Transform!

I was selected to be part of a new group at our fitness center at work called Transform.  It's the first time it's been offered and I'm really excited to be part of it.
We meet twice a week for workouts and nutrition and, gulp, weigh-ins and body measurements.
I have big hopes for the next 6 months.  The support system and weekly weigh ins is going to help me stay on track.
Our homework for this week is about goal setting which is essential if you want to have success.

I have an interview today at 9 am.  I've been wearing my jeans for the past 2 weeks because it's the only thing that fits me right now.  I had to go shopping yesterday and now I'm squeezed into a pair of size 16 pants and an XL top.  As if I needed another reason to get in shape!
Rewarding myself with a super long cardio workout this afternoon.

Here we go... take 2

So a week ago I was on track for starting my new lifestyle, of getting strong and fit and healthy.  I was going to stop the endless talk about doing it and just START!
That hasn't happened.  I'm more aware of what I'm eating but I don't think I've made any changes to support my goal.
Hmmm...
This is how it begins.  This is how it's always begun.  Good intentions pushed aside for old habits. 

I'm going to enroll in a Healthy U Transformation program at work. The first meeting is tomorrow.  I think  I'm waiting for that before I do anything.

A few things I've noticed-  I want someone to tell me what to do, to eliminate the guesswork but when that happens I find myself rebelling.

During this next 6 months I expect change, not miracles.  I want to lose weight, not be at the end goal.
I want to stop thinking of this process as having an 'end' to it.  There is no finish line or if there is, it keeps moving to a different place.

Packed a good lunch today.  Eating well so far. Trying to drink all my water and tea.  I'll get there!

I'll post my progess- pix ,weight, the good, the bad and the ugly. 

6 months.  I can do it.
