Run 3 miles

Notice a trend?! I can't seem to make it to the gym to get in a WOD so here I am running, and running, and running.

The entire commute to work this morning thoughts were going through my mind about how I was going to compose this post today. I had my meeting with my food guy. I'm not sure why I call him my food guy. He has a name, Josh. Let me rewind back to the beginning. I reached out to a friend and asked her about Josh. I didn't know him personally. I have read his articles and posts. I have heard about his die hard attitude to diet and fitness and I admire that. Nervous as heck, I sent him an email. I didn't know what to say, how to say it or what I expected. The email went something like this:

Josh,

I have excuses. But, I'm driven, I'm dedicated, and I can give 100% IF I knew how. All I know right now is I don't like what I see and I need help fixing it.

Thanks,
Jenn

The same day we started the 10 day food details. Today we met for the first time. Still nervous, anxious to meet him and hear what he had to say, I drove over there. He pulls out his computer and starts taking notes. I'm describing my food, activity level, purposely leaving out all excuses and owning up to what I did or did not do. I found myself saying things like, "I don't like my stomach area, I wish I could work on my back." I stopped myself and started laughing. I sounded ridiculous.

God has blessed me with a healthy body. Will there ever be a time when I am happy with it? There are so many things that could be wrong in my life, that aren't. Why in the world are these my issues?!

Josh smiled and assured me that it's okay to want to look/feel better. We will do some tweaking to the plan. The meals will change and the number of times I'm eating will change. We will revisit the plan every 10 days to make adjustments.

A few changes: NO RUNNING unless sprints. If I workout, I will workout at 100% and not chit chat. Give it all I've got during the slotted time period.

He also suggested I take pictures of myself. (remember my post from yesterday?) Pictures. Just what I need.... haha

My journey will continue. I have faith and I have determination!
