Day 1

Hi all, Thank you for taking the time to read. So today is day 1 and about to do my first workout. Today has been good do far but I've definitely been craving some food that I'm not supposed to eat. I usually eat some form of candy or sweets every single day. I know that it's not like going to not eat it ever again but it's hard making a drastic switch. Sometimes if I'm hungry ony way home from work I will stop and get something. Usually bad. Mcdonalds, wingstop, Taco Bell. Haha. I've never been good with food. In college I was ok because I couldn't afford to go out and the dining hall had ready prepared food. I'm a very picky eater and I even joined a group on Facebook with hope of finding people more like me. It was INSANE to see the different people in the group. I realized it could be a hell of a lot worse and some of the older people in the group made me realize that I don't want to be like them. All in all it wasn't the group I was looking for. I was in need of a group to help me branch out, not make me feel safe just eating potatoes everyday. I know this is going to be a very long process but I'm beginning by doing a 12 week program that focused around macros and kettle bell workouts. I've done the workouts here and there but I'm excited to finally have something laid out. I took my body fat test and I've definitely got some improving to do. I don't "look" fat but my body could function better. I took my first set of progress photos today and looking at them makes me very sad. I'm in no way morbidly obese or anything but I just feel guilty for doing this to my body. My body has done so many wonderful things for me but I need to pay it back. I need to do this for my son and family so I can be a better example of what you should be doing. My fears for this are that nothing will happen and I will still look the same at the end. I know that's crazy but it's just my mentality. I plan on doing the first four weeks to the best of my ability but I know I will have challenges. No dairy, junk food, grains, bead etc for four weeks? Yikes! I've got a lot of support from many people and I'm glad you've taken time to read this.
