Update

For the past three weeks I have worked out 6x/week and watched everything I've been eating. I have definitely seen the transformation slowly starting. I am doing it this time.

I did throw my back out though and am definitely needing to modify my workouts to accommodate that cruelty. It hurts. Oh well. Life goes on.

I haven't been able to work on my handstands as a result though. I hate how it seems that when you can't do something, you want to do it so much more. Know what I mean?

I have lost a few pounds. Nothing major yet. I do feel my clothes fitting looser though already. Not much, but enough that I notice. I don't know what will come of my mommy tummy/wrinkles/stretch marks and how they will affect my results. I will try to post some progress photos soon. For now, I'm pushing forward each day and seeing the tiny results.

My goals

This year I have several goals. I feel they are reasonable and attainable as well. Three or four of my 13 resolutions for the year are fitness related. They include:

1. 120 lbs
2. Break 20% body fat
3. Run/do a race/fitness competition
4. Do a handstand unsupported

Starting weight is about 141 lbs. My scale says my body fat is about 29-30% (at the beginning of the year). I can do a supported handstand for about 15-30 seconds, although I haven't actually timed it.

I got a gym membership for a meager $12/month at a gym that had everything I need to succeed. I have gone every morning this week so far.

No failing this time around.

I'm doing it.

A new personal challenge

It has been a little over a year since I had a baby last. I have been working the last two months to get in better shape and now that it is the new year I am ready to dedicate more time and energy into it. The baby just woke up now though and I have to go be a good mommy. I'll post more details soon on my plans and progress.
