Terrible picture but here are all of my goodies! |
Today I decided I was going to try to dreaded Body Pump class. I read an article in my Women's Health magazine about all the benefits of working out with weights so I thought I would give it a try. It was a hard class but I made it through. The instructor and a couple of the participants were super helpful with helping me get my equipment together. I can't say it was fun like Zumba but it was a good work out and I can see my self going back because I think it will help become stronger and loose more weight. I also would not mind have some nice muscles to show off. I also managed to make it through Zumba after so I did a hour of weight training with and a hour of cardio. I am tired my arms are still very tired and I hope I will be able to lift them tomorrow to wash my hair.
I have a good motivation that has helped me start the weight lose journey that I haven't talked about. I am in a wedding in August and I do not want to be the fat one. That was the beginning motivator for me to start losing weight but now it is more than that. I was the be healthy and strong. I want to be confident and proud of what I can accomplish. My husband and I use to take tons of pictures but over the past year we have seriously declined and I have to say it is partly because I didn't want to see how big I had gotten. There is a picture of me and two of my college roommates at her wedding and I hate to see it, and that makes me sad because it was such a fun night and such and exciting time in her life and I can't stand to see the picture. I don't want to have to go to another wedding like that especially when I am going to be standing up in front of people with tons of pictures to be taken. Thankfully I am already part of the way there and that drive will help me to complete my goal of losing the weight.
White jeans? I am no brave enough for that yet!! :)

Ohh I love the shopping! I want some white jeans, but can't make myself buy them since I just found two pairs of white pants in my closet last week.
