Is this really the answer???

So, if you have read my blog you know that exercise has always been an obstacle since the very beginning! The sad thing is that since I work part-time at the Y I have a free membership. I started at the Y in November and I'm just starting to use my membership. I added Larry to my membership two weeks ago for a really cheap. He has motivated me to start going to the gym and I have to admit, I'm feeling great!!! I know this is a shock considering I have made many attempts at exercising and have failed miserably. I think it's different this time because I have someone to go with. Larry has been very motivating! I also have a few co-workers who have started taking Zumba classes. I tried it a few months ago and never really stuck with it. Now, however, I am going to two classes a week and I'm loving it!!! I work my butt off and sweat like a man but after the class is over I feel like I've accomplished so much.

My weightloss is also starting to kick in again!!! I have always known that the only way I was going to be truely successful with losing weight was incorporating exercise. It's like something has clicked and I'm finally doing what I should've been doing from the very start. I will be attending a wedding in the fall and hosting a baby shower in the fall as well. I have created a small goal for myself. I'm not going to put a number on how much weight I want to lose by then but I want to be at least one size smaller so I can buy and wear a nice dress for both events. This is an achievable goal and doesn't set me up for failure. I feel like saying that I want to lose 30 pounds by fall sets me up and gets me too focused on the number!

Anyway, that's all for now! Hope you are all healthy and happy!!!
Warmly,
Jenn
