Well, here we go - beginning Monday bright and early, I am starting a P90X/Insanity hybrid workout schedule. Also starting Monday is the eating clean regimen - couple the two together and I'm hoping de-toxifying results will happen quickly! I have been 'off track' for so long now, it's starting to feel ridiculous, and clothes fitting differently is getting more depressing daily. No more refined sugars and junk. Only one 'cheat' day a week (Sunday, I've decided) away from the clean eats.
From this past Tuesday, when I decided that it was going to be the hybrid workout program starting Monday. ... I gave myself free reign to eat whatever I wanted between now and Monday. The reason I do this is because I KNOW I'll get sick of eating crap by then - and be more than ready to jump into eating clean without being tempted by the crap, truly. There was a time when I really wasn't tempted by it, and I'm searching for that mindset again! How do I know allowing myself free reign for several days will work? Because I did it once before and it worked great for me. When I originally got my P90X, it arrived on a Monday or Tuesday - so I had the whole week to prepare before beginning and I did the same thing. I was sick of eating crap by Friday! So it was all that much easier to make the transition come Day One. :)
We will see how the weekend goes - even though I'm not totally eating clean yet, I will be prepping food and readying myself for the week ahead (shopping lists, shopping, prepping veggies and other meals and snacks for convenience during the work week) so I may try to wean myself off of junk a little bit (save myself some grief, maybe, in getting over the refined sugar withdrawal?). I think I might want to go for a run/walk or two, or whatever. I know I'll definitely be prepping the workout area to be sure I have everything I need to hit it hard Monday and every day following! I really need to get this habit started again - and I know that once I get going I will love it and want to stick with it. It needs to become a lifestyle. NO EXCUSES! Excuses are a thing of the past. .... because a fit body does not become fit without some work on my part. That's just the simple facts, ma'am!! Nothing works if I don't work it!
