Two weeks into my journey toward a healthier me!
January 13, 2019 saw me do my first real workout in years. I was going to wait a couple of weeks to start adding in light weights, but my first workout this week saw me hitting the circuit training equipment.
Six workouts down and many more to go!
I'm hoping that my workouts and new dietary measures will help me both slim down and strengthen up, keeping me healthy for years to come.
Eventually, I hope to add some fun stuff to my health routine...such as Zumba and some sort of dancing. But for now I'm happy with my current progress. The weight loss has been slow, but at least I'm doing it in a healthy manner instead of starving myself or something equally stupid. And I am not burning myself out either because that is the last thing I want to do...I do not want to do something that will jeopardize my continued efforts at the gym!
I know that at this point I do not want to become a muscle-bound behemoth of a woman - I will settle for being a healthy weight with defined muscle tone. Eventually I hope to be able to take part in a half-marathon and eventually a full marathon, but that will come in time once I have developed a regular habit of going to the gym and can build myself up to being able to handle long distance running. Hell, I'd be happy with being able to manage a five-minute run right about now, at least one without damn near dying because I can't breathe :P
And maybe, just maybe, if I can show my doctor that I am making a huge effort in trying to get healthy and get my weight down, I'll finally be able to get my breast reduction surgery so I can literally get the weight off my chest!
