I've spent the last 2 days planning, and now I have two days to implement and get everything in place for October 27, which is when I offically start this whole shebang.
I've got a membership to the YMCA. I'd love to say this is new for this reason, but it's more a sign I realized this was coming as I picked it up about 3 weeks ago. Coincidentally enough, it was about the time I decided to stop avoiding the Doctors office and face the music. I got my bloodwork done about a week later.
It's currently underutilized, I get to the gym about once a week for a half hour of imitating a hampster on the treadmill. That's one of the things thats going to change. I need to make time for the gym a bare minimum of three days a week, and closer to five or six days a week.
It'll still be a half hour on the treadmill for now, and I admit I don't go very fast or very far. Thirty minutes at between 2.5 and 3mph right now.
The first goal is a full half hour no slower than 3mph. When I can reach that and it doesn't make me want to vomit or die, I'll start adding other excersizes.
The next step is joining weight watchers. I think this time I'll try the online version (www.weightwatchers.ca). While I like the face to face for the 'accountability' of having another person seeing my scale numbers each week, I never could stand the meetings and the cheerleader 'rah rah rah' attitude that went with them. I'm sure they're exactly what some people need, but they automatically set my cynisism button to 11.
The online version of the program gets you the same program, but no face to face meetings with anyone. I'll use this blog as a substitute for eyes on the numbers of the weekly weigh in, and it's cheaper at $22 for a month as opposed to $12 a week.
The other thing I'm hoping to use this blog for is collecting my favorite recipes. I'm going to have to make some fairly drastic changes to my food intake, and having a collection of recipes I've tested and actually like will help with that alot.
T minus 3 days.
