24 Fit Rocks!!!

In an effort to jump start my weight loss, I joined a 4 week program in town call 24 Fit Camp.  At first I was completely unsure, but thought what the hell do I have to lose, right? 

So on Sunday I went and got weighed in. What an eye opener! I weigh 187lbs...there I said (wrote it) out load.  EEK!!!!  A few years ago I worked my ass off...literally.  Using the South Beach diet I lost 26lbs to get to weight of 150lbs.  South Beach is supposed to be limited carbs...well guess what? I cannot maintain that.  I love pasta, and bread, and potatoes, and rice, and WINE!  So slowly, but surely the weight has been coming on, bringing me here.

Monday was our first session.  We had to run a mile for time, 1 minute sit ups, 1 minute push ups.  I was terrified, but I did it.  That feeling was awesome!!!



It's a little blury,but that's me (in the grey) running my mile.


I ran my mile in 13.3 minutes, not bad for a non-runner.  I did walk a little, but ran most.  I did 25 sit ups, and 20 push ups.  At the end of the 4 weeks we will do it again.  I hope to be able to report that I improved in all areas. 

This is an awesome group of women (yes, all women).  They rock my socks off!  I'm so glad that I joined this group.  I'll keep you posted on our progress. 

For now...have an awesome weekend!!!!!!!!

Ummm...Hello

My first blog post...EEK!!!!  I'm a little scared.  What to write about?  You know what, why pick 1 topic?  You're gonna get them all.  This is my life folks and you get to come along for the ride.

Right now I'm trying to lose weight.  I'd like to lose about 40lbs, but today it's not as much about the number as it is the way I feel and how my clothes fit.  I'm currently signed up for 6 work outs a week and I'm trying to count my calories.  Since I just started (again) on Monday, we'll see how it goes. 

This is me and my baby Zuzu

This is me 2 years ago, but I really love that shirt. Someday I'll fit in it properly.

 

 

So, what else?  Oh yeah, I'm a mom and a stepmom.  I have awesome kids. You'll hear more about them some day.

I'm a reader with a never ending "to read" list.  I think Jen Lancaster is funny as shit and I run to the book store everytime she has a book out.  Well, I'm one behind but that's because my sister "who rocks" is going to read it and we are going to trade.  I'm a total nerd.  I love Harry Potter and Twilight.  I don't believe you have to pick one over the other.  I am perfectly happy to go from one marathon to the other.  They make me happy. 

I'm sure there's more, but we will figure it out as we go along!!!!  Hope someone hops on this journey with me.

I'm out!
