Hobby: on Physical Fitness and Health

So, I am now 26.... and getting your shape back after having a child, is not an easy task. But, its possible (I think).... :)   Well, my awesome mom got me a membership to Iron Works for Christmas. Isn't that the greatest gift. I thought so. This was me on Christmas.... Wow, Yuck is all I will say... 

So, I started two days after Christmas... and have been working out like CRAZY (at least to me). Working out before in dance days.... wasn't going to cut it. So, I bumped it up. On a average week, I do Zumba 2x a week, Boot camp on Saturday mornings (which is SOOO hardcore and tough, but for some reason, I love it), and work out with weights/ running 3-4 days. Some weeks more, some weeks less...

Well a month a half of working out... and I have went down about 3-4 pant sizes....
One Month and a week and a half later.....



So, I know I have a long ways to go .... to be fit and healthy, but I feel I am off to a good start. No more fast food, late night snacks, 7 cups of Dr. Pepper a day. I am eating healthier (note I said healthier... and not fully healthy). I have never been one to like things that are good for me. But, I am trying.
Drinking lots of water, and less caffeine. 

Yes, it is extremely hard: Being a full time mom, owning a business, being a wife, daughter, friend, maid....
But, I am doing this for me! I want to be in my prime when Taylor is growing up. Looks like I gotta be able to run fast to keep up with her...lol
So, I wake up extra early, work out..... it means spending less time relaxing all really (less time to lay around at night and watch tv).... But, so worth it.  We shall see if it pays off this summer! :) Hope so!


So, I actually love Iron Works. Thus the reason, I do lots of PR for them! :)
