The Real Deal

Hello my favorite Cheeseburger Dancing Lovers,

The Dreaded BEFORE photo's are here (they were taken after my second ever Zumba class):

  

WOW, I was sooo nervous posting these. But this blog is about being honest, and reaching my goals.

Thanks for all the support,

Frumpy, Fat and Lazy

Hello my Cheeseburger Dancing Loves, 

I've always been "thick" even at my tiniest! But I've never been as heavy as I am now. My Hubby and I had a conversation that sparked my inner thinalator! We discussed being healthy and how with healthy comes skinny. I sat on this conversation for over a week, thinking about it and rethinking about it.

Then I had a family photo shoot! My lovely husband and daughter looked amazing! Magazine worthy and I felt as though I looked tired, frumpy, lazy and FAT! (that's right I said the "F" word!) I was intensely obsessed with how I looked in these pictures. Those pictures did not reflect who I was. Those pictures could not be telling the truth about me. Those pictures weren't who I truly was. So I decided to change my exterior to match my interior. I want a re-do family picture - a year from now, i'm again saying it out loud so I can be motivated to get there!! ACCOUNTABLE!

This was my favorite picture.

Here's my  weekly routine for the next 5 weeks: 

Monday: Weights at Lunch / Zumba in the Evening
Tuesday: Zumba at Lunch 
Wednesday: Weights at Lunch / Evening Walk
Thursday: Zumba at Lunch
Friday:  Rest day
Saturday: Gymnastics with my Daughter/Evening walk
Sunday: Rest day

My focus is on health and energy - and hopefully weight will be a bonus! I've drastically changed my eating habits, from chai lattes, pop, chips and deep fried foods to salad, chicken, water and fish! Someone told me 80% diet 20% fitness. Ladies and Gentleman of the Cheeseburger eating forum I don't know if this is true but if it is, i'm going to be one HOT momma!  I'll have pictures of the "before" body tommorrow!

Want to shout out two of my good friends who are working out with me! CARRIGAN & SARAH! We look ridiculous doing ZUMBA together! (Thank you)

Dancing for Cheeseburgers,
ps: Weights were death! (we did arms & I pretty much can't move them today) Also, going forward i'm going to weigh myself on Mondays and will be doing a weekly update with my weight and speratic updates through out the week, instead of a daily!

Day Two of this Terrifying Journey

Day 2: (Don't worry I'm not going to write every day - Just when I feel like there is something to write about or an update on progress) 

Today is my first day doing weights! Never have I ever done weights in my life! I have this overwhelming fear of weights! (it's weird - I feel like i'm going to look like an idiot) BUT, nothing is stopping me on this terrifying journey to Health. Bring on the weights-I need to get rid of these "Oprah arms" (As my friend said yesterday)  

I've only been on the Dancing for Cheeseburgers train for two days, but have already noticed my feet weren't swollen when I woke up this morning! I think it's because I didn't eat any gluten yesterday! And I drank so much water I thought I was going to pee every minute! I'm going to try that again today and see how I feel in the morning. (WOW - didn't know something so simple could change how you feel pretty much instantly) 

I've had so much support thrown my way already, i'm thankful to all of you who reached out to help, guide and tell me their stories and journeys! I'm honestly, in it to win it! And please keep cheering me on, it's not only motivation it's accountability!

I'll let you know how the weights go...
ps. Not sore from ZUMBA (good or bad?) I was kind of wishing to be sore.

My First

Hello to my new Blogging Family,

I want to hold myself accountable! I'm ready for this Journey - Let's Do This!

I've worked a lot on my internal beauty and feel as though i'm in a place where i'm happy, healthy and comfortable with who I am. Although, my body doesn't match my inside happiness. It looks more like a frumpy potato sack of sadness. I would like to be fit not frumpy! I want my OUTSIDES to match my INSIDES.

I have a wonderful husband who is beyond handsome, fit, funny and smart! I would like to not be the "sweet wife" getting comments like, "oh now I know what he see's in you" I want to be the sweet and hot wife! haha! (Kidding - kind of) I want to be able to go running with him or anything physically active. Right now I feel as though I can't do that. (I hate being limited by my weight)

I'm on a journey to not get skinny but to get healthy! I have a two year old daughter, and I don't want to not be able to do something with her because of my own insecurities or weight issues. I want to live life with her not beside her!

I'm giving in to Health - I'm giving in to Fitness - I'm giving in to External Happiness - I'm giving in!

Starting with Lunch time workouts and ZUMBA!
