Weigh In - 3/24

166.8

Woo hoo!
More detailed weekly post to follow, once I can get on the computer :)

Weigh in - 3/17

I had a great week! I took a couple of R.I.P.P.E.D. Classes, and went 3 times to use the elliptical. The first time I was on the elliptical I went 2 miles, and the last time I think I went 4 miles. I think I need to find some fun music to keep me going though. I do like the workout pandora station though! I still look like a fool when I do the ripped class, but I'm starting to get a little better. Not much, but I know it will take time!

Today's weigh in is: 170.2

Woo! It's nice to see that when I put in the work, I'll see results!

Weigh in - 3/10

Well, the first weigh in didn't go as well as I had hoped. Yesterday I weighed in at 172.6. So a loss, but not as much as I was hoping! I'll take it though. It was a rough week though, so I only worked out on that Saturday and Thursday. But everything seems to be running smoothly again so I plan in being more active this week.
This morning I signed up at the YMCA (I had been using Angie's guest pass) and I used the elliptical, which was kind of hard! I only did 2 miles but I can only go up from there.
I'm really excited to be able to work out every day 😃

The Day After

Today is the day after the first workout. I'm feeling really good! I'm definitely sore all over, but it's not so bad that I can't walk. I remember when I belonged to the local gym years ago, and had a personal trainer for a short period of time. That guy pushed me so hard I could barely walk the next day. It didn't leave me looking forward to the next workout session! I feel like this time I pushed myself, and while I am sore, I am not too sore to not work out again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it!

Weigh In - March 2

This first weigh in is a doozy. I can't believe I let myself go this bad. Having two kids in two years didn't help, but make no bones about it I had become chunky and lazy a few years before kids. But the only way to go is up! I'm excited to see where I will be in a month, six months, a year.
But anyway. I worked out today for the first time in about two years. I took a R.I.P.P.E.D. class at the local YMCA with a girlfriend of mine. And it was tough! But afterwards I felt so energized it was amazing! I plan on going again on Monday.
I'm not sure if I'm going to regret this or not, but below is my starting picture. I took a picture with my bare belly showing, but I'm not quite ready to show that to the world yet. As you can see, I definitely have many areas to improve. And, drumroll please, my starting weight is...

173.2

Gulp.

There's not much else to say except seeing that number motivates me to do better.
Here's to hoping the next weigh in shows an improvement.

Stats:
Weight: 173.2
Shirt Size: XL/L
Pant Size: 12/14

Introduction

Hi, I'm Sarah and this blog will be dedicated to following my journey into becoming a healthier person in 2013.
I'm a mom of two boys, the most recent born in December 2012. Having kids has motivated me to do something about my muffin top, love handles, saddlebags, you get the idea.
My goal is to be fit and healthy, and be able to run and jump around with my kids. I want to be able to take them to the beach without having a panic attack about wearing a bathing suit. I want to be able to keep up when we run around and play at the park. I've been out of shape for quite awhile, so I have my work cut out. But, I'm determined to do it. The only way to improve is work at it!
So I hope having this blog will keep me accountable. I plan on posting 1-2 times a week, weighing in once a week and posting a picture update once a month. If you'd like to have your blog linked to mine on the sidebar, comment or email and I will add you! I look forward to sharing my fitness journey!
