Day 5: Weight

 So I have gone years without weighing myself because I don't like to be caught up on a number and like I said, I don't think I am fat.  I started working at a job around Thanksgiving that was very physically intensive at times and I did feel my size 4 jeans get more loose and me begin fitting once again in my size 2's. That made me happy and I took it as a good sign. After doing the Cindy Crawford video 2 days in my first 5 and then running on one of the days and then doing another work out video I found online. I knew that I had to get to the gym. I also knew I had to get a basis of where I was starting at so I could even measure my progress. I am cheap and since I didn't know how long this work out commitment was going to last. I did not want to go through the trouble of finding a gym that I liked near me and signing up for a trial period and then being hassled for payment and or bing stressed that I was losing the membership soon and I HAD to get there and use it. Then I remembered there was a gym on the Air Force base that was FREE! It wasn't as close as I liked and it wasn't open as long as I liked (it's not 24 hrs) BUT you can't beat free! so I went on Day 5 to the gym and worked out and got my weight. I was actually surprised by that number. I thought I would be in the 105-110 lbs range. Not too shabby still. I still don't have any of my other measurements.

and another to make you laugh!

So I picked this month to take on this challenge because I have a vacation in April in Florida! I HAVE to look better in a swimsuit. It happens to also be my birth month. So excuse my language but I want to be shit hot for a 35 yr old. I turn 35 on March 16th...mid month so I don't even have a full month to look shit hot nor do I expect to but there is still some benefit. If I get more in shape by then then I could go out and dance the night away and actually be able to stay up later because I am not as tired, last longer on the dance floor and look better while I am out there. I posed this way because I have seen a lot of my nieces and nephews and younger cousins in their 20's posing like this in the bathroom mirror and I am basically making fun of it! lol

 For my first night I decided to do my Cindy Crawford work out video. I had worked a full day from 8-5:30 pm and I was not looking forward to getting in my car and going somewhere again. I actually like the video even though I hardly have used it in the last 3 yrs. It's not cheesy and it's all and all a very good work out that works every part of the body. I want to have shaped arms and flatter abs and less "jiggly" all around....buttocks, thighs, arms, and belly. I guess that was my original and very basic goal...to workout for a month and have less jiggly anywhere.

In the Beginning...

 I decided to VERY briefly talk about my Exercise challenge. My challenge is to exercise for 1 month and that is it. I want to get through the month FIRST or at least most of it before I can say I will continue. I did this challenge because mainly I knew I needed to get toned. I still don't think I am very fat. I knew I had a belly from giving birth and I knew I had a small hernia in my abdomen from giving birth. The doc at the Military hospital said it wasn't bad enough for them to repair and that I could still exercise with it. I was told that about 2 yrs ago and just never took them up on it. lol So here is a picture of me in my basement spare bedroom because that is where I have a full size mirror. I need to paint that room but it's not a priority and I still haven't found "the" paint color.
