So, I've never blogged before in my life. I'm not a big talker but thought this would be good for me to help me stay on track with my goals and help process the feelings, frustrations and challenges I might be going through. Who knows, maybe I'll actually meet my goals and help someone else in the process.
"Before" picture:
I had a goal in my late 30's to look and feel better in my 40's than I did in my 20's. I just turned 41 this past October and unfortunately I'm fatter than I've ever been and I'm tired all the time.
Current
Ht: 5'2"
Weight: 152lbs
BMI: 27.9%
Bust: 39"
Bra Sz: 39D or 38DD (from Victoria's Secret)
Waist: 36"
Hips: 39"

I've been thinking lately about how uncomfortable I am in my clothes, heck in my own skin, and how I hate shopping for clothes because I can't fit into the cute clothes I like. Which led me to think about how I've really let myself go. I told my boyfriend last week when we were out shopping that I'm surprised he's not embarrased to be seen with me. That is pretty sad that I feel that way. I am frustrated with myself that I've let myself go. I mean, I don't look like a slob or anything. I get dressed for church every Sunday but my every day look is pretty plain. I decided I don't want that any more. I want to feel good about how I look. I want my boyfriend to be proud to be with me. Don't get me wrong, he loves me regardless of whether I'm overweight or don't have any make up on, but I want him to be wowed. I want him to say "That's 'my' girl and she's hot!"
So my boyfriend and I got a membership at LA Fitness. I started last Tuesday with my "complimentary" personal training session. Wow! He kicked my butt and it was only for about 20 minutes of exercises. Didn't use any machines, just walking squats and some other things. I started with 30minutes on the treadmill and 20 minutes on the eliptical. My goal is to do 2 hours at least 3 times per week. So far so good :-)
Now that I've gotten off my butt and started sweating, I need to get a plan with goals written down. That's where this blog comes in handy. So here it is:
Long-Term Goals (1 year - December 2011)
- Weight: 115lbs
- Sz 5 jeans
- BMI: 20-24%
- Bust: 36"
- Bra Sz: 36B
- Waist: 26"
- Hips: 36"
- Cholesterol: Total <200
- Toned

Short-Term Goals (6months - June 2011):

- Healthy cholesterol
Short-term Goals (3 month - March 2011):

Well, that's it for now. I'll add on more as I think of it. Remember, I've never done this before, so I hope I'm not too boring.
Blessings & good health to all. :-)
Kelly
