Fitness Is The Key

I know it will take about 3-5 months for me to reach my goal, but that is ok. I have noticed that I don't get tired anymore when I walk a long distance. I've also noticed that my left knee doesn't hurt as much as it did. My boyfriend has also noticed a change in my body. He says I am more toned and firmer like how I was when we first got together. He has been complimenting me alot, and I love it and greatly appreciate it.

I have more self confidence. I walk with my head up now, and don't feel as ugly as I used to. I really like working out. I am definitely this fly, fat, but yet fit woman. Loving every minute of it. P90X is crazy, but it's good. So you don't have to start working out all hard....start slow. Hey I started off by walking, but I used to run in high school, and I miss that, but I'm gonna run this weekend if it doesn't rain.

P90X

Omg, my boyfriend bought the P90X workout. I am on my second day, and I love it. As of today my current weight is 208lbs. I'm loving the transformation that my body is takng. I still walk everyday, and trying my best to eat clean. Pictures coming soon!

I Lost 3lbs

Well I've only worked out a couple of days this week, but at least I did something. I weighed in yesterday, and I'm at 213lbs. Thats good, but I need to stay motivated. I have to take my workout and use it as my motivational stress reliever. So before I go to my phlebotomy class, I will workout for 25 minutes to an hour, at least 5 days out the week.

WONDERFUL DAY

I woke up this morning and did a 30 minute workout, and then went jogging.I felt real good after all that. my next workout for today is housework. It's amazing how many calories you can burn from doing house work. For dinner, I'm going to make some bake chicken, mixed veggies, and garlic bread. I need to make a grocery list so that I can start clean eating. Today is the fisrt day that I didn't have a Red Bull. See, I stopped drinking Coke to months ago, and I replaced it with Red Bulls. The Red Bull was replaced with cranberry juice....yummy!

Staying Motivated

I buy alot of fitness magazines, Oxygen, and Shape. I love to read the stories of how everyday women like me were able to lose weight and keep it off. I posters of exercises on my wall, and I find time to do some kind of workout if I don't feel like doing my Biggest Loser dvd. I definitely love to dance, and that is a great way to workout and get your sweat on. I do plan on setting a goal to run some type of marathon....nothing big. I gotta start small sense its been years since I ran in a meeet. I am also motivated by my boyfriend. He has bought 100lb weights and he works out on a daily bases. I tease him and say he wants to lose weight to be a stripper...lol. So find something or someone to motivate you and stay with it.

Losing The Weight

About 2 months ago I weighed 236lbs. My turning point was when my family and I were at Best Buy, and I got on the Wii Fit. It told me I was obese, and being that I'm 32 years old, the Wii Fit told me I was 43 years old. I was so embarrased. So I bought the Biggest Loser workout dvd, and now I weigh 216lbs. Last week I fell off my workout, but that's okay, because I decided to do this blog to keep myself motivated. Tonight I will workout for 45 minutes doing the Biggest Loser dvd. My goal is to weigh 150lbs, and I will put a 6week program together and I will weigh myself once a week. I haven't been good with this clean eating, but I do know that I have cut back tremendously on the food portions, so that is a start. I also have learned to not be so hard on myself, and take it one day at a time. So we will see where I will be 6 weeks from today, which is March 10th. So wish me luck!
