Feeling Great!!

I have the most exciting news, I HAVE LOST 10 lbs since I started working out!! I have been working out at least 3-4 times a week. I'm currently doing 55 mins on the optical machine, which I burn about 600 calories at a time, plus I'm adding strength training and ab crunches in there.
I work out on average for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
I watched my hubby change before my very eyes. He's 40 lbs lighter than he was last year. He's a slimmer man and he' looks really good.
We both want to take care ourselves and be healthy, and raise Hayden to be as well. We know us losing weight will take alot of work but were willing to do it. Obviously, because we know it's all worth it.
I really want to get this to stick this time and see results, it's very, very important. If anything I look at my little boy and see that I want to set a good example for him, and it's always important no matter what you have on your plate is to take time for yourself, and take care yourself, I'm so thankful that Erik is willing to make that happen for me to get my fitness needs in just as much as I have done for him all these years.

And so it happened.

I had a alot on my plate this semester, Erik had Math and Visual Arts, And I had International Business and Women's Health, the homework was constant and the stakes were high. I need to do well this semester. I wanted so badly to get A's. And it happened. I got them!!! I am so proud of myself. I have to say the only I sacrificed with all of this was not working out, but I really want to get a momentum going and hopefully reach my goal.
My papers each time were awesome. I was worried because for International Business. I had a usual assignment due every week and I didn't get it done because I found out that week my Grandma passed away and then it took a little bit to get back into the swing of things with Spring Break. But, I knew that Grandma would want me forge on, and so I did. I also ended up saying to myself during the time of April that I needed to get back to work, and so I did I've been working out consistently for almost 4 weeks. I am noticing an improvement already I have these pants that are 20W that were snug on me before, now their more loose and the 22's that I have are hanging on me so I almost can't where those no more, the one thing I need to do is get under the mark where I can wear my old clothes again, I have alot of 16 size pants it would be nice to get back into those!! One step at a time I guess.

And, now that the semester is over I'm thinking about the summer and all the wonderful things to look foward too. And also that I need to get busy learning my Math, the plan is take it next semester so I need to keep pushing through, this up hill journey isn't over. I have more schooling and more grades that I have to work really hard for. I do feel at this moment I can accosphish anything. So here's to a great semester may I have more like this!!!
