Starting over with a renewed spirit...

I had to get honest with myself...

My journey has taken a serious detour for the worse. Since I was still going to the gym, I tricked myself into thinking that I have been doing what I know I need to to be healthy; I knew in my heart this was not true. All of the healthy habits that I incorporated started to slip out of my life, until I got to a point where my lifestyle was pretty close to what I was doing before I began. And as a result, my weight is pretty close to my starting weight... very disheartening.

But, I could either continue my pity-party or do something about it... and I'm choosing the latter.

One of my neighbors, Rachel P, has taken her Stroller Strides business and expanded it into much more. And even though I am not a mother, I decided to challenge myself and enroll in her Body Back class (even though I don't remember when I actually had the body in the first place). The first day wasn't a full class and I was sore! Today was the second class and it's hard - but I am doing it! I've met some super cool women - they are always cheering me on! Thank you Lisa, Rebekah, Stephanie and Alex for getting me though today's workout...

I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort-zone! I am so excited and enthusiastic of what is to come...

Happy Thursday!

You are amazing, and you are going to see how awesome you are as you go along! Days when you think you have nothing left, we will cheer you on and you will get through it and be able to KNOW that YOU did it! I haven't weighed under 200 lbs. since middle school!!! I am very much looking forward to the day when I can say I'm UNDER 200 lbs!
