30 Pounds Down!
I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I just wanted to update anyone who’s interested on my progress.
I’ve managed to lose a total of 30 pounds so far - I’m pretty proud of myself!
And even more importantly, I’ve kept up with my new, healthier habits. I exercise at least 5 days a week, alternating between cardio, strength training and pilates. For my birthday, I got a new pair of running shoes and for Mother’s Day, I got a new treadmill. The treadmill occupies a large portion of my living room now, but you know what - this is a new priority in my life, so I guess that’s appropriate! My home won’t be in Good Housekeeping any time soon, but maybe my abs will be in Shape. 
Speaking of which, after all my hard work, I’ve gotten down to a size 10 in most shorts, pants and capris (those Gap jeans in a size 10 are still a bit snug, but I’m working on it! :). And if I do say so myself, my abs are looking pretty good for a menopausal woman of my age that’s had 3 children and a total hysterectomy! Okay, maybe not Shape-worthy, but still…better than they were, that’s for sure.
My eating habits have also stayed healthy - I pack myself fresh fruits and good-for-me snacks for work every day. This is getting even easier now that summer is almost here. Matthew and I have even planted our own veggie garden this year.
The running…well, I’m trying, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be a true runner. I take my dogs for a walk/jog 2-3 days a week to the local park - does that count as running? Once in a while, we’ll even sprint…I don’t know - I think I’m more of a pilates girl. But what I’m learning is that whatever exercise makes you KEEP DOING IT - that’s what you should do.
Speaking of which…let me go sneak in a quick workout before bed.
