i started this blog ages ago with no idea what i wanted to do with it, for now i am going to use it primarily as a health and fitness blog.
so the journey starts here...
Im overweight, i have been most of my life, except for a time when i was on drugs. (real drugs..) the lowest i ever weighed was 135, when i was doing coke like a fiend in my late teens. my highest was during my pregnancy with my second, when i ended up weighing 240 when i delivered. i got back to 220 and stayed there for about a year until i was hospitalized for issues with my galbladder and forced to go on a very low fat diet. now i am 192 lbs... but i am still terribly out of shape. so here i am, starting over again.
my goal is to get healthy. that's it. to me that means loosing some weight, getting stronger, and feeling better both physically and emotionally. so right now my "work out" routine consists of dancing like an idiot every time i cook for my family, doing a bollywood video, and a circuit that includes squats, lunges, shadow boxing, and working with my kettle bell. more will come later in the spring when i can actually take the baby out side in the morning for walks/jogs, and hiking at the nature park...
oh, i forgot... my long term fitness goals are to run in the color run, and the zombie dash (saint louis... hey, a girl can dream lol) and to feel good enough to join a roller derby team
so thats it for now, off to fix myself some kind of soup for lunch... which means more dancing. ;)
*edit i ended up riding my stationary bike for 30 minutes, and doing a circuit in my basement after dinner... if only i can keep that up every night!
