The Start of Something New

I have a confession to make. I have dieted off and on. I have lost weight and gained weight back. I have exercised some days and some days I have avoided anything remotely close to exercise.

BUT THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS.

Today is the official beginning of a lifetime of healthy choices. Today my sister and I did a modified version (for me at least) of the 99 workout (below)

Now to tell you how I modified it:

• Jumping jacks are my least favorite form of cardio. In fact, I did little cardio in this workout entirely. While my much fitter sister did jumping jacks, I either grooved to our workout music (using a few zumba moves that I remember) or did more crunches or more leg exercises.
• Where the 99 says leg lifts, my sister and I did different leg exercises each time we went down to another number.
• Lastly we did not run 11 minutes at the end, but we did make sure to stretch out after!

Today's dinner was another healthy choice. Tonight we had grilled chicken, garlic asparagus, salad, and chopped vegetables. Then for dessert (because I have quite the sweet tooth), I had a few small pieces of dark chocolate.

Now, I'm hoping this blog is going to keep me accountable and to hopefully help others who may be in my situation. Finally, I am going to leave you with the stats.
