Getting it Done!

Gym Membership - Done
Weights at the Gym - Done
Cardio at the Gym - Done

I guess that's better than just getting the membership!
Slowly finding a routine to the new schedule.

Craziness!

Well...
I'm moved.
The 5K came and went without my participation.
I'm down another 10-15 pounds in the past month - muscle loss - :(
After a month off, workouts are a priority once again!

Yes life has been cRaZy this past year, but even CrAzIeR the past few months. Priorities have changed, been re-arranged and once again re-arranged AGAIN. However, it appears that some "routine" is falling back into place in my daily life between working the 2 jobs, fitting my workouts in and finding my place in my new personal life.

Got to the gym Tuesday with *my beau* and after wanting to try the place out a few times before deciding where my membership would be, I say I am "IN". So hopefully we can get back in tonight and I will just sign up!

It felt so good to get back into the gym. Lose myself in repetitions, but also I amazed myself. Amazed myself with how comfortable I was following my notebook routine from one of my many workouts with Jess. I am in no way done with Jess... little does he know. :) As I have a few more sessions sandbagged and want to try this on my own for a time, then get back in for a few new routines to add to my notes along with the "final tweaks" prior to the wedding which is set for 11/2/07 along with losing what could hopefully be the final few.

The final few? .... believe it or not, I am only 30 pounds from my goal weight! AMAZING... from my all time high I am down over 60 pounds!!! Now who ever thought I could do it? Certainly not me, however this is it for me... NEVER AGAIN!..... and yes it is me writing this Jess... NEVER AGAIN!!!

Sure I have some work to do from the past few weeks off, and my body is feeling the "rigor mortise" set in after so many weeks off from the gym. But I feel and see the muscle loss in my mid section the most! Not in my clothes, as I am still losing inches and can't keep anything on, but I am not as toned as I was 4 weeks ago either.... so no excuses..... I've had a month to settle into new routines and I am back at it...

First step.... getting that membership tonight!

My goodness, only 30 pounds left to go - who ever thought?
