Well this has been one emotional weekend! But I guess all the emotions are what make this process worth it. So I have reached goal #2. Amazingly, these goals have been achieved before the date at which I had aimed for. This has helped me to realize that I can do this, maybe even sooner than I think. I'm so grateful for the support that I have around me though. I truly couldn't do this without the positive attitudes you guys have had in helping me through this process.
Well, Bryson suggested to me the other day that I make this blog more like the blog Julie writes in the movie Julie and Julia. So I'm going to give it a try. But I'm really bad at consistency so sorry if I miss a day. Well today I tried to go a little farther with my workout. Last Monday I reached the 2 mile mark but today I pushed it one more lap. Oh I guess I should tell you I'm running on the treadmill, not outside! lol...it's too cold for that! :) So running on the treadmill is a little easier but 2 miles is 2 miles! I'm really proud of myself...Val has said that when I lose some of this extra weight I actually might enjoy running. She says I have a very good form for running. I think she might be right. Running isn't so bad. Although it definitely is more difficult with extra weight! Well I also did about 100 sit ups (different kinds) after I ran. Then I did planks for a little bit. I did some side planks with Val last week and discovered that that is a very week spot for me! haha...but this really has been amazing. Val reminded me last week that when I started working out I could barely do ten sit ups without needing a break, last week I did 75 in a row with no break! :) So cool to see the progress I'm making.
So I've also discovered that working out is no big deal when you have the right tunes! lol...Val always makes sure we have some good tunes to rock out to in her spinning class and when I work out with her in the garage. If you guys know of any good upbeat songs that I might like to add to my work out list send me the names!
Well I think that is all I have for today. Hopefully in my next post I will get a picture put up of me. I want to do before and after pictures so you can see the changes. I think I might try to post a new picture every few weeks so you can see the gradual changes. K...well that's all for now folks! :)
