Hello there!

Greetings from my introspective world. I love writing, the way words can take people to other places and even change lives. I am in a flux of change myself, as I work to make my life and the lives of my family healthier and happier I am chronicling just a little bit of it. If I make you smile, great. If I inspire you, even better!

March Check in + 15 days

I know that I'm delayed doing this, but I've had some fantastic company this past month and it totally let me slide past the calorie counting, weight loss, and everything else. I'm not going to be too hard on myself, March was a fun month with a lot of food and I was out of the gym for a whole week due to an upper respiratory infection.

So where am I? I weigh 186.5 which means I've gone up. My bmi is 30.9, but my body fat (which takes into account muscle weight) is 28%, this means that I am comfortably in the "healthy" category for body fat. I'm not going to complain! My waist is 33.75" and my chest is at 43". My hips are 44.5". That vavavoom kind of sexy is definitely on it's way. Most of my clothes are larges and I'm comfortably into size 14's.

The biggest thing I have changes this month is my workout. I am really beginning to hit the weights. I've dedicated myself to twice a week at least. I also have been swimming once a week. The first week it took me 25min to swim a half mile, the last time it took me 20min. Every morning I am itching to get into the gym and within hours of getting out, I'm thinking what should I do tomorrow? I don't want to plateau so I'm starting to hit the bikes and treadmill instead of the elyptical. Right now, my arms are tired from the weights so I better stop typing and go rest them.

Only thing left to say is my hubby won't know what to do with himself come R&R!
