I really did it.
I woke up at 4:15 AM and went and worked out.
Not just worked out but did Boot-camp at The Transformation Center in Huntington Beach, CA . Last week Travis made a comment about having been up at 5:00 AM several times in the last 16 year and never seeing me. Whatever. So I am not a morning person. Lets be clear. I don't have to get up at 5:00am on the week days. So I don't. Well, I didn't. Cause now I do have a reason to be up early. At least for 6 weeks.
Lets talk about the second half of the above sentence "and went and worked out". I don't work out. Ever. Never have. Ever. It isn't in my blood. I wasn't raised by people who "worked out". In fact, the people that raised me avoided ALL strenuous exercise at any cost. Hence why I am over weight and out of shape. When parking my car I search for the nearest parking spot for 15 mins just to not have to walk to far. In the parking lot. I drive my kids to school everyday. Two blocks. So now I am teaching my kids to avoid exercise. Great. They are going to grow up and be unhealthy too. They aren't now. Neither was I when I was growing up. Till I turned 26 or 27. Then I started to to gain weight.
So here I am 41, 207 lbs with four kids who can all out run me. Even the four year old.
At least I am doing something about it at last. Why? Why now? Health. I want to be healthier. I want to feel good and look good. I was once told by someone very dear to me I was too pretty to be over weight. Because he remembers me at 16 and loves me enough to say the truth.
