A wrench

Crap- I dislocated my knee! I was able to pop it back in thank goodness. I am scared to go to the gym because my knee is sore...sucks :/

Gym status

I know I haven't updated this in a couple days, I need to work on that. I did end up going to the gym after I got my nails done. I also went to the gym yesterday. I really have enjoyed myself, but I need to push harder. I have been doing the treadmill for 40 minutes on "fat burn" and then yesterday I added the bike for 15 minutes. When I leave the gym I feel like I still have more energy. Maybe I should do a class? I wish I had someone to take a class with me...cycling would be awesome (feel the burn) or zumba? I need new shoes for the gym because my feet hurt when I am done working out. Today when I go to the gym I will try that stair machine. I always see super fit people use that machine for like 10 mins then leave. I think that it burns your legs and butt muscles which I definitely can use! I will take a picture of myself in the mirror at the gym, I don't have any big mirrors at home. This way I can track my weight loss with pictures. I can always compare my blog updates with my weight loss to find out what works.

Here we go...

There is so much to say but I am just going to start from here, no looking back. There may be some flashbacks here and there if relevant. After dropping off Josh (the boyfriend) at work I went to sign up at Golds Gym. I walked in with no expectations because of the random yelp.com comments I skimmed. I was immediately sat down with an employee who signed me up for my 7 day pass with no hesitation. Then the prices were not even that bad, no enrollment and $30 a month...nice. So after a quick tour, I was out in 15 minutes-painless. Moral of the story, you never know until you try. I plan to go to the gym after I get my nails done this afternoon, fingers crossed. Right now I am drinking some coffee and watching twilight eclipse.

I am writing this blog to track my progress and maybe inspire someone to try. I am currently 200 lbs, and 5'9'' and 28 years old. My goal is to be 140 lbs by the end of September 2012; that is an average of 10 lbs a month... definitely doable. Why September??? I am going to HAWAII!!!! This will not be my first time in Hawaii, but this time I want to be swimsuit ready. Two years ago I went to Kauai with Josh. Although I had fun, I always felt awkward because of my weight. I want to look and feel amazing so I don't miss out on a thing.

Not too sure what type of food I will be eating, I just want to focus on working out for these next 7 days while I have the free gym pass. I hope to develop a habit of going and keep it up, oh please oh please! And maybe this blog will keep me honest. Its all here as evidence...
