Well it's finally been done...

Jan 11, 2010

 I have finally gone to work out at the gym this year..... I feel wonderful.... My family went together. My son, boyfriend and god-daughter all went together after having a fairly healthy dinner of salad, grilled pork chops and spaghetti.  We sat around the dinner table discussing health issues and ways to get healthier as a family, then we all decided to get it over together, and go on to the gym.

My god-daughter Jasmin and I went to work on the treadmill 1st. We walked for 32 min at 3mph and i feel pretty good and stayed consistent. Jasmin went up and down on the speed but untimately we both did the exact amount of time and calories burned. I walked 1.47 miles, and  burned 168 calories.  Then we went on to work out our upper body on the machines for abs and arms, and did several crunches.  I was resisting going at first because I was exhausted but I felt wonderful after we went and realized that I just really needed to get started.

I started my day off getting my oil changed at Walmart after dropping my boyfriend off at work, then I went to the salon and had a friend to do. Later I went home took a nap and went on to cook dinner for the family. It was a long day and as it is supposed to have been my off day I really wasn't feeling the idea of having to go to the gym, But it happened to be the best thing that happened all day.

Hoping that in the morning I won't be too sore to go again after being at school all morning teaching and then having to go to the salon for 3 customers after school. 

Also the last good thing that happened today was after weighing myself I had dropped to 294 lbs, from 300. my goal is 2 lbs per week min. and I have been eating a lot healthier than I ever have.  I have not deprived myself of the things that I like to eat . I just have not eaten as much of it as I once would have. I have also been getting in breakfast, and eating several smaller meals during the day.  That is the hardest thing for me because I tend not to get hungry and force feeding myself is really hard to do. I realize though that to get off of this weight I have to eat enough to keep my metabolism up, and make healthier choices when eating on the fly.

Well thats all for now as I have to be at school early and I am almost sure I will have to get up to take my boyfriend to work even though I don't need to get up for school usually so early.... He really is going to have to start driving so he can get comfortable behind the wheel. I am tired of having to always drive everyone everywhere....

Anyway good luck and keep me in your prayers that I can stick to this healthier lifestyle (not diet). 2010 is my year to get and stay fit....This is it.....
