GoalWtIn6Months

Oh how i”m totally loving life right now!  I’ve been consistantly active for the last 3 weeks now, working out 5 days a week and loving it.  It sure wasn’t easy at first but I can see and feel myself really enjoying it much more now. 

Most impressive for me though is not the exercise…..I’ve always been able to get that down.  But it’s the eating.  I’ve always had problems with that…….that is until now!  I can’t believe I FINALLY have that under control!  And wow, it’s really showing in my shrinking belly fat and overall strength I feel in my body.

When I started this weight loss thing about a year ago I was pushing a size 22…..  was able to get to a size 18 last Oct 2007, but was stuck at 18 till now!!  On Monday night I went out on a date with hubby and guess what??  I put on a size 16 dress, and it fit well and I felt great!!! 

And just so you know,  for those of you who might not be so motivated or hate to workout….. I did all this by mostly just plain ol’ walking.  That’s mostly it, walking 2-4 miles 5-6 days a week.  I’ve also added strength training now using small 5 & 10 lbs hand weights to help build more muscle, plus lunges, squats and crunches 2-3 times a week.  But it really all started with the most simple and easy to do exercise….WALKING.   Something we all can do for sure.  It’s being consistant that’s really important!

Well, I’m soo close to my first ever mini goal!  I don’t know if I’ll reach it this weekend at weigh in but I know for sure it will be met in the next 7-10 days….. I can just feel it.  Good Bye to the 200’s once and for all!!
