Okay, so I've been at the workout thing now for 2 1/2 months. The workouts are going great! But I'm officially convinced that exercising alone is not enough. I actually did this on purpose...I know that proper nutrition is about 80% of the battle, but since I started working out at the beginning of the holiday season, I thought that if I could not conquer nutrition right away, at least I could form the exercise habits and hopefully not gain the 5 - 10 pounds that inevitably comes with holiday eating. I can say with extreme satisfaction that I did not eat very well, but I did not gain extra weight. So exercise does count - especially in the world of maintaining weight and feeling great.
January is upon us, and now I am ready to commit to an extensive lifestyle change. I have a goal. I've written it down. Lose 110 pounds by the beginning of October (my birthday). That gives me 10 months. I've been working out consistently and now it's time to incorporate eating healthy into my world of fitness. Six smaller meals a day every four hours. I'm loaded with daily vitamins, essential fatty acid (fish oil), and a fat burner supplement. I'm loaded with ready-to-drink protein shakes and planned out meals. I realize you do not have to have all of this to"get healthy" but I'm committing 100% to my Best Bod.
Okay, now for the embarrassing part. I'm going to post pictures! I will post a before picture on here shortly. I've taken the picture and it's not pretty, but my plan is to use this to keep me motivated. Bikini Bod here I come...

GO mindy. I love working out now! I'm not super skinny, but feel better and I can keep up with my four kids. After our last,Jack, my weight was out of control! A year later I have lost 67 lbs. It's been easy to get rid of clothes in my closet because more than half of my closet is too big for me now.Ya! Good luck!!!
