Ok, so many of you will completely agree with the title of this blog.
This blog is intended to be a weight loss journal for anyone who cares to read.
I have been struggling with my weight for most of my life, and for the past 18 months I have been working on my mental health and feel that I am in a spot where I am ready to start making changes. I have found out a lot about who I am, what I want to be and what I have been through.
Just this week I started working out with my old personal trainer Olo Onuma. He has kicked my ass around the gym once this week, and tomorrow he will be doing it again. To think, I pay him to do that!
Olo is also promoting the ViSalus products as nutritional suppliments/meal replacements to augment the workouts. He gave me some samples of it to try out, and I have to say they are not that bad. My biggest issue with them is that I feel I am not getting enough calories in with just doing 2 shakes per day plus some small snacks and a real supper.
I am strongly thinking of doing the 90 day Body By Vi challenge to see what it can do for me. I am not interested in getting involved in selling the ViSalus products, just using them to see how it works.
I am using MyFitnessPal on my tech gadgets to track my calories. I may not track everything every day, but most days I hope to track it.
Today I swam for 60 minutes at the pool at my gym. I am not sure how far it was distance wise, but it is somewhere between 1.25 and 1.5 miles. I did not count laps, just started a timer and checked it every now and again and stopped when it hit 60 minutes. I was quite sore and cramped up a bit as I had a hard workout with Olo yesterday, but I stretched as needed and pushed through the workout to finish strong.
Check back in from time to time to see how things are progressing.
As of right now, I am not a loser, but hopefully in a few days I will be a loser!
I will keep a ticker that shows my progress from MyFitnessPal:
