A few days into it....

A quick update-
workouts this week have been good.  A couple hour-long sessions on the elliptical and the bootcamp class yesterday- after which I couldn't lift my arms from all the shoulder work we did.

Planning on a short treadmill run today.

As for food, I'm keeping a food journal.  I've tried it before for a few days and then always drop it.  But Brett's doing it on Donelson Coaching and that's keeping me accountable.  I sure don't want to tell him I didn't stick with it when he's doing it himself.

And another part of this is the internal work- which is key for me (and for anyone else trying to change their relationship w/ food, whether you admit it or not).  Renee Stephens just published her first book, Full-Filled.  It's a 6-week program based on her IOWL podcast and weight-loss approach.  I've listened to Renee for a few years (thanks again to Brett and Tam), so there's nothing in the book that's new to me.  But I'm doing the program anyways b/c there's still plenty for me to change.  I sure don't want to look back at the end of the 6 weeks and  realize I didn't do everything I could.  But that takes time each day- for journaling, meditating, and getting into a support group.  Ugh- it's the support group that makes me want to run the other way.  Online is safer- a natural safety wall.  Talking in person about this stuff takes a lot more vulnerability.  But do I really want to make some changes or am I just making noise without really meaning it?  Hmmm....good question.  I might go get my journal out.
