walkin on the moon
Lately steppin off the treadmill feels like i'm walkin on the moon.
About two months ago I began a new quest, eat right + workout = feel better. I started on the eat right stuff first and actually I've done a pretty good job in eating right for awhile. The physical part was next. I had a stress test, bloodwork, and the results were great - i'm as healthy as an ox, just need to slice off a bit of the ox and I'm good to go.
Two weeks ago I joined McConnell a health and fitness center here in town and got my self in a good program with excersise physicians and docs to help guide me. So far I have to say I really like it. The work is tough and ya I can feel the pain, but afterwards I have to say its a bit of high or something. I've used approx 1% of the centers abilities thus far. All the machines, classes etc.. are a bit daunting. Once I get in groove here I want to try yoga and tai chi.
Getting fit however isn't cheap. Heh.. its gonna be costly but its all good. I've weened myself off cola's and caffinee almost completely... dealing with those caffinee headaches at first were pretty ouchie but its good. I miss my redbull though.
I've eaten so healthy lately its kinda surreal.. I never thought i'd be in the grocery store reading the backs of packages as intently as I do now. Luckily most of the real healthy stuff I love taste wise so I'm good to go there.. until of course I get sick of them maybe... Hmmmm. I find it funny that most nutritionists, well the ones I've met so far in the program plus folks I see on tv, seem to rely heavily on the "eat as many colors as possible" line. Its not about eating just this or that, its about experimenting it seems like. Keeping yer body filled with variation, and colors!
I keep a food and excersise log now too. Two weeks into that and I'm already thinking about ways to speed up this proccess of counting, logging and documenting all this better. Maybe barcode all my goodies.. lol. I wish my sidekick could heart monitor, that'd be a nice feature.
