My Story...

I have struggled with my weight and body image for a long time and I have tried diets, exercise videos, DVD's, drinks, pills...the works! Nothing stuck!

In 2008 I joined Weight Watchers and things went well, I lost 10 lbs quickly, but as soon as I got off track I gained it back and lost it again over and over as I went off and on the plan.

In July 2009 I joined Gold's Gym, began working with a trainer and attended the gym on my own on a semi-regular basis.

This past Saturday, January 30, 2010 I signed up for the gym's 12 week challenge to as Emeril says, "Kick it up a notch" and get serious about changing my body for the better. Over the next 12 weeks I will be following the weight watchers plan for my nutrition needs and working out regularly at the gym to reach my goal and WIN the challenge!

I will journal my progress and I encourage anyone that has made a commitment in 2010 to work on a better you; whether it be weight loss, weight gain, muscle strength, or simply living healthier lifestyle, that you JOIN ME post your progress on this blog and TOGETHER we will support, motivate and encourage one another through it all!

I only have one rule...Keep it positive! :)

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!
IT TAKES LESS ENERGY TO SMILE THAN IT DOES TO FROWN.

Back on the wagon! Thank goodness! :)

Where did the time go?  Well let's see...three sick children and a sick husband can make for a rough week!  Plus all this snow we have had?  Ugh!  I got waaayy off track, but this weekend I made my way back and honestly that is the most important part!  Life will happen and you just have to stay focussed and not let it get you down. 

On Saturday I took the Body Pump class 9:00am-10:00 and yes I said Saturday!  I drug myself and my three girls to the gym and I barely made it with a few minutes to spare for set up.  Thankfully some very nice woman helped me get ready.  We used a step (for laying, not stepping) weight bars with various weights and the class was super motivating, a little tough on the muscles, but just what I needed.  It is a mix of cardio and strength training.  I was sore!  My knees were shaking and my calves burned!!  But, it was so worth it!  I mean if I am going to drag my butt to the gym on a Saturday morning...I better leave feeling like I did something!  You know?

QUESTION OF THE DAY!
It is no secret that I LOVE ZUMBA! 
What classes or exercises are you passionate about?  What motivates you?
