Workout Progress
In August 2007 I joined my local YMCA. You may be saying, ‘yeah, so what’ but it was a big step for this exercise hater. I lost my weight by eating healthy and "staying active". What’s staying active you ask? Well I answered it way back in this post, to sum it up I meant getting out, going for walks, dancing with the toddler and over all just moving more. That worked for me (I did lose almost 70lbs!) but I feel a consistent workout routine with weight training is a healthier way to go. In the past, I was never able to stick with a routine for very long, life always seemed to get in the way and I didn’t make working out a priority.
On this page I plan to track my workout progress much like I do with my weight. My philosophy is to stay true to the journal and that’s exactly what I plan to do. So stop back and check up on me now and then. If you notice a break in my progress by all means give me a virtual kick in the butt. I’ll probably need it!
