Preparation

Today is preparation day for my journey to being and staying fit. This will be my 4th attempt at Insanity and I am feeling that this time will be THE TIME that I will complete it. The most I have ever fully completed was three weeks, which is pretty sad if you think about it.

Though, this program requires a great deal of willpower, the results that I have seen are undeniable.

This time around, I have no one willing to go up the steep exercise slope with me. So I am relying on my own determination and motivation to succeed. My hopes in creating this blog are to help myself stay motivated and use this blog to keep me accountable.

Typically Insanity begins on Mondays, but I was not in the mindset of it yesterday to begin. I will go this week off by one day AND will not rest on Sunday so that I am on point with the Insanity calendar come next Monday. I want to keep this as simple as I can for myself so that I will have absolutely NO EXCUSES

My week one mantra is: Eat right and get it tight.

I've tried here to come up with a game plan for cutting back on some of the yummy things I enjoy and do weekly. I know these things are doing no good for my body or state of mind.

Foody goals:

• Little/ to no processed foods, eat more from the earth
• No eating out, eat before if going out
• Figure in alcohol drinks in to cals
• Always always always log calorie intake
• Moderation is key
• Prepare foods Sundays for work week, if possible!

First months weekly goals:

• No sugar (first wk, except special occasions)
• No coffee (second wk)
• No alcohol (third wk)
• Cut out grains all together (fourth wk)

I am my only enemy in this endeavor and "I am far too smart to be the only thing standing in my way" (J. Freeman)

So here's to a first day towards achieving my insane results.
