Sweaty Face

Grossed out by the title?
How about the picture?  Lol

There is a gal on Youtube that I follow Nicole, Ceramicheart150 and she started a Sweaty Face Challenge, where you were to share your "post workout face".  At the end she posted a video with a Sweaty Face Train, and showed them all.  I unfortunately didn't participate, but did watch all the faces.  She has since kept this theme going, with people posting their faces on FB and Twitter. 

So I decided to take my very own picture after my workout the other day.  Actually Angelina took it for me, which I think she did a great job, focused and everything, plus the camera is pretty heavy.  Kudos to her!!! 

I also took and am posting this picture as a "before" picture.  I find when the scale doesn't show the results that I have been trying so hard to achieve, sometimes a picture will show me how well I'm doing instead.  So here you go...The Before! 

This picture was taken after I did a Dvd workout called Walk Away the Pounds...which I'll probably abbreviate to WATP from now on.  Its by Leslie Sansone and she has you walking, kicking, side steps, and knee lifts during the workout.  And she gets you walking with the beat of the music which gives you the mph needed.  Her Dvd's are based on Miles.  The one I like is a two mile walk which is about 30mins, that includes a warm up as well.   She has videos starting at a One Mile, all the way up to 5 I believe.  They are a lot of fun as far as exercising goes and go by relatively fast.  It surprising some days on how sore you can get from just walking in your living room to the beat of the Dvd!

I encourage any of you on a weight loss journey like myself, to take a picture!  Even if you have already started, take one today!  Better yet if you take it after a workout, lets share those Sweaty Faces!!!

You Know its Going to be a Great Day When...

Your Underwear Fits Better!

That was my thought anyways this morning after getting out of the shower and putting on a pair of undies that have always been too tight, and THEY FIT!!!

Ok maybe thats a bit TMI for you guys, but I'm just being honest.  I put my scale up a couple of weeks ago cause I hated what it told me every stinkin' morning!  So to have this measurable "success" with the underwear was just what I needed. 

For weeks know you all know that I have been trying to eat better, hardly any processed foods except for a few meals that needed to be convenient.  Feeling great, and can even see a difference when looking in the mirror.  (I still refuse to step on that scale)

Since I have the food portion under control (for now) I decided it was time to push the exercising.  I still try to get a least a little fresh air walk daily, but its time to get a bit more in.  I bought Jillian Michael's Shred-It with Weights this weekend...watched it this evening (like it was a movie or something) and am ready to actually do the workout tomorrow morning!  I will be sure to let you guys know how it goes, that is if I still have enough strength to type afterwards.  I'm a bit nervous but excited at the same time.

Yeah for Exercise!
