After forcing myself, and being encouraged by others, I’m proud to report that I’ve successfully made it to the gym 8 out of 11 times in the last two weeks. I’d say this is a pretty good start on this portion of my yo-yo trip to a healthier lifestyle.

In case you’re curious, here’s a short list of positive changes/steps I’ve taken so far:

• Working out 6 times/week (3 days of weights, 3 days of cardio)
• Eating smaller meals but eating more often (shooting for 6 small meals a day)
• Taking probiotics to aid digestion and help clean out the gunk
• Eating more vegetables, fish, and chicken (I even bought a veggie steamer!)
• Doing my best to get to bed before midnight

I still haven’t taken any metrics so I can’t tell how much physical progress I’ve made so far but that’s the next step. Mentally I’m feeling much better. I have more energy and I only have muscle soreness about 4 days a week. :)
