"getting back on the horse"

So its been about a month since I have done any kind of exercise. I got cancelled from work tonight and since its a Monday I though why not. I have a bit of daylight left. So I put Yadi's leash on and we went for a quick run. It was great! I did about 2 miles, but it was fantastic! I also did a little routine when I got home. I forgot how great I feel when I work out. I've been kind of beating myself up lately for just sitting on the couch. This is just what I needed.

About a month ago I found a little site called Pinterest. They have a fitness area on the site. I found a routine that I can do at home really quick. I think it took me about 10 mins to do and my arms, legs, and stomach are sore...which is awesome. They also have some great tips and other great routine. Plus tons of motivating pictures!

I'm plan on keeping track of my weight loss on here. If I make it public then I have to keep up right??
So its Monday November 14 and I believe my weight is 173-175. I want to get to 160. My jean size is 12. I would like to be back in size 8. Here goes nothing!! I'm going to also try to give little tips on how to stay motivated. I'm going to try and adjust my eating habits as well. First thing is first...getting my ass off the couch!

Here is a picture of me today:

Long time no blog

Its been a while since I have wrote. Not a whole lot has been going on in my neck of the woods. I was in Chicago last weekend with my bestie Mel. We had a fabulous time. While we where there my cards won the world series!! I can't really express how exciting that was! The only bad thing was I was not able to stop and see my great friend Kim on out way home. I'm planning on a special trip to see her very soon.

This weekend my family had a surprise birthday party for my grandpa. He turned 80 this year. He was a great man. I'm sure our family wouldn't be what it is without him. I just love him so much! I hope he enjoyed the whole party.

Now I'm just sitting on my couch, watching TV and relaxing. My house is clean for the week. I hope everyone had a great weekend!
