I have been neglecting my Blog lately as I have found a new obsession-exercise! I have been using the P90 system for the past 70 days and have also been tracking and limiting my calories...and guess what? It's working! Now, after 7 years of being over weight, listless, sorry for myself and generally embarrassed by my body I am finally losing weight and more importantly, liking how I look.
So far, I have lost 22 pounds. Yes! 22! I am able to wear some size 10 pants which I have not been able to do since 2002, and I now only have one chin!
I am now able to control my eating and am able to stop snacking. Actually, until I made a commitment to myself to stop eating while watching TV, I hadn't realized how much I'd been eating and how much junk I was eating. It was horrifying.
The biggest accomplishment now, though, is that I like exercise. Actually, I love exercise. I have never liked exercising before. I have never been "that girl" who got excited by the purchase of free weights (which I am) or by the prospect of working toward doing chin ups (another goal). In fact, much to my surprise, I now watch infomercials for exercise systems and think "ooh, I want to give that a try after I'm done with P90X!" Yes, all of these changes so far, and I'm not done yet.
