Off to a good start!

Ok, so Monday marked a new start on my quest for health and weight-loss. I can finally make my breakfast smoothies again and pack healthy, nutritious lunches! We're also getting back on schedule for our workouts. We went to the gym last night and I worked mainly my legs and lower back. Tonight I'll be working my arms, shoulders and upper back. Of course we start and end with a little cardio too. I REALLY didn't want to go last night because I was so tired, but I felt really good afterwards. I was still tired, but I felt accomplished even if I didn't give it my all that I usually do. If I am going to beat this weight and get myself into a healthy range, I need to really put some "Oomph" into my workouts. I think that I need to start making myself go on Saturdays too.

I find it easy to stop and talk when I go there with Dyanne. And also going during the week, I'm usually in more of a hurry because I need to get home and cook for the family. If I can go on Saturdays and maybe even Sundays with my husband, then maybe I can not be in such a rush and really spend some focused time. I'm also going to start breaking out the dance video on nights that I'm not going to the gym.

I plan on going to San Diego to see my brother in late July probably and I want to lose as much as possible before then. He wants to take us to Disneyland and the zoo and such, and I want to go and be able to walk a long time without hurting. I'm still not sure if any of my kids will be going with us. I'd like them to because they've never met thier uncle, but my oldest refuses to fly and I'm not sure if my youngest will be able to go or not. We'll see.

Alright, well that's my update for now. .....
