After spending a few days with someone who is as dedicated to eating healthy and exercising as I am to eating ice cream and sleeping 9 hours a night I've decided that I need to make some changes in my life. I am now part of a little "get fit" thing, and I'm not quite sure what I have gotten myself into. I am totally aware that I am out of shape and have horrible eating habits, the frustrating part is that I am actually okay with that. My main goals are not to lose weight, or look better, but to get my resting heart rate down to at least 70bpm, lower my cholesterol(yeah yeah, make the old people jokes...) and gain some muscle!
Now, how in the world do you get a person who lacks motivation and has a hard time with dedication and commitment to actually get up early to exercise and eat healthy?! I normally only get in one meal a day, and if I am able to actually squeeze dinner in, it's usually late at night and it's not even a meal, I more or less resemble a cow, grazing through my fridge picking at whatever I can find that doesn't involve any preparation at all. Normally I find myself eating things like cheese, wheat thins, peppers, cake, frozen waffles, corn dogs, chips and salsa...blah blah blah...you get the picture.
So, while looking at a blog today I was encouraged to start One Percent Changes. This seems simple, I love it. Make small changes, nothing too huge, and eventually these small changes will make a difference. So here we go... I can totally do this! However, I'm not going to lie, this is going to have to wait until tomorrow. The Butler Vs UConn game is on tonight so I'm picking up a couple pizzas on my way home from work and Keeping it Kingdom with a few friends tonight.
