Happier Me

Sean fixed my car. It was running poorly and he changed the coolant temp sensor and the oil twice (yes, it was that bad). Now, my baby starts okay and it actually purrs like a kitten! It was the best valentine's present I could have ever asked for!

I have gone to the gym - Anytime Fitness - at least 9 times over the last two and a half weeks. I know that isn't a ton, but for a very unfit me...it is a vast improvement. I have lost some weight already, but the best part is that I FEEL better overall. I am going to keep this up. My goal is 3x per week at the gym, but I think I might up it to 4 or 5 since I actually (I know this is strange to come from me) ENJOY it! I do 35 minutes on the elliptical and 10-15 minutes of upper body weight lifting every time! And yesterday, I actually went so fast on the elliptical that I had sweat dripping from my chin...I heard that is a good sign! :P

Hi, my name is Emily.

I have exercised like crazy for 30 minutes a day for the last three days. I will be exercising again this afternoon AND officially joining a gym tomorrow morning.

This is like AA to me...something I have needed to do for a long time and am finally getting the courage to do.

No need for kudos, I just needed it to be said...for ME. If anyone else wants to join me: T/R 12:45 and F 9:30 is my official work-out schedule.

Happy week everyone. I have been busy and trying to work my butt off to get all caught up at home and work. I am also trying a new routine...I will explain this later (but wish me luck).
