So, I Started Exercising...

Yep, yep...I am on the New Year's Resolution bandwagon to exercise! I have been needing to for awhile, but have used the old adage, "I will wait until after the holidays." Well, I defied that adage this year and started on December 3oth...2 days before New Year's Day! Uh-huh. I can feel it, this year is going to be different. LOL!

I have never been one of those people who have significantly struggled with my weight, but I certainly yo-yo. And that is what I want to stop. I really want to find a balance, and be confident enough to know that I can stay there. So earlier this year, I started watching what I eat, and it worked! I dropped 15 pounds by counting my calories on the Iphone Lose It! App. It is super easy...really!


But to my demise, I plateaued and have not been able to lose a pound since! So here comes this !@#$%^&*() Jillian...I just LOATHE LOVE her!

Let me just say, because it needs to be said, she is kicking my BUTT! I am only on stinkin' Level 1, and last night, Day 5, was the first night I made it through the level without having to stop! WTH! I am, however, able to tell a difference in my waistline. That pudgy, marshmallow stuff I had hanging over my pants is starting to dwindle! Whoot! Whoot! But the pounds have yet to start dwindling...I am being patient though.

Well, just thought I would share. And I figure, the more people I tell, the less likely I am to ditch this effort to be healthy and exercise in 2012! Thanks for listening and I would love to hear what you are doing to stay healthy?

Happy Wednesday!

I have this DVD and was pretty faithful with it back in the summer. But I've slacked off and need to start it again. It's HARD, isn't it?! She really does kick your boo-tay...but I guess that's kinda the point. Those push-ups kill me! Hmm...I should really start this up again. ;)

Good on you Frances! I'm impressed! I'm another on the "get healthy" NY resolution trail....I've snavelled my daughter's Wii Zumba. After the first 5 mins my legs were jelly - that was just the WARMUP! Next workout I'll be thinking of you having it out with Jillian.

Yepee! Well done! Keep up the grate work. I am keeping my goals low key this year. But I have already lost 22pounds since Dec 29th - ok, ok, I admit it, there was a baby involved as well. I still have 11 pounds to go, but I am confident this will be gone in a few months (she hopes)
