I Never Thought I'd Be Here

So I've always been that girl with the high metabolism....able to keep a coke bottle figure by eating whatever I wanted and working out once a quarter.  UNTIL I TURNED 25.  I stepped on a scale a few months later and saw a number that seriously made me want to cry....165. I don't think I ever told any body that.  To some that may not even be a lot but to someone who has for 25 years been 120lbs and less that's a major jump.

I have tried so many times to workout and develop a healthy lifestyle but I could never keep with it. Resolution after resolution...disappointment after disappointment. Until recently!  In the last 30 days or so that has been a major change in me attitude towards working out. I love it!  Like seriously love it.  I have gotten to the point where I work out at least 5 or 6 days a week and I go crazy when I don't get a work out it.  And I'm so proud of this accomplishment.  And I've been much better about eating healthy and drinking water. I used to drink maybe a glass of water a week. I'm not perfect with it but I have been getting at least 60 ounces in daily. I just made it to where its the only thing I drink.

I recently started doing Insanity....and I must say its INSANE. I'm finished day 6 today. I'm not really doing the 60 day challenge completely.  I tend to crosstrain with some of my other favorite video trainers like Tiffany Rothe and Denise Austin but I'm finding that after just a few days of Insanity, workouts that were hard for me in the past are ridiculously easier. 

Needless to say I am about 153 lbs.  I seem to have reached a plateau and have vacillated between 151 and 155 though.  It can be discouraging stepping on the scale daily and seeing it go up from the day before.  I really need to stop weighing in daily.  But it kinda pushes me to do more.  I can see changes in my body as far as toning and flattening my stomach though so that's exciting.

So anyway, I just really needed to journal about this experience. I'm excited about where I am and even more excited about where I'm going.  My boo and I are going to Vegas in 15 days and I'm planning on wearing some tight dresses and looking superdidooper fly.  Then we hitting up the Bahamas sometime next year....gotta get my BahamasBikiniBody!!!! My goal is to be rocking my first bikini this summer.  Everyday I'm getting one step closer!
