So yesterday I went to the Y and did a whoppin' 12 minutes on the elliptical.  Not long, but I still had sweat pouring off of me and woke up with sore thighs today.  

This morning I went to Zumba.  I wasn't sure that I'd like it since I typically hate aerobics type classes, but this one was really good.  I made it through the whole hour and DIDN'T die.  PLUS...I came home and weighed myself for the first time in a while...I was down a few pounds finally.  I don't know if that's from today or what, but it felt good.

I even called DH at work to tell him that I exercised and didn't die.  LOL

Congrats!  Isn't that the best feeling when you can do something physical and not feel like you are going to die??
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

That elliptical is big time work!  Be proud of those 12 minutes!  And finishing an hour Zumba work out is super impressive.  I've heard its fun if you can mention exercise and fun in the same sentence!

Work it girl!

My thighs are so sore right now I can barely walk.  Oddly, the motion that I would use for jogging doesn't hurt, so I considered running tonight.  Brian wouldn't let me go. LOL  What is this START SLOW?

 believe it or not but exercising becomes addictive! once you start and you see results you won't want to quit! and if you miss some days you will feel guilty and blah! so.....congratulations on starting!
