Everyone who has ever wanted to lose weight or get fit has either marked them as a turning point or craved them without satisfaction. I had a much craved for one this weekend.
Still tying up the loose ends on our dive trip we threw all our gear on and jumped into a friend's pool to test buoyancy and weight ratios considering the new gear and time since our last dive(s). The gear was great and all went well until we stopped by the dive shop to pick up a few items. While there I decided to try on a wetsuit for purchase. I was mortified to find I couldn't fit into anywhere near the size I thought I should be. Sadly, this realization came when I tried on a suit two sizes LARGER than my last dive called for.
Needless to say, I've had no trouble at all upping the anty on my workout efforts and I got A LOT more stringent on the food intake. I'm counting this as a blessing. It was much like being kicked i the head and it was a much needed and long overdue blow. Monday logged a good run (in too hot weather) followed by mowing the lawn (sue me, that counts as a work out.=). Tonight, an hour long bike ride (in a higher than average gear) followed by toning work. Back to the tight eating rules. My latte's must be on the forbidden list until further notice and no carbs after noon either! This includes the fact that my "accepted carb" list got extremely short. Sadly, I only truly enjoy crappy carbs :(.
I have been dribbling weight off but my efforts have been lackadaisical at best. Monday coming is the first REAL weigh in and its time to TRY like I mean it. Not JUST fitness, but WEIGHT LOSS TOO!! Damn it man did that ever suck!!! I REFUSE to buy a wetsuit that size unless I plan to sleep in to lose water weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
