I'm not sure about you guys but my workout resolution is going quite well. I'm in the gym at least 5 days a week, devoting a minimum of one hour each time. I'm using more free weights and experimenting with new exercises. I even bust my butt on the elliptical today. I do have one problem though....my diet. I love a good workout, a two hour sweat session where my hair is soaked, my clothes are soaked and I can barely stand up straight in the shower afterwards. I also love a two hour food fest. And there goes my workout. Here's the problem though. It's the quality of the food I eat that is the biggest problem. I am addicted to these pudge free all natural brownies. Somehow all natural made me think it was OK. I also am addicted to these all natural jumbo low calorie muffins. Bread. I love it. I could subsist on bread alone. So this week I am cutting out bread. I am not cutting out carbs, just bread. I will still eat some pasta, but I'll be putting my peanut butter on a banana or apple instead of toast. I am hoping that I will be toting around a less puffy, Pillsbury dough boyish version of myself next week.
Is your workout resolution going well but the diet not so much? Remember baby steps. Challenge yourself to cut out bread for just a week and see how you feel. Don't tell yourself you can never eat bread again, just do a week trial. Maybe at the end of the week you will go forward by refusing the bread basket at a restaurant but allowing whole wheat toast at breakfast. This is what I am hoping will happen to me. I'll learn the difference between good and bad and choose accordingly. I will slip up at some point, everyone does. Then we try again.
