After having my second child I was weighting in at a hefty 200 lb. I hated the way I looked and felt so I joined a gym. It took me about 6 months of just sitting on my butt before I really got started. At first I just went in a did my 30 minutes of cardio every day whether I wanted to or not. I also tracked everything I ate using a program from Calorie King. Once the pounds started dropping I expanded my my fitness routine to taking some lift and yoga classes every week along with my cardio. No I am a workout junkie, I cant imagine my life without exercise nor would I want to.
So , so many reasons. I love feeling strong and sexy. (don't we all) I love having the sore muscles the next day and remembering that I am doing something good for myself and improving my quality of life. I love being an example for my children and friends. I love feeling good about myself and looking great.
