For the love of food...

The other day, i was leaving the gym in a lot of pain...and i walked by the pastry shop on the way back...and i sighed...i LOVE food...its not about binging and all of that...i really do enjoy good food!..And not being blessed with the best genes on this planet translates into my weight issues.

At work, I'm surrounded by women who are pretty close to the ideal weight...some are at a weight i have not got down to in years! I have had spells in which i hit the gym and hit it hard, and dropped a substantial amount of weight. But no matter how much i lost, it was never enough. I was always the big chick!

I decided that it was time to start dropping the weight because physically i do nott feel too good about myself. This time, i want to make it balanced. Whats hard for me is eating at work. Im normally limited to sandwiches or salads. And i would rather have a proper meal instead of that. There are loads of diet options. But I dont think something that is frozen and has 600 calories is necessarily healthy!and it tastes like crap!! Then there are those places where the portion size is miserable!..How is an individual supposed to operate without enough energy?
The only great option for me right now is Subways...coz i get to eliminate most of the dough in the bread.

I have been going to the gym for the past month...put in an hour of cardio....alternating between the thread mill and elliptical for exactly an hour...i prefer the elliptical...increase the incline everytime it feels too easy!

Im going home on my 3 week vacation soon, so its going to be hard to exercise. I really want to get rid of the weight, so im going to have to cut down on my portion size.

I intend on pushing myself for the rest of the month...and then getting back into the grind once i return from my break!

My regime is going to be eat right...make breakfast my main meal, limit myself to subways for lunch and dinner cutoff time is 7pm. Add to that at least 2 hours of cardio 6 times a week.

Its time to get healthy....This is really what i want...
