I Did It!!!!

So, today I did it!  I am soooo extremely proud of myself!  What did I do you may ask?  I worked out!  Since starting my weight loss journey, I had mostly focused on the food part of the plan and not really the exercise part.  Part was that I wanted to use it as a way to break a particularly nasty plateau and part of it was so that we could get some remodeling done!  Well, the remodeling is no where near done, but at least I've managed to eek out a space for my treadmill. :D  So, I used it today for a whole 25+mins.  I just happened to have the time and I took advantage!  Then tonight while my son was in the tub and happily playing and generally making a mess (LOL), I decided to drag out my floor mat and do the Flexibility Training I had recorded on the DVR!  My poor body was creaking and popping, but it felt GREAT.  I mean, I knew stretching was good for you, but this made me feel so wonderful!  I am actually looking forward to doing it again.  It incorporated a few yoga/pilates moves, so I think that it will not only help to relieve stress, muscle tension, and give me my flexibility back, but it will also help to strenghten some of those muscles that don't usually get worked.

Overall, feeling great and feeling like I'm doing great.  I've been modifying and tweaking my plan a little, but nothing drastic.  I'm just not being so nit picky but still sticking it.  I don't want to lose sight of my goals!  However, not really expecting a loss this week since I just started working out again.  Seems like right after I start, my body retains a LOT of water.  So, as long as I maintain, I will be very happy.  :D  I just hope that I start to see changes in the new few weeks in the way my body looks.  Of course I want to see that darn scale move down, but I'd REALLY like to see some not so pretty areas start to tone and shape up.  That's been the worst about losing weight but not working out -- seeing all the stuff get smaller yet slightly saggy!  Xo

Well, it's after 1AM and I need to get to bed.  Stuff to do tomorrow!
