"Today is the first day of the rest of your life..."
I actually really hate this saying...I am not a big fan of stating the obvious. As a primary school teacher, other than parental expectation that you parent their child, requiring you to teach their children all of the values that parents USED to teach their children, this is something I find myself doing because let's face it, young children need the obvious stated over and over in order for it to become a habit. "Mrs Jackson, it's math hour. Do we need our math books?" D'uuuhhhh.
Anyway, today is the day I start for what is probably the milionth time, a diet and excercise program in order to improve my health and fitness. I was appalled to step on the scale today to see I have gained 10 kilos in the past 18 months. I knew the weight was creeping back up on me but I didn't like to see the scale tick over another ten kilos...130.3 kilograms...yikes.
By all accounts I have been overweight for years, and topped the scale a couple years ago at 139.9 kilos. Swore I'd never hit 130 again when I lost that first 10 kilos...oh well, best intentions. Today is the day I start back at it...and how do I choose to do this...healthy eating and excercise...and not just any excercise...a freaking boot camp!!!! Yep you heard me...body punishing fitness in a park with a group of fit excercise nazis...I can only pray that the instructor's promise to 'take care of' me," means that he'll help me out when it gets tough and help me through when my mind is telling me I can't do it...not MUWAHAHAHA, I'm going to punish you and make you go until you puke. Either way, Neisha will be there by my side, likely making me laugh until I puke, so I guess as long as the food intake is going outwards it can only be positive (please note I am not advocating puking as a way of losing weight in any way shape or form.)
So anyway, I have just eaten a bagel and a cup of unsweetened tea (not enjoying this already) and am going to grab a banana on the way out the door and I look towards this evening with anticipation and excitement, and a healthy dose (I hope) of "deer in the headlights" fear.
Have a great day!
