Dear New Year's Resolution Gym Go-er's,
I understand the want to be healthy & in shape. I'm not going to say "thin" because most of us are not going to be thin, for various reasons. Most of you will give up after a few months, slip back into old habits and have to keep paying on your 1 year gym subscription. And yes I too have been there. But in the mean while, please clean off the gym equipment after you are done using it. No one wants to sit or touch your sweat or your germs. I always wipe down the machines before & after I use them, but still, please be courteous to others and wipe down the machines! Its rude & unsanitary not to. (example: you can get a staph infection from using dirty gym equipment, etc)
On a happier note: While I was out in Lancaster PA yesterday I bought a new book, "The Biggest Loser's 30 Day Jump-Start". I have no problem with exercise, I can kick my butt into gear in the gym with no problems. I just need help with food. I tend to not eat enough calories for the day, and only eat 3 meals (no snacks). Most nutritionists, doctors, etc will recommend that you eat 2 snacks (healthy ones.. not a bag of chips). But this book gives you a months worth of daily meal plans (with recipes), which some days I will repeat because the meals make way more than needed & to help save on groceries. And of course freeze the rest for days that we are so busy we forget to plan ahead so we are still eating healthy.
On a not so happy note: I found out the other day that I have to get a shot in my lower lumbar for a herniated disk. What fun. Its either that or surgery... and there is no way I'm doing that. So I hope that this works. There is a 3 out of 4 chance that this will help. This injury has slowed my pace down for 2 months now, I really want to push myself in the gym. Can't wait until this gets better.
That is everything for now, I'll write more again soon.
Thanks for reading!
