Woke up yesterday sore from the workout on Tuesday. It took two days but the pain came. I was excited about the boxing conditioning class I had planned on taking last night. But I got a last minute invitation to cake and ice cream for the kids. I had planned on stopping by for a few minutes and still making it to my class. Needless to say I didn't make it. Success in that I didn't eat any cake or ice cream. Go me!
My hips were hurting so badly and I couldn't figure out why. Then I remembered I was trying to be cute and jumped on the trampoline Tuesday after my workout. I still feel the pain but it's that good kind of pain. The pain in my arms is just pain.
Well, the Wii this morning tells me I'm weighing in at 168.5 lbs. Progress. Can't be mad at that. Can't wait for Zumba tomorrow morning.

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
So I started exercising early. Why put of today...yada yada yada. I used to like exercising. The burn the next day was addictive. Not so much now. I took a Body Worx Express class. Yea, an express visit to the morgue because I liked to have died. My body will thank me some day if I keep it up. I'm tired, sore and don't feel like making dinner for anybody..

Introduction
I've noticed that quite a few of my friends have blogs and I've read them thinking I have thoughts I should put on paper or online. I thought about my loc journey, being a teacher, mother, wife, life in general, etc. I have settled that I will write about my health and fitness journey instead.
I was inspired by a colleague that has done this and decided why not me. I can be open and honest. I'm not one to keep things to myself and pretty comfortable being an open book.
Sooo, here's my story. Growing up I was small. Always had thick legs and a tail that was large in proportion to the rest of my body. Amazingly, because of this, I considered myself big. It wasn't until I reached where I am now that I realized I was small. Anywho, I graduated from college and was 120 - 125 pounds. I had my daughter 8 months later and reached 175. I was amazed that I was able to carry that much weight. After I had her, I got back down to 128 just in time for my wedding. 8 months later, my son entered the world. I don't remember my weight but I do know that I was able to get back into my clothes.
Years have passed and a few pounds here; a diet there. Fast foward to today, 7 years after the birth of my son and I weigh in at 172, at according to the Wii. I don't own a scale because I don't like them. The numbers play with my head. The focus should be on health and feeling better in my clothes, right?
I believe that about sums it up. I will take measurements and post them. I am starting this journey, with a change in diet this week and will start exercising next week. Wish me luck.
