Where I Want To Be in Six Months

After thinking about my first post a little more, I realized that I wanted to clarify an important point.

I don't believe that I can be a perfectly healthy fitness guru in six months. That is not very likely for most people and I'm certainly in the masses on this one.

Rather, I want to get to a place where I have a better idea of how much and of what I should be eating. I need to see it with my own eyes. Diet plans (I shudder at that term) are not right for me. I refuse to sacrifice taste to be “able” to eat my favorite foods. If I can taste the difference between the regular version and the low fat/sugar/calorie/whatever version, then I will use the regular version and just make sure that I don't eat it as often. I refuse to be unhappy with what I eat because I truly believe that life is too short to have bad food.

I want to be active. I feel better when I've get regular exercise and I want that feeling back in my life.

I want to feel better about my weight, my looks. If I don't lose weight or lose inches that's okay. It's more important to me to feel healthy. But right now, I know that this is not a healthy weight for me because I'm not healthy. As long as I'm healthy, I care much less about what my weight is or if my waist is bigger than it once was. I feel much more beautiful when I'm healthy.

But I know that it's a work in progress. Even if I am only halfway to these goals by January, that is still significant progress and I will celebrate wholeheartedly.
