Thursday Thirteen #17

Thirteen Things about Fitness in Shelley's Life! 1. I just joined the YMCA...and I plan on using it. I am not wasting $37 dollars each and every month! 2. I love the Y's step classes and plan on signing up in the spring session. 3. I am paying myself $1 for each hour that I spend at the Y....as a way to make sure that I go and to reward myself for doing so. 4. I am working on eating a raw food diet. 5. I can no way eat raw 100% of the time...at least right now. I only eat raw up until dinner time. 6. The only downside...I get hungrier than I used to eating raw. By the time I leave work I am starving. 7. I think it is because the foods I eat now are so much easier to break down. 8. I have started to plan a snack for right after work, so I don't eat myself out of house and home. 9. I did find the one day I spent a lot of time at the Y...I didn't overeat at all. That is definitely something to remember. 10. I still love my elliptical..I haven't abandoned her. I still use it when I can't get to the Y. 11. I want to try to Couch to 5K program again...I have tried it twice before and always quit to go to another fitness routine. Since the Y has an indoor track, I think I should give it another go. 12. I still have 35 pounds I want to lose...and don't like that I spent November and December gaining weight. 13. However, I am very proud of my fitness level and that I didn't DIE when I stepped on the elliptical machine at the Y for the first time. I am overweight, but I am still healthier than I was before I started all this. That's something that I carry onto when I struggle or get frustrated.
