Kick off!!
Hey everyone!
Its may 1st
I hope everyone took my previous advice and washed their workout clothes and re laced their sneakers with new laces. What a great but a busy day! My life is usually pretty boring but recently its been hectic and I havent had time to stop and smell the roses. I had surgery on Wednesday and Im in a lot of pain still. Today was not only may 1st the start of every day in may challenge it is also the Kentucky derby! We threw a party to celebrate; some of us came all decked out in our BIG derby hats and wearing our Sunday best. I went to Brians boot camp he has every Saturday and it was a lot of fun EXCPET I could not do any of the workouts because of my surgery L but we dont need to pop any stitches ha-ha. None the less it still was great to get outside and see everyone! I wanted to share a little something I did with all of you, I made myself an everyday in May calendar. I went to the dollar store and got a piece of poster paper and just made it look like a calendar I also bought a three pack of markers black, blue and red. Every day that I exercise Im giving myself a BIG blue smiley face, and if I do not work out then Im going to give myself a BIG red sad face. I wont have any of those on mine J I hope you guys will make a calendar as well. it doesnt have to be a BIG poster board it could be on a post it. I wanted mine to stick out so that every day I walk past it and it pushes me a little harder. My first weight loss goal is to lose 21 pounds or more before July 20th my birthday I will be turning 21. So far I have lost 11.2 pounds (we have to be exact) Im hopeing by the end of May with support from everyone and my hard work and dedication I can kick those last pounds off!. We were taking a lot of pictures today and the old me hated getting my picture taken and if I HAD to take the picture I would fake smile, I was not happy but today I let the real me come out, I was smiling because I felt good. I am LOVING the person that I am becoming and NO ONE can take that away.
Id love for everyone to comment back& what did you do to kick off the everyday in may challenge?
Goodnight my EDIMERS!
