Feeling Good




Hey Guys! I'm doing good so far I've been to the local walking trail on Thursday and Friday and plan on going to the one near my moms house today weather permitting! This is a happy smiling me on Friday morning. I went to the walking trail at 7:30am right when it had just gotten light outside. I think the temp was around 40ish or little lower but it was so funny because this lil old lady was out walking her dog and was bundle all up and she started fussing at me because I had on cropped yoga pants with this fleece jacket. It was cold but that motivated me to stay at a brisk walking pace...I even jogged a little....and if you knew me you'd know that is in and of itself freaking amazing. I doubt I'll keep up going every day but I'm going to try for 3-5 times a week for 30-40 mins plus I am working out at home with some cardio and a very small bit of weight lifting with 8 pound weights. 

I've also been watching what I eat and eating more frequent smaller meals and snacks. I've almost cut my caffeine I've been down to one soda or sweet tea a day....today may be the day I try to go with out any so hopefully no headaches..I can do it!! 

Okay so I also wanted to share something I made with you but first I want to explain the meaning behind it. After siting down and really thinking about it I realized that one of the obstacles that have stopped me in the past from achieving my dream of getting fit was the fact that I'm not already fit. Wait what? That doesn't make any sense....okay well to me it does. You see I have started to really open myself eyes that I do care about what other people think about me more than I wanted to believe or admit, but that's unhealthy and I'm trying to fix that. Anyways, the reason this was a problem though is because for me to really push myself...well it's not pretty I get red faced, I can't catch my breath, and it's just embarrassing to be pushing so hard for that and then out of no where here comes this oh I'm so fat even though I only weight a 100 pounds soaking wet let me work out but I'm not even going to break a sweat kind of girls. ( Not the girls that have been were I am and have over come that and are exercising to stay fit!) They look at you like your a joke and I've even heard the rude comments or the cough covered laugh before. Well this is for those kinds of girls because you know what....it's easy to be pretty when you don't have to work for it but it's sexy when you do!


So yeah there you go...moving on now.




So I'm trying to decide should I weigh in....weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly? What do you think? Any personal experiences?


Bye bye for now guys!

  1. I'm so proud of your dedication!! You are even motivating me!!! I think a weekly weigh-in would be good. Remember...as you build muscle, the scales won't go down, even though you're losing weight. That's where the measurements come in handy. You'll be able to see those numbers shrinking! Loves ya!!!
