Health and Fitness Track, 2018
My employer struck a deal with Lifetime Fitness whereby we get 1/2 price membership so long as we visit the club at least 6 times a week, so I joined up. I also gave them a limb in exchange for 8 personal training sessions and 8 Pilates sessions. The personal training is over, thank god, but I've decided to continue with Pilates twice a week for the foreseeable future. It's a lot of great core work and since I have a habit of throwing out my back, I need that.
I've also been living a "low-carb" lifestyle, by which I mean no bread, pasta, sugar, etc. unless the net carb count is low, and trying to keep the overall calorie count low as well. I've lost 10 pounds in the ~5-6 weeks I've been doing this but I know I can do better. I too often use fact that I'm avoiding carbs as an excuse to eat more than I need of low-carb foods.
I've been happy with my decision to cut carbs overall, especially since the less I eat the less I crave them. I highly recommend bread products from thinslimfoods.com (thanks @livius) for great tasting, low-carb bread products.
