Smithtown, NY I am naturally a hard worker. Since I was in high school I have always had at least one job and sometimes up to 3 jobs, because I knew that if I wanted something badly enough I was going to have to work to get it, no one was going to hand me anything. As I examine myself today I'm proud of my achievements with my career but I must admit I have ignored other parts of me to get here.
Coming from I am naturally a hard worker. Since I was in high school I have always had at least one job and sometimes up to 3 jobs, because I knew that if I wanted something badly enough I was going to have to work to get it, no one was going to hand me anything. As I examine myself today I'm proud of my achievements with my career but I must admit I have ignored other parts of me to get here.
Coming from a naturally athletic family my sisters and I were always in some sport, soccer, volleyball, softball whatever, and we were always in pretty good shape, considering we ate whatever we wanted not thinking about what it might do to our bodies down the road. I have never been skinny, Im not built that way, but I know if I put even 10% of the effort I put into my career into my health and fitness I would look HOT. Curvy, tight....HoT!
So fast forward to today. I turn 31 in March and my goal is to get into the best shape of my life by my Birthday. I am also engaged to be married next fall and I want to look like the most beautiful bride I can. The goal of getting into shape I have set year after year but never followed through with it. I have always put my career firsts never stopping to recognize that if Im not healthy all the work I put into my career will be for not.
I have joined gyms and gone for several months at a time, I walk my dog, I even rode in the AIDS life cycle two years ago (600 mile bike ride to raise money for AIDS foundations in California). But I never had such a burning desire to get in shape as I do today.
I can't wait to watch the transformation and Im excited to get on this ride.
My Progress My fitness goal: Lose Weight
Transformation story
On November 9th I weighed in at a whopping 167lbs. The heaviest I had been in 10 years. I had just discovered that I was pregnant (only 5 weeks along) I was happy and scared at the same time. The More ...
On November 9th I weighed in at a whopping 167lbs. The heaviest I had been in 10 years. I had just discovered that I was pregnant (only 5 weeks along) I was happy and scared at the same time. The happiness was because my dreams were coming true but the fear was that at such a heavy weight I was going to have a more difficult pregnancy, a harder time getting the weight off after the baby and everybody wants to give their baby as many opportunities as they can for health and success. Me being overweight was not a good thing.
A week later I miscarried (another challenge with being overweight). We were saddened by this at first until my finace and I decided to take this chance we have to get into the best shape of our lives before we get pregnant again. This is it. I want to lose 27 lbs in the next 6 months, be halfway there (at least) by my 31st birthday in March and look great at my wedding in the fall of 2010. I can't wait to get pregnant after I hit my goal. And I can't wait to tach my children the joys of being healthy.
I have been doing P90x for 2 weeks now. THe first week was really hard, I have been pretty soar everyday. I did not look forward to getting up and doing another workout. But the second week I had a much easier time with the moves. I got thru 90% of all the workouts next week it will be 100%.
I have more energy already and I am starting to really look forward to each workout.
Whoo-hoo let the ride begin.
