Feeling Good

It's Saturday. I'm feeling good. Finished my 6th workout of this week. I did bootcamp 3xs, Zumba 1 day, and walked 2days. What I am most excited about is that I am beginning to enjoy exercise. This something I never imagined I would say in my lifetime. My quest to lose 40 x 40 has led me to a change in lifestyle and attitudes. I no longer dread working out and manage to make healthy food choices with consistency.

Just yesterday when some folks at work decided to go for frozen yogurt and suggested walking the .3 miles, I immediately said yes (even though I was wearing some fierce heels)! I know that even in fabulous shoes, I can walk anywhere, any time! I am excited to see what results I get when I add training for the 3day to my current routine. My plan is to continue with bootcamp 5 days a week and add 3 days of training for the walk to that routine! I will be fit and fab when I hit 40!

the journey continues....

What a Shame

It has been two months since my last post. What a shame! However, it is actually a good indication of what my life has been like over the last 8 weeks. Lots has happened since my last post on April 10th! I officially hit my half way mark (well almost), I've lost 19.8 lbs. I've witnessed the end and beginning of another year at MTR. I can proudly boast that I have worked out consistently for 4 consecutive months and have (for the most part) conquered emotional eating.

Now, the challenge will be to shake these last 20 pounds in the next 3 and 1/2 months. I will begin training for my second Susan G. Komen 3day walk in just 20 days. I hope that adding the extra walking to my regular bootcamp routine will push me toward my goal. I would love to experience the walk 40 pounds lighter! Thanks for cheering me on along the way!
