I am a 35 year old teacher with a husband, 3 kids (2 teens and a 9 year old), 2 dogs and a cat. I work full time as an elementary school teacher, cheer coach and yearbook advisor. I have very little time to workout. However, the other day I went to the doctor. I am 5 foot 4 and the last time I went to the Dr. I was about 130lbs. I knew I gained a little weight because 1/2, well 3/4, okay ummm MOST of my pants don't fit anymore.
I admit i've become sedintary. I am lazy, just pure and simple and I've been living off of McDonalds for the past few years. Anyways, the Dr. weighed me and I was 170lbs! HOLY CRAP! WHAT? Your scale is broken doc??? Right????
However, my fellow readers, nope it is not broken it was just right (just like baby bear in the story). Yep just right and I - I was leaning toward becoming fat ole papa bear right before my eyes.
So yes, I accept that I am overweight, even thought I don't want to accept that. I also realize that there is no majic pill to help me....nope It's just fat ole me to help...well..me.
Okay, here is the down and dirty. My flab hangs in my lap, like a puppy. Yeah, it sits on my lap and it's so gross. I hate it but I was apathetic towards "what can I do." My solultion? P90X.
Yep, I bought it. I know it's going to kick my butt. I am having a hard time figuring out when a good time to work out is. In the AM when it's quiet in the house but I have no energy or in the PM after everyone is in bed...however I have no energy then either.
I guess I just need to suck it up and get some energy! At the same time I am trying to quit caffeine, which for me, is like an addict quitting crack. I live on the stuff! I must drink 6-8 diet cokes a day. I have switched to tea and water, however, I still have to have a bit of the caffeine or I get a really bad headache.
Okay well we will see what happpens. I am going to read through the P90X stuff and then I guess since I just told the world I am going to do this... then... I am going to do this.
I want to take a picture everyday and then at the end post it on youtube in time lapse to see how I did. Okay, it's 2 AM and I have to teach school tomorrow so I am signing out of this day 1 fitness blog. Am I crazy?
