So I was already ready to hit everything hard, when a friend took a picture of me Saturday afternoon and it is…just…not…good. It was so bad it actually depressed me for a day or two, until my usual fight mode kicked in and I realized I can be sad or I can be fighting for improvement. I resolved that April 1st would be it, and it falls on a Monday which sets it all up nicely. So I went to the grocery store yesterday and spent way too much money on healthy food, packed some veggie packs for lunch, and restarted the medication I used to take for Binge Eating Disorder but quit because it stopped working. But taking a break usually makes it start working again and I have just about a month and a half left so I might as well take it for a while and hope it helps me get off to a solid start.

First day was great – everything I ate was healthy, I didn’t succumb to the cheesecake bars my co-worker’s wife made, and I went to the gym and lifted. The only down side was one of my work besties tagged along to the gym – that part was actually great, I enjoy working out with her – but then we ended up chatting until 10pm when I had to rush home to feed the animals. I stopped at Wendy’s on the way home for a bunless double cheeseburger – not unhealthy, but annoying given that I just spent a car payment on groceries. 🙂

So today was shoulders, arms, & back at the gym, tomorrow will be swimming (hopefully, if not I’ll figure out some other cardio), and we are off to the races!
