painful than relaxing), and it is nice to be able to treat myself like this now and then.

Take care everyone.
