Hey friends. Just want to let everyone know I will not be online for the next few days. I will be moving. Please check back in a week and I should be back on with fun blogs. Good luck to everyone. Keep pushing play!

I survived....

So, today was day one of my new workout regime. I did the 45 minute Turbo Jam Cardio Party. Apparently, I did not die. That in itself amazes me, since that workout takes some endurance. It is fun, though. Chalene makes you want to keep pushing, whereas most instructors make you want to hurl a brick through the television. I managed to do the entire workout, though I did opt to keep it low impact. I am not blind; a girl my size does not need to impact her knees if she doesn't have to. Even doing it low impact, I was still sweating like a hooker in church. I just polished off a plate of celebratory clementines. Now I am just relaxing and enjoying this great feeling that comes with completing a workout. It is almost like a sort of euphoria. I may not always want to workout, but if I push myself and complete the dreaded task, I get to feel awesome. That makes it worth it to me. Also, the more I put into my fitness, the more likely I am to stay on track with my nutrition. Who wants to sweat like a pig for an hour, only to undermine that effort with junk? Hell, we've all done it. I just don't want to anymore. I want to work hard and eat right, so I can see the payoff. I want visible abs. I want a hot body. I want to look cute in my outfits, not hide in them. I want to walk and talk at the same time without getting short of breath. I want to be able to bend over and pick things up without having to lean sideways or squat to avoid my gut. I want to feel sexy again. A girl deserves to feel sexy. Ok, enough whining. I plan to enjoy this good mood. I earned it. From the smell of me, I have also earned a shower. Ugh. Sweaty. Ok, so that was day one. Let's see how the next day goes. Until then....
