I originally started this blog to chronicle my weight loss and how I've gone about it. However, I realized that would be interesting to no one except me so I plan to include that along with happenings in my life and the life of my family.
Today was Day 4 of me doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred:
So far so good. Day 1 I was dying, even though I didn't even have the weights yet. She has two other women that do the exercises with her. Anita does the modified versions of some of the exercises and Natalie does the more difficult versions. I of course have been following Anita. Even following her it's tough. I have never been one for exercise. I've tried various exercise routines with no results. We have an elliptical machine that is collecting dust regrettably. When we first got it I was using it almost every day and expected results sooner. I didn't lose any weight in the first month and was so irritated. I tried walking but realize I'm not a cold weather outdoors person. Fact. A workout video seemed perfect. I will continue to chronicle my results here. As of Thursday November 8 I weigh 175 pounds. My goal is to lose 40 pounds(or more) but I would be happy with 40. Positive thoughts. My real motivation I admit is clothes. As much as I never buy clothes for myself, I love them. I want to look good in them and have very specific tastes. If I could I would wear vintage clothing or vintage inspired clothing every day. I think there is a great way to look modern without looking like you're wearing a costume. My new favorite websites are www. Modcloth.com. Below is one of their dresses that I want and frankly want to look nice in. My current body is not ideal.
It's so pretty. I love the retro look. I don't like the price tag although if I can afford it someday I'll probably buy my clothes from here and by then hopefully my waist will be much smaller for my petite 5'1'' frame. There are so many full figured women that look gorgeous with their curves and rounder faces. I don't think my features really are made for that honestly.
Enough about my weight. I'll continue on with that progress.
