Ready to Go!!

Hi All!! I am so excited to share this journey with you! I am one of millions of people that struggle with their weight. I have been riding the roller coaster of weight loss for many year. Especially after I had my Thyroid removed in 2005. I thought I had problems before then...not so much. After surgery and then moving from an active job to a desk job I gained 78lbs over about 2 yrs. I have been carrying that weight with me for about 3 years! :o(

Well New Year's Eve my wonderful boyfriend (now Fiance) proposed to me and I new it was time for the weight to come off! Every girl dreams of looking perfect in their dream dress and I am no different. I stumbled upon my dress in March and have loved it ever sense. It looks nice on me now but I want it to be jaw dropping on my wedding day! So on April 27th I started Weight Watcher at work. This is my second time doing WW and I love it. So far sense April I am down 16lbs. What a difference it has made not only in the way I look up also the way I feel!!

Along with WW I have also been working out at least once a day if not twice. I have become a crazy workout lady!! :o) I do the elliptical during lunch and then I come home and do Turbo Jam!! Yes I bought Turbo Jam of an infomercial about 4 yrs ago. I never really got into it then. But I LOVE it now!! I totally recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun workout that you can do in the privacy of your own home. Also if you like the gym environment they have a class called Turbo Kick!! AWESOME!! It is a great program invented by Chalene Johnson! She is extremely motivation and I can't wait to get home and workout!!

Okay I will get off my little rant. I started off with walk/run and I still do it every once in a while when the heat index isn't over 100 degrees. The reason I started this blog is to keep myself motivated. I figure if I track my progress and share it with people, I will be more motivated to continue. Also I want to motivate friends, family and anyone who wants to get in shape and feeling good! So if you ever need an encouraging word I will hopefully have one for you. Also, I will share my struggles because everyone struggles!! It just about pushing through the struggles to the goal!! So until next time!! Keep Smiling!!
