A New Day!

Well i have been really slacking off on alot of things but most importantly going to the gym. So today i fixed that by working out for about an hour and a half. I did cardio and some ab work because i want my hubby to help me get a good weight routine in before i go in there for that work. So Tuesday and Thursday will be weight day. Today i did a hour on the arch at level 8 interval and that =833 cals. Then i did 3 sets of 25 ball crunches and 3 sets of 15 back raises with 10 lb weight. I am not sure what the back raises is really called in the exercise world but i know what i mean..LOL

Also My hubby Hid my scales for the month!!!! AAAAHHHHH!! The reason for this is... I would weigh myself every day. I was becoming addicted to it. If i seen loss then it would help my mood and if i seen gain then it would hinder it. So i weighed myself Saturday morning for the last time for a whole month. I also took a measurement of my hips and waist for the last time for the month. I even went one step further and tried on the size 16's i have in the closet to see what would happen. I could get them up, buttoned, and zipped BUT they were TIGHT!!! lol So i took a picture of me in them showing that i could not move the waistband with my thumb away from my body. My hopes is that at the end of this month i will be able to move the waistband and ditch the 18's for good.

I am going to be calling around in the next couple days as well to find a gym that has a daycare so i can continue this journey during the summer. The gym i go to now doesn't offer anything like that and honestly it is starting to become extremely boring and the people are becoming rude as well. I know i might find that where ever i go but hopefully with a bigger gym then i will be able to find a machine when i am wanting to use it not when someone decides they are done with it. That and i am starting to realize that a big reason why i wanted to go to this gym was the convience of being in my hometown and the lady that signed me up offered assistance to help me on this journey and she really has yet to do it. When she is in the gym and i ask for help she does give it to me but to get her to be consistent and help me on a regular basis is like pulling teeth. I know losing weight isn't going to be easy but i think if she would have been able to help me then it would have helped. Usually i am the type of person that if i don't feel comfortable asking for help i will either do it on my own by myself or i just wont do it. I was told that i needed to start asking for help and it seemed like when i did no one was around. I think that has had a hold onto my head and heart for a while.

Well i got to get going i need a shower and food.. Oh that is something else i started to do.. I am taking pictures of my meals and going to keep track of them for the month. I am not good at counting calories or writing things down.. But i love to take pictures. Plus i have heard it helps you own what you eat when you do that. So here's hoping all the changes i am doing this month helps!
