I am starting CrossFit this week... at 6am on Wednesday. Yes... my non-morning person, Velcro sheet-loving, lazy ass will be getting up at the butt crack of dawn twice a week to go exercise. And I'm actually looking forward to it. The truth is I'm barely exercising these days. And I'm eating fairly poorly. My portions aren't bad, but my choices are high in sugar. And you know... I know this will be tough to believe... I am feeling like crap lately. It's funny how you can ignore how bad you feel for a long time. I am thankful that I'm noticing it now, though, before it gets too bad.
I miss feeling good. I miss feeling energetic. Now... going to the gym twice a week won't fix this... but I'm hoping the intense workouts will propel me (as they did when I did a boot camp a couple years ago) into eating better because it makes working out so much better. Diet really is everything. You don't have to work out seven days a week to be in good shape. But you do have to eat well... at least more often than not.
So we shall see. :) But I feel good about it. Once in a while you can just feel yourself reach a point where there is no other option but to make a change. That's kind of how I feel right now.
