Life is marathon not a sprint


Hey all.
I'm really sorry that I didn't post yesterday. My friend came to visit for the weekend and it just kinda threw a wrench in my routine. I worked out on Saturday before he came but then yesterday just felt like a blah sort of day and I just didn't do it :/ As much as I want to beat myself up, and I already have considerably, I'm just trying to keep in mind that wellness is a marathon not a sprint. My aerobics professor is always telling us that these changes need to be gradual. And as I was reading my health book today (for a midterm tomorrow!) I was thinking to myself, "You know this really should become a part of my life. Not just for a short time." So I know that I'm going to do this program for the 2 months. And after that I'm either going to keep this as a part of my routine or I'm gonna find something to take it's place because there are SO many diseases and health problems that are directly correlated with having a sedentary lifestyle. I want to still be able to ride my bike and be active when I'm in my 50's. So even though I missed yesterday I'll keep with it and realize that I'm not perfect and I'll keep moving forward.

Even when I mess up and eat pizza from Wal Mart, which I already wrote a note to myself to not do again, I can just tell myself that I'll do better. I want to stop drinking Mtn Dew (already on like week 3 of that), less processed food (like pizza), and I need to get more veggies and fruits into my diet.

And even though I didn't work out yesterday and I'm taking today as my scheduled day off 1.) so that I'm still on schedule 2.) because I'm freaking out about all my summer class work and I need today to work and 3.) I plan on heading outside to work on my flower bed so I can get out of this damn house.

With all that being said it is Monday. I promised my weight, measurements, and pictures. I've also decided that I should take pictures from behind because it really irritates me that I have this sidelong bulge underneath my bra :/ I wanna get rid of that.

My current weight is: 185.6 lbs
My current Waist measurement is: 36"
My current Hip measurement is: 42.5"
My current Thigh measurement is: 27"




Guys! I lost 2.8 lbs!!!
I seriously had to check my weight 3 times to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. Nope. That's my weight! And I believe that's my proper hip dimension. I took it at the largest point and that's what I got.

So here's to making progress in this marathon of wellness!!
