I rested and back at it

Well I took Tori's advice and rested the other day. It was hard. I didn't know what to do with myself. But have promised myself to take one day off a week from here on out. After letting my body rest I realized how tired I was and slept for four extra hours that day. The following day I realized my thighs felt like jell-o, they healed and I went back at it. Now I am off of work for a week. YAY!!! I'm so excited. Today I went to the store and placed so items on lay-away so I have them for home. There is an exercise ball, and 10lb dumb-bell, and resistance bands. I can use for home the days I don't go to the gym. Now all I want is an exercise step and a medicine ball. Then I will be set for these nasty days when it is too cold to go outside. I feel fine and I'm glad to be back down into a large shirt. I noticed yesterday that my uniform shirt that I have to wear for work is starting to look really baggy on me. The shoulder seams are down on my arms now and I have more breast and belly room in it. I am so glad that I decided to go along with this procedure - it has definitely helped my life turn around and what surprises me most is I love the high I get from doing the different exercises - I never would of imagined the feeling being so positive. Today at the gym working with Tori, she had me doing some jumps. JUMPS actually lifting both feet off the ground at the same time. It has been years since I've done anything like that - once I did it I started laughing. I thought wow, I'm doing this - my knees actually let me do it. Then we did some stairs and some laps around the gym on the indoor track, weights, and crunches. You are all probably tired of hearing this, but I am so proud of me for allowing myself to be me! I've lived in a cocoon for so long now - it's nice to started peeling it away. I was asked today what my goal weight is. I really don't have a goal weight! I have a goal size, I don't want to get upset if I can't make the weight - I figure the size is a better rule. I want to get my BMI in the normal range and out of the morbid obesity range (that's scarey) and when all is said and goal is met, I will let you know!!!! I PROMISE......
