a new journey

A month ago - I didn't quit.  I kept going to the pool in the mornings, I kept eating - not horrible.  No weight off - still only down 12 pounds (up 3 from the lowest fluke).

As I spent a few days worrying about work and feeling my butt grow larger... I reminded myself that I need to focus on ME.  I had several early mornings watching "P90X, Insanity.." all of those lose weight intense workout shows reminding me that I am not good enough to do it on my own.  A friend of mine wanted to do crossfit with me a while ago - but the cost was OUTRAGEOUS, times weren't perfect  - and you had limited days and times you could go to the class.  I didn't think that I would be able to afford it, and I wasn't quite ready for that big of a commitment.  I decided on Monday to look at different crossfit places - near my house (I passed one with a neat obstacle course outside that interested me).  The website had NO prices.. great... so I filled out a question form thing and said, "I'm fat. I'm out of shape.  When I say fat - I don't mean flabby... I mean BMI upper obese.  I used to be an athlete, and I think I need a coach.  Do you have a program for me?" Then they had a place for how you wanted to be contacted -and texting was one - I HATE awkward phone calls - and my phone's not getting email at the moment, so it was perfect.  SEND

Within the hour I got a call that very much upset me - and made me realize - even more - that it is time for me.  Then... as I hung up - I got a text from Harvey at BodyLab... Scheduled a meet and greet - and went.  And loved it.  Cost was - affordable (thanks mom) - then went to Sea World - and SA for 3 days.  I decided then that I was for sure doing it - and on the way home texted Harvey and scheduled the nutrition class.

9am today I went to nutrition class - 3:00 on Sunday I have grocery shopping class - and 6am on Monday I have my first fitness test.  Then its full blown - 5 days a week crossfit. I signed up for a year. They call if you don't go - you have to turn in a food log - and they coach  you on nutrition daily.  

I also realized for sure that I need a 3rd party coach.  I'm getting that :)

I"m going to take measurements tomorrow, weigh start, and a picture.  I KNOW this is going to be amazing.  New Journey Begins :)
