Yikes!!!

The other day, a friend and I met up for coffee like we usually do. She just got married and was showing me pictures from her wedding when we came on a picture of me and her... All I can say was I guess I never realized how over-weight I am. I know that I could stand to loose some weight, just never realized how much...

Skinny in School

It's hard when you use to be a really skinny girl in highschool, then of course the freshmen 15 plus the weight gained from birthcontrol. In total, I've gained about 40 to 50 pounds since highschool. Yikes!!!! And it doesn't help that I'm a tall 5'0". Off to the internet I went. I looked at my BMI (body mass index) and according to it, I'm at 32.2.... Obese.... Talk about a downer!! To put this into perspective, I weigh about 165 right now and I need to be at about 110-120. I need to loose 40 to 50 pounds. My problem is I can't seem to stay motivated at home, so I started looking into gyms. I have a Curves here, plus there is one in Long Beach where my fiance's family has a beach cabin. Seems like the most logical one, plus it's catered specifically to women and they have Zumba!! I've always wanted to try Zumba :-) I'm going to call and figure out how much a membership will cost, then I'll go from there. I don't have a lot of money to spend each month, but if it means I'll stay motivated and loose weight then I'll definitely try it. 

The Reasons

You need to set goals and have reasons why you really want to do something (or so I've heard..). Mine:

1. To be healthy

2. To feel sexy again (don't get me wrong, I do now but I'd feel a lot better)

3. For my fiance

4. To prove that I can do something I put my mind to

5. For my wedding!

6. For myself

Wish me luck!!!
