Healthy Life Challenge

Okay, so I have been slacking on posting here. We have a new challenge going. Instead of being a competition we are just continuing with the support group thing.

I am sore today and was most of last week. We have been faithfully working out at the gym. My favorite thing to do is swim there, so I am trying to get in at least a mile a week. That equals two 25 minute sessions for me. I don't work until 10 in the morning twice a week, so it works really well for me to go on those mornings and then just get ready for work at the gym after my swim. I also love lifting weight with Shawn. I find myself laughing because we take turns on the same machines and my weight that I use is like maybe a third of what Shawn does. Then I realize that it totally doesn't matter how much I can do as long as I am pushing myself to my own limits.

I am really having fun with this stage of my weight loss life. :-) My body feels like it is getting back into the old strides it had when I was a teenager and I loved to walk the long bridge or bike the long bridge and it was never for exercise... it was honestly just for fun. I feel like that with the gym...even though I am sore the next day, I feel like it is a lot of fun. Plus because Shawn and I lift weights together I feel like every night is a date night too. :-) I like that part a lot.

I'm going to take my measurements tonight. It has been a few months since I have taken measurements, so I need to see where I am and how much further I would like to go. I'll have to post how I've done.
