On the right Track

Well, I did it. Last night we (my husband, daughter and I) went to the gym and worked out for an hour. I had my hubby take before pics of me to see what I look like before my journey. Also, I have my beginning measurements and weight. UGH!!!!

To tell you the truth I am pretty embarrassed at what I let myself get to. In high school I was always the petite little one. (I'll post a graduation pic) No bigger than size 3 and weighed no more than 100 lbs soaking wet. To see what my size and weight is today is just sad. But I realize that now and am working toward getting back to what size I should be.

Working out last night was not as bad as I thought it would be, but not as good as it could have been. I started out on an elliptical machine that I absolutely despise. The thing is horrible. I could hardly stand 5 minutes on it. So I moved to the treadmill. That was MUCH better. I took it easier than I should have though. Today maybe I will go a little faster than a snail's crawl. LOL After 20 mins on the treadmill, I moved back to another elliptical machine that was much easier. I LOVED that machine compared to the first. I was able to do a good 10 minutes of good workout. Everytime I do a workout, I picture the Biggest Loser show and try to push myself to the point they do. "Don't wimp out, and push through the burn" is what I tell myself. Last night I didn't push myself enough because I am not sore like I should be.

Today begins another day on the journey and plans to go back to the gym and see if we can make my body sore.
