Day 1

Current weight: 240lbs
Today was the first day of my lifestyle change. The last 29 years of my life have been filled with yummy sugar treats, indulgence, and laziness. I joined up with Jen Kees for her Beach Body Boot Camp. It's an 8 week exercise program, every day will be a challenge! Today was pumptime Express, armed with a barbell that had a total of 15lbs on it. I have lifted weights before, but never in an aerobic routine. My body was shaking for an hour after. I suppose this is good, and I should be thanking Jen for encouraging me to do this for myself. I don't know if I will feel so positive as the week goes on.
So why put this pressure on my body, and mind? I have been overweight since I was 10 years old. My max weight was 290lbs when I was pregnant, and now 5 years later, I am still battling with the weight that I put on. I am addicted to sugar, and television, and I fear that I am setting a bad example for my son. I am tired of getting winded going up a flight of stairs, and I am tired of looking in the mirror and seeing what I have become. I feel absolutely gorgeous inside; I am a kind person, and I love to take care of other people. I have a great boyfriend who loves me for all that I am, and I have all the support in the world. The only thing that has been holding me back has been myself, I am my worst enemy.
So this is going to be an amazing journey for me. I am finally taking care of myself.
Take Care!
