So I have been kind of absent from fs recently because I am using my CORE armband and tracking my food and exercise on the accompanying website that syncs with the armband when I plug it in. However, that site does not offer the same kind of community (buddies & forums) as fs, and does not have a journaling section. I think these parts of fs have been and are essential to my success. So, even though I don't get over here three, four, or more times per day like I used to, I have not dropped off the path or quit on myself.
I joined Anytime Fitness last week and am really enjoying having a place to go and a program to follow. The working out gives me so much energy that I come home from the gym and turn on the dvd player and do some Zumba! So working out leads to more working out, who knew?!?! I am also sleeping better not just because I am tired, but also because I am getting healthier. The quality of my sleep is improving even if the quantity is not always as much as I want.
I joined a couple of new challenges that start tomorrow and I am just excited to keep this up! My daughters are starting to notice that my face looks slimmer and there is DEFINITELY a difference in the fit of my clothes. I am trying to hold out for another 10 pounds before I go buy new pants, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I have to pooch out my tummy so that my pants don't fall down. LOL
So I just wanted to spend a few minutes journaling and catching up with the fs community. I never would have gotten this far, so far, if I hadn't started here at the first of the year.
More to come!!!
