Seriously, when did I get a muscle there? You don't always realize you have something until you start using it. I currently have muscles that I did not know I had. I did not know that a muscle was connected to the front of my rib cage, but I can tell you I do now.
I have also invited others to come work out if they would like to. I am hoping that my motivation will help others around me who want to do the same thing.
Today, I also started using myfittnesspal.com again.
I am trying to do 100 reps on most of the weight machines and 15 on the treadmill.

Rewarding
Going from couch to healthy will be rewarding. My muscles are sore today, but I felt good all day. I am ready to go back to the gym today. Due to a busy work week and lack of time spent with my family, I will have to go after the kids are in bed, but I am planning to go.
Yesterday, I got a feel for the gym I joined. I pushed myself to do things I have not really tried. I think I will build my workout based on walking/jogging for the first 10-15 minutes, then move to the weight machines and rotate through them. It worked well for me, so I am going to try to build a routine for myself.

Today IS the DAY
Today, I am going to the gym. Today, I am taking a step to get healthy. Today, I am doing this for me.
I am a wife and mother of three. It is not alway easy to eat healthy meals or even cook meals with our busy lives. I make sure I pick up fruits and vegetables to go with dinner, but sometimes McDonald's or the local pizza place is what we end up eating.
With that said, today, I am no longer making excuses as to why I cannot go to the gym. I have had several gym memberships over the past several years. I always go for a while, then stop because I "am too busy," "got sick," or really got lazy again. I suffer from depression, and when I work out, I feel better. I also suffer from my own overeating and indulging. I can say I am from a family who are all on the larger side, but at one point I walked every day and got down to a size 8. However, that weight did not look right on me as you could see my rib cage, collar bones, and hip bones. But a size 12 would be nice again. Right now, I am ranging from size 18-22 depending on the cut, style, and brand. I know I can do it, so I am on my way!
