The Next Phase...

I am now a Team Member at Lifetime Fitness!!!! I am so excited! I really do think that working there will encourage the healthy lifestyle I am trying to achieve. I am very anxious, I should be starting there next week sometime. I believe that getting this job is the next phase in my weight loss journey. They encourage healthy nutrition, exercise and they help you learn about all of it too.

On a less happy note, my grandmother is in the hospital. We don't know what is going on yet. All we know is that she has been acting strange for the past couple of weeks and we finally convinced her to go to the hospital. I will keep updating on her condition as I know things.

Something else I am learning right now, fast food really isn't satisfying to me at all anymore. I used to love taco bell, mcdonalds, etc etc. Now when I eat it I don't feel satisfied, I don't feel full, I'm beginning to want more from my food. I want to eat food and feel fueled not just full. I find myself craving fruits and grilled foods and salads. Its almost time for a trip to the grocery store to get these things into my house. Another thing not satisfying me that used to, soda Dr. Pepper specifically, I am no longer liking the taste of it. I am beginning to really love water especially with a little lemon juice added in it. I am even beginning to forgo the soda when I'm out to eat, which is a huge step towards healthy! I am very excited about this new phase in my life.

That is all for tonight,
