Hello one and all. I stopped posting, I stopped reading even, but I didn't stop working out. However, the working out I have done have been to no avail. I got a $50 gym membership for 1, thats right 1 month. And I went a total of 11 times. Waste of money? Duh.
When I look in the mirror, I see me. The me I see every day. Am I happy with what I see? No. Did I think it was that bad? Not so bad. Then, we got a digital video recorder, and I saw for the first time what the people around me see.
Folks, I am ashamed, and embarrassed. But, because of this revelation, I am back for the support and much needed constructive critisism that I only find here.
Last night, Billy Blank's Tae Bo Boot Camp was purchased, along with a timer. I'm starting from scratch at 10 minutes a day until I can do more. So, here I am on the 6th of October, 10 days away from my 24th birthday, at 5ft3, and 255lbs. By Christmas, with your encouragement, and my determination to change(if you only knew how seeing myself effected me..ugh) my goal is to be at 235lbs. Glad to be back. :love:

I wish you the best of luck. It sounds like you are very committed to making changes in your exercise goals and overall lifestyle. Exercise is like anything else in life, if you neglect to make it a priority it will never become one. I wish you all the luck and ever little bit helps when you are starting back at a program.

What diet are you going to do?
I don't have that Tae Bo but I do have several others - the hour long ones really make me sweat alot so I love them (when I'm done)
that is a good goal & you can do it
I'm starting over myself if you want to talk you can AIM me ReddyRd5 - it is amazing what seeing yourself can do to make you get back into living right

Our diet won't change that much...thats the one thing I have really stuck with in the however many years I've been lurking around. Things were very difficult for a while, but for the past 4 months or so, the diet has been chicken,lean steaks,pork roasts,tuna,lots of veggies,fruits, and the occasional whole wheat pasta(still trying to get used to that one as a die hard pasta fan)
We are going to try something different with our eating..not so much for weight loss, but to make our grocery use more efficient. Have you heard the saying "Eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince,and dinner like a pauper"? For my hubs, getting in small meals throughout the day is hard(carpet cleaning doesn't allow for very many breaks)so we started today with having a bigger breakfast,a medium lunch, and then a smaller but still balanced dinner. I will still get my snacks in between meals though. : )

You already blew out your wraps.
Your towel cant absorb any more sweat.
Theres puke on the floor.
Your partner is passed out.
Theres a crowd gathering...

I am glad to be back. It's amazing the difference in my motivation simply from being healthy minded through the day by reading posts.
I did Tae Bo on saturday(Sunday was rest) and let me tell ya....I only got about 7 minutes in before I felt like I was going to die, and now my legs are killing me from doing those squats...but what a great feeling eh?!
