GYM

For almost a year now I've been going to the gym steadily. Which is great, right? However, I've been under the illusion that 2-3 times a week at the gym was going to counter act 40-60 work hours a week sitting at the computer and 20 pounds of overeating, stress eating, binge eating, comfort eating, late-night working eating, creative concepting eating, status meeting eating, second breakfast eating and snack eating. So, I can choose to look at this past year of exercise two ways: 1. Basically I've been torturing myself at the gym for a year because I was never going to loose any weight while abusing food. 2. Basically if I didn't go to the gym during the past year I would have gained even more weight.

I'm going with #2. Moving forward with a positive attitude. I am now on Day 6 of measuring, calculating and pointing out my food. I feel in control of my eating for the first time in YEARS! Made it to the gym tonight for an hour long Les Mills Body Pump class. I've been using really light weights and think next week I'm going to add more weight to the session. Going with the plan that as I continue to diet AND exercise, the melting fat will reveal the fit woman that I seemed to have swallowed whole.
