Feb 04, 2009

Well, its been awhile since I posted, but I am happy to say I feel great!!! I am working out at the gym 5 times a week and watching the scale drop. I get up at 4:45 am every morning. Some mornings I would love to just go back to sleep, but then I force myself out of bed and by the time I hit the gym I am so happy I am there. I work out all of my frustrations and stress at the gym (trust me there is a lof of stress to work out with a teenage daughter..lol). On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I swim for 45 minustes and then treat myself to 15 minutes in the hot tub. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I do strength training on the elyptical for 30 minutes and then 30 minutes of weights. I love the elyptical. I can burn up to 500 calories in a half hour. I am doing much better getting in my protein every day. I drink a 30 gram protein shake every morning for breakfast and have some type of protein for lunch and for dinner. I indulge in a yogurt some days for snack, or a piece of cheese. I am really happy with my tool now. The first few months I had serious buyers remorse, but I really couldn't be happier now!! For those of you that are in your first few months and are feeling miserable, trust me when I say it gets better....much better!! I have lost 4 pant sizes already and even though I have so far to go I am really happy where I am now too. Hopefully I will check more off my list of things to accomplish in the next few months.
