Had a trial run, real marathon starts tomorrow.

Ok, last post I talked about the Two Week Total Turnaround.

I am going to actually START this program tomorrow. In full force. The last couple of weeks has been what I call "practice."

Why? Holiday aside, the mail is friggin' slow. I didn't get all my components for my exercise program until yesterday. And no, I wasn't using it as an excuse to not exercise.

I would ride my bike for cardio, and also do Jillian's 30 Day Shred DVD, and I did the Cardio portion of The Total Turnaround a couple of times before getting all my ducks in a row.

I have also been practicing eating the way trainer Chris F. suggests in the book, and it is a little more difficult than I thought.

The reason ... processed food. I have to get rid of it. ALL of  it out of my house. I can't afford to have it in there. This includes healthy stuff ... like granola bars, those Weight Watchers snacks they say you can not live without ... even frozen treats.

All gotta go. So what did I do with them?

Ate em.

I still have a problem with snacking at night. Or when I get tired/stressed in the evenings I didn't exercise I eat in front of the television. And then get up and get "another" snack. Oh, wait, and another. Gotta get rid of all this processed food, you know.

So what's this girl gonna do now? Going to the farmer's co-op and getting some veggies today after work. Then go home and do my sculpt routine (I did a 30-minute cardio this morning) and make sure my house is supplied tonight with string cheese, veggies, light bread, peanut butter and some mixed nut packets. (Need some for the "fat" content the book describes, that I talked about last time.) I also need tuna packets, oranges and apples, as well as bananas.

The only frozen treat I will buy over the next couple of weeks are sugar-free popsicles. Those helped me the past couple of weeks ... until I ran out, that is.

That's my biggest problem. Letting the food run out and not restocking and letting my bad habits come back. Hubby is going out of town next week. That should be helpful. One  less distraction at home always is.
