My first post

Where do I begin?? About 2 weeks ago, I noticed that my Dad had brought home P90X (an extreme workout program) and I got really excited and told him that I wanted to join him on this crazy journey. So he told me that he wasn't going to start for another couple weeks and he would tell me when he was ready to get started. Fast forward to this past Sunday morning, I am getting ready for church and he comes into my bathroom and all he says it P90X starts tonight.

I instantly had a mix of emotions. I went from excitement, nervousness, and finally FEAR! What if I let my dad down? What if I can’t keep up with the workouts? What if I’m too fat to do any of the workouts? What if I’m just setting myself up for failure?! I fought these fears and insecurities all day until the time came for us to begin. I had no idea I was THAT out of shape but when I completed that first workout, I was so proud of myself; I felt accomplished!!

I want to use this blog as an outlet. I want to be completely honest about this journey that I am taking. If I have a bad day with my diet, I’m going to write it. If my workout is really tough, I’m going to write about it. I’m also going to use this blog to help me to remember what it was like for me to take this journey. I want to look back in 90 days and see how far that I have come.

Girls are not known for telling people their weight --- especially if they are not the size of a twig but I am going to say what my weight is because it is NOT going to stay this way!! I started this weight loss journey at 201 pounds. I am in no way proud of this fact but it will get better! I am determined!! I am attaching a picture to this post and this is from Christmas but my weight has not changed sense then so it will work.

One day at a time…
