Ok...I think I have the diet under control. However, I have not yet begun exercising! I decided when I started this transformation that I was going to take it one step at a time. I feel that this was necessary for me, because if I feel overwhelmed with too many changes, I am more likely to give up before I even begin. So...tonight I am going to our local gym to try out Zumba! I know the instructor, and the first class is free. I also have a customer who told me about a great walking in place video that works your whole body. I am excited, but also nervous. I realize how out of shape I really am, and know that I am going to be sore tomorrow. However, this is a change that I am ready to make. I am anxious to see what results will come when combining work-outs with diet. I know how much more energy I have now than I did several months ago, but am looking forward to even more energy! I hope you all find 2011 to be one of yo...
So...my back was hurting last week, so I didn't do my miles. I did the two Zumba sessions, but that is it. I skipped Monday for Jacob's birthday. I really did not want to go tonight. It would have been much easier to sit down and watch the Biggest Loser people sweat instead of sweating myself. So....I....went to Zumba! There is no room for excuses at this point in the game. As soon as I let the old ways creep back in, there is no telling what kind of down-ward spiral will ensue. I was happy to find that I have lost a total of 28 pounds now. I just have one pound to go until I am out of the 180's. I am almost back to the weight I was when I said my vows!! Yay for me. It wouldn't be as much of a journey without the friends who are on this journey with me. I am literally watching people I have known for years melt away before my very eyes. There isn't even magic involved. It's just good ol...
I know I am not nearly as diligent as I was in the beginning about keeping up with my blog posts. Perhaps this is because it is summer time, I have been too tired after work, lack of motivation, etc. All of that is an excuse though. I have gotten back on the exercise wagon. I still don't work out as often as I should, but I have been doing water aerobics two times a week for a couple of weeks now. I go with 3 other girls from work. There are only 7 of us in the office, and 4 of us go. It is fun to be able to do something together outside of work. Although Jen teases the heck out of me, I enjoy the time to do something for myself with my buddies. I have still managed to lose weight. I am trying to stick to the gluten free and sugar free diet like I have been since October, but find it to be much more tempting to cheat now that I have shed so much weight. It is like the little "diet devil" sitting on one shoulder sayin...
