I am so happy about making this commitment to myself. This commitment of FOCUSING on getting fit and healthy and revisiting it EVERYDAY.
So this morning I went to the gym and did a good workout. The old me would run till I hurt myself and then be sidelined. I so want to run. I see all of the spring joggers out there and I keep telling myself that I will get there soon. So the new responsible patient me used the rowing machine (ergometer) and did 7 min. In the past I would have been disapointed with that small time. But lets face it I am over 200lbs ( I will weigh officially tomorrow as my scale was out of batteries) and that is a good place to start. I was very winded and red faced. Then I did some lunges, free weights, ab work and a few weight machines. It took about 45 minutes. And I felt great after. I have forgotten about those endorphines that make a person feel so good. I want to get a more set workout together and have been reading about what to do.
As far as nutrition, I am going to keep a food journal and keep track of calories and try to be moderate. I have a lot of bad habits to break in many departments - food being one. Today so far has been good.
Now I just have to be patient and put one foot in front of the other and be consistent and keep going. I am really enjoying some of the blogs I have been reading. Two blogs that I found so far and have found very inspirational have been My angle on weight loss and Mama Wants a Six Pack. Both of these fit people have amazing before and after pictures that are truly inspiring, when like myself they had so much weight to get off. It can be done!
Since I don't have my fabulous before and after photos ready (yet) I wanted to put something on in way of photos since I love photos in a blog. Here is proof that the sun is shining here 
Finally a sunny day with a beautiful blue sky.
Just had to share our cute puppy - Tessa - She is going to be my spring walking partner.
Finally had to share how much I love my gym bag. After I dusted it off - now it can finally get some use. I love all of the pockets it has and the bottom shoe compartment. It is from Lululemon. Luckily I got it 1/2 price.
Well now that I am slowly learning to blog I feel that I am tied to this computer so on that note - bye for now!
