I have been researching blogging for the past few months now because I love to write. I wanted someplace to go because I have stories to share and things to learn. Honestly, I need to keep motivated on my weight loss journey and getting fit now that I'm 43. I have always been an emotional eater and not a very active one!
I joined Weight Watcher's back in 1989 and achieved lifetime status - I was down to an itty bitty 123 lbs - that was suppose to be my goal weight according to my height. I haven't grown vertically since then, but I have grown horizontally. If I was to set my goal at 123lbs now, I'd have to surely cut off some of my extremities. At 5'4 there is NO way I could get back to that weight. My goal is 140 and I'd be happy with that. Will I ever get there ... I'm trying ... I started at 189 lbs in the New Year - c'mon, you know the infamous resolutions we all make - I made mine and I'm just stubborn enough to keep it.
I couldn't afford to join a gym so I jumped on my treadmill in the basement. It sits next to my exercise ball and weights. Who actually ever uses their home gym equipment? I quickly grew bored of going down into my dingy basement and getting on my treadmill.
Someone must have surely been sitting on my shoulder that day. In the mail, I received a brochure from YMCA with their full schedule. The prices were still a bit much, so I looked them up online. They had a payment program so people like me could join, no excuses now. I was even allowed a personal trainer for 3 sessions and I didn't have to pay extra for this. So, I joined the gym. For the first time in my life.
I will share with you tomorrow, my first day ...
