It's weird to think that a major life change begins on Monday! I am a fairly healthy person and on average I exercise a couple of times a week. The reason I signed up for this program, however, is that I feel like I keep hitting a wall in the area of health and fitness. I will be very proactive about working out for a couple of weeks, and then go several weeks without doing much of anything. Or I will eat healthy and enjoy moderate portion sizes, and then I will fall out of that rhythm until guilt sets in. I also feel as though I will work hard either in the area of nutrition or fitness (rarely do I focus on them at the same time), and then I'll reach a point where I am almost satisfied with how I look and feel. Then I start to backslide instead of working harder to lose that last six to ten pounds.
I'm super pumped for Fall Shape Up to be that extra motivation I need to go the extra mile (literally) for great fitness! I'm excited to share the process with you blog readers out there as well :)
I had my first assessment today and it went well. I was really nervous showing up because I didn't know what to expect. It was intimidating wondering if there would be one thousand other people in the room watching while I stepped on the scale. But then again, I guess this blog is a little bit like a thousand people watching our whole "get in shape" processes. I'm nervous about this whole thing, but my excitement is weighing out my nervousness. We'll see how I feel on Monday after the first work-out!
I'm not someone who would qualify for Biggest Loser or other extreme fitness programs out there. So I think this will be a great experiment in what happens to a pretty normal person who makes a big change.
