Day One: Beginnings

I've decided to journal my hopeful transformation into my former self. I've tried this before & succeeded for the most part only to be knocked down and undo all of my hard work. Hopefully, this time will be different. Hopefully this time I will succeed once and for all. No more excuses! It's time I finally gained control and like the saying goes..."there is no time like the present".

My first day started at about 6:30 AM. I dragged myself out of bed, did some kettleball exercises, showered & got ready for work.

I proceeded to plan out my meals for the day (need to make more time for this going forward, since it almost made me late for work, but this is crucial to my success). I then packed up my things & headed off to work.

Work was work, nothing too exciting but lots to do. In other words, a typical Monday. I was beginning to feel a little under the weather & was a little sluggish and achy...did not stop me from going to Zumba though (after all I am on a mission).

After work that's when the fun began...picked up my son, rushed home, made dinner (turkey burgers sans the bread) & went to Zumba.  I have no idea what was into the instructor today but I swear she was trying to kill me, she did not succeed. However, I have a sneaky feeling I may need a crane tomorrow morning to get my fat ass out of bed. I may possibly need a wheelchair to get around because I just know I am going to feel this tomorrow & simply walking may just be a challenge.

After Zumba, did the usual Mom things & am now sitting down to watch the Giants destroy the Rams (what a game, so far!).


Going to take a shower now (you have no idea how disgusting I feel right now & I am not taking this sweaty, dirty body to bed) & then getting in my jammies to finish watching the 4th quarter (I paused the game, so that I wouldn't miss a thing).

So to recap, I did strength training this morning, ate healthy all day and did high intensity aerobics at night. Not to shabby for the first day, don't you think?

Tomorrow I'll be starting off my day with abs (I hope!) & then doing some Wii Just Dance to keep up with the aerobics.

Wish me luck ~ J
