Excitement

I finally feel as if I might be able to make some progress towards correcting my poor eating habits. My company is partnering with a local fitness club to promote the “Strength For Life” fitness program. It is based on the book of the same name, written by Shawn Phillips. We have had two meetings to introduce us to the theories of the program. While I admit that I do not fully agree with the nutritional recommendations for the first twelve days of the program, I will commit to those requirements for the twelve days. Who knows? They may make a believer out of me. My main concerns – no dairy or bread (even whole wheat). I guess I will be filling up on salads! This will be the first time that I’ve followed a structured exercise and nutrition program, so I’m not sure how I’ll fare. Once past the twelve-day “base camp”, the exercise regimen will consist of weight training, which I’ve never done before. Much like the credit card challenge, I have my doubts; but since the credit card challenge opened my eyes to new behaviors, I’m hopeful that this program will do the same for me.
