Sooo….
I am a perpetual dieter. I have dieted my entire life. I am not exaggerating. My first diet was in 5th grade. And yet here I am about to enter into my 49th year of life and I still can’t get it right.
I saw this sign at my gym and ignored it like everyone else does. I continued to ignore it until a trainer I had met with along my fitness expedition accosted me on the stair master..
“Still doing your wok out from 1987?” she said to me. I knew her scare tactic. I wasn’t budging. I was sticking with that stair master for one hour. Although I am now officially the fattest I have been since I had kids I was sticking with this workout. Yes, I looked like a stuffed sausage and my work out pants were uncomfortably tight…I was sticking with this.
“I cannot afford you” I told her. Although I would love to spend another $130.00 an hour on myself and yes deserved it, blah blah blah unless I had money for a divorce attorney as well I wasn’t hiring her.
“Do the 90 day Challenge, its $30.00 to sign up you get a health coach, free classes on Tuesdays and they weight you in. she also suggested I do her group fitness class 3 days a week for $199.00 a month this way I am getting in 4 workouts with a trainer for a fraction of the price of hiring her privately.
I had a momentary lapse in judgement and agreed to all of it. Its like I had some weird out of body experience thinking I would do all this. I envisioned myself on that billboard as a success story, Yay me…then reality set in.
Oh good God why am I agreeing to this? I really cannot answer to someone else at this point. Another person to be committed to? So now I am sitting here. Dreading this freaking weigh in. I have an hour and a half until I have to get on that damn scale. I am planning on getting on backward so I don’t have to really face the music. Unfortunately I am so seasoned even backward I will know by the click on the scale which way it is headed.
So with all that being said I figured maybe by writing about this on here I will have some accountability. Although the only people who read this may be my mother and my friend Jodi, on the off chance someone else gets a hold of it maybe I can inspire them.
So here it is my official start of my 90 Day Challenge. I will be blogging about what is involved and my progress or regress…Stay tuned!
