First workout

Steve kicked my A$$ today on my first workout. Embarrassed to say that I got lightheaded at the end of the workout and was not able to do my last part. But I did 1 mile in 14 minutes. Ok, no record breaking done. But I finished it and even jogged for 6 minutes. That's pretty huge for me folks!! I am pretty sore tonight. He's having me drink a protein drink after workouts from now on. That is supposed to help with that. 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1 scoop protein powder.

The diet is going great. Eating 5 meals a day with absolutely NO SKIPPING is not easy. I eat at 7am, 10 am, 12:30pm, 3:30 pm and 6:30pm. I premake the meals the night before and pack them in my little cooler. Works GREAT! Did find out I DO NOT like plain organic yogurt. Even with fresh strawberries in it. Going to switch to cottage cheese. I mean, really, that was NASTY!

I will be doing another 30 minutes on the treadmill tonight after a meeting at the kids' school. I'm tellin' ya.....he's trying to kill me! Was also ordered to buy new shoes, which I did on the way home. YEAH Shoe Carnival!!! :)

For all of you that actually are loyal enough to read to the bottom. I am going to do the hardest thing I have ever done. Giving you my beginning weight. It is 236. Steve is pushing me to lose 50 lbs in this contest!!!! I have come to the conclusion that this is just a number. A number. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. My final number is what is important.

REMEMBER: NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!! See you tomorrow! :)
