10 weeks strong!!

I can't believe that I've been at this for 10 weeks! That is crazy!

Today I decided to do some interval running from Hasfit.com. I've be doing the 30 days to get in shape challenge now, but usually about every other day or as a supplement to my dance workouts. Running has always been a daunting task to me, not because I think I can't do it. It really sounds fun. But for a top heavy girl such as myself, I needed to make sure I had the proper clothing and support first. I remedied that last week so I will be sneaking some interval running in here and there to keep things interesting. Dancing still remains as my favorite exercise to do as I enjoy it and  can keep at it for long periods of time. I do my own freestyle dancing as well as some youtube zumba and dance videos. Here's one that I've been enjoying regularly:


One thing that I've learned in this process is that although my progress in weight loss seems slow, my body is improving from the inside out. Last week's doctor visit yielded encouraging results. My borderline high blood pressure of last year was perfect this time around. Cholesterol levels were excellent and my blood sugar level was great. Overall I do feel better and have heaps more energy. Thank you Jesus!

8 weeks down

I am so thankful that God has gotten me this far. I just began my 9th week today. All records are smashed. I've never lasted this long. I feel pretty good too. I don't feel as tired as I used to during the day. When I go out to do things, I don't get out of breath just from walking. All in all I feel pretty good. Sore, but good. I've come very far and it's all thanks to God. :)
