The Skinny Jeans Journey

My skinny Jeans do not fit anymore and I honestly feel its time I shed a few pounds.  

I have always tried to exercise but have never tried sticking to a proper routine or diet.  I am not much of a eater but I love me a nice delicious meal. Yummy. I started noticing that my ankles were a bit swollen at the end of the work day and my knees hurt at times and a check up at the doctor’s office revealed that I was putting on a bit too much weight. A I said my skinny jeans does not fit anymore isn’t that enough checks to say I am expanding. It’s not a little bit its too much the skinny jeans cant get pass the knees. 

My quest to lose weight led me to several websites with different diets and exercise for me to try out. I must admit I was a bit petrified at first but I kept on reminding myself that I had to do this for myself so I got home and started with my work out video and man was I pumped and full of energy.  The kids joined me but they were getting in the way at times which got me irritated at first but I then I smiled and thanked them for their motivation.  You know this reminded me of what they say about a family that works together stays together, or is it one that prays together stay together? Hmmm either way we were working and praying together right.  Thirty (30) min of cardio and I was so pumped that I grabbed my sneakers and did a brisk walk to my friends house for her to join me in a walk/run which consisted of a few laps inside our complex.  We were so inspired to lose the weight that we didn’t even realize we actually did a 5k . Wow I felt great already. I went to bed with just a cup of tea that night and decided if I was going to loose weight I had to do it on my terms and that is exactly how I will approached the months ahead.
