Vitalize Your Life

Today was our first class of the Vitalize your life class, change, experience, or challenge what ever you want to call it. It was great. I am so exited to be part of this. Natures Gardens is sponsoring this whole thing.
So my goal for it is to loose the weight. I have an overall goal of 50 lbs. I want to also make sure that I can run in 5k in the spring with my associate Lisa. I am so pumped up I can't stand it!!!
So they had us write down somethings we want to add to our lifestyle that will better us. So when we went over the points of living a healthy lifestyle, I was so proud to find that I had all but 4 or 5 of them not checked off. There were about 20. So I am doing pretty darn good I guess. Now it just needs to show. I am one of those people who have been on so many diet roller coasters and gained and lost so much that my body is all confused....I think. I just have these fat cells that love to be fat. and when I go on a diet and cut calories, I think they freak out and hold on for dear life.
So I must exercise to see any type of progress. There fore this is my main goal. I have do my "Slim in Six" work out at least every other day. I just have to. So each day I must get up by 5:30 am to do my work out.
I also vowed to "add" the energy drink that they recommended. It's really yummy!!
I am pretty much a vegetarian for the most part. I have not had meat for about month now. ( I had some chicken at the Olive Garden about two weeks ago and wished I hadn't) I still have a little cheese here and there, but for the most part I am vegetarian, I am so proud of myself!!!I still do have bread though. But only about 2-3 servings per day. I have grains too, like rice, quinoa, and cous cous...yum yum. I have the noodles occasionally. My favorite thing right now is Hummus!!! I so love it!!! I love hummus sandwiches, hummus, veganaise, and lettuce, onion and sea salt! Best ever. I like to put lots of veggies on it too!!! yum yum!!
My next post will be my before picture and my group picture of our group who is doing the program.
