Working It Wednesday!

I was thinking of trying different work outs I'm seeing on pinterest and sharing my thoughts. Let's call it Working It on Wednesday!!  Today's work out is...

 

Over all this is a good little work out. I wouldn't use it as a main workout but a little bit of one is better than none!  I might use this on days where I KNOW I was LAZY at the gym or to wake up a bit more in the morning.

Get up and move!

The weigh in..

 The hardest part of this journey was beginning. The heart wrenching part was stepping on the scale and seeing my weight in a public setting. I watched the arm going around and bounce in an area that was shocking..

 I have never ever shared my weight with anyone beyond my doctor. I dated my exboyfriend for YEARS and he never knew.  I am going to share it with my readers.

 When I started this, I weighed 284 pounds and I am 5' 5". That is technically, morbid obesity. I wasn't even that heavy when I was 9 months pregnant. I pretty much burst into tears.

 Seriously, guess how much  Green Bay's quarterback Aaron Rodgers weighs?

The 6'2" quarterback weighs in at 225 pounds. I weighed more than him.. That was SHAMEFUL. Since that day I have lost 19 lbs by cutting calories and carbs as well as increasing my activity level and lifting weights. I might not seems like much but its a big success to me and that time on the scale my tears were joyful.

I woke up...

In January, like many people I thought, " hey, I need to get into shape.." Then finally on February 9th, I did something about it. I walked into a gym and joined. It was terrifying. Exciting too. I started going to work out on my lunch breaks and eating better. I feel sooo much better than I did before. I've lost 19 pounds so far.

I have a big goal to reach. I'm hoping to blog at least once a week to publicly share my successes and set backs and maybe I can inspire someone else.

It's been awhile....

It's been almost a year since I left the blogging world. I briefly attempted to start a new blog but I figured I'd come back home like a good long lost daughter. 

My life has changed a bit and my blog will reflect that. I'm now a single mom who is struggling with making a lifestyle change to be healthier and lose weight.

I have missed blogging and reading my friends blogs. 



It's good to be back! :)
