Day Two: Is It Working Yet?

Since I didn't really elaborate in my last post, I'm going to make up for it with a second post this week.
My name is Kim, I'm 25 years old. I am currently going to school for my Bachelor Degree in Paralegal, and I work for a major bank. I am married and I have a four year old son. I am also grossly overweight. Ever since I hit puberty I've always been a bit heavier than other girls. It wasn't until I got pregnant with my son that that extra weight ballooned to making me over 200lbs. I am not proud of it. It's rather embarrassing to have to try on clothes in a store to the point that I would rather order online and hope the clothes fit right. I don't like going out in shorter pants or dresses with my family because while my son and husband are fairly skinny, I'm rather huge. It is because of all that that I started this plan.

I currently workout at home, a big portion because I am still ashamed of going out to a public gym to work out. Also, I want to guarantee I can stick to a workout routine without wasting money that I need to live on. Luckily, my husband is also working out with me, but he will be doing a different routine than I.

The routine I am participating in is from the Back on Pointe tumblr (http://backonpointe.tumblr.com). I'm not sure I mentioned them last post, but here you go. I had stumbled across the tumblr when I was going through Pinterest's Health and Fitness section and found some of their plans. I decided to merge two plans together: the regular daily workout and the Train Like a Slayer Cardio. I set it up as alternating between if a day is odd or even numbered. It gives me a variation each day, so nothing will be repeated until 2 weeks later. My husband just wants to focus on his abs, so he is participating in the 30 day Ab Challenge. So far, he's doing great. I'm quite jealous of how long he can plank.

Already I'm feeling my legs tighter and a tightness in my midsection, but again, it's only day three of my workout routine and I know not much has been lost... yet. Still, as long as I feel like this (accomplished) every day after my workout, I think I'll do good. And I'm not doing this alone this time, so I'm excited.

I'll be starting a semi-diet next week by substituting a frozen dinner I usually have for lunch at work to freshly made sandwich wraps and adding more vegetables to my diet. I'll post weekly with my sandwiches and the recipes if I like them. :)

Til next week, toodle looooooo.
