Hi all, well its been 2wks since my last blog, and for me it's just flown by.
Week 4 was uneventful except for the Wednesday night’s meeting at "Market on Millstream.”
Thank you to Christen & Erin for the training session on reading labels properly and what to stay away from [ if I can] . I've come to the conclusion that if it's in a box, bag or bottle, it's not for me. I was told at the beginning of this that the diet would be more challenging than the exercise...... they were right!!
I find that I obsess with what my daily meals are going to be and most important what they are "NOT going to be." It is a huge life change for anyone that has been wired for so long to look at things one way and then in my case to do a 180 degree change. But I know I'm not alone and I know it's not going to change overnight, patience and walking have become my best friends lately. Knowing the "Serenity Prayer " has helped as well.
As far as my week with "Freddy".....the love is hanging in there. Lots of weights, the back is just getting better every day, last day of the week was boxing day. What a workout that is! I've also learned [as did james] that I "CANNOT" skip rope. Just one of those things mother nature decided I did not need to be able to do on this planet, so be it.
Week 5:
James and I have come to realize that my shoulders are slowly wearing out from all the weights, so he's adjusted things to compensate for some of my issues. Too many years of working overhead, too many ice hockey games and probably too many wobbly pop disagreements at the pub. But what the heck that's what life is all about, doing as much dumb stuff to your body so that when your older you got something to complain about. Ha! ha! ALL’s good.
Monday "Freddy" says we're starting a whole new program, he says with a horrifying grin. Think I'm going to bring a barf bag with me. wish me luck. And luck and good food choices to all you out there .
All the best,
Kev
