When I Started:
Jun, 2007
How I Started:
I had struggled with an eating disorder for 14 years. I had relapsed again, was at a really low weight, and knew I couldn't continue the way I was going. I reluctantly picked up a set of dumbells for the first time, then quickly became hooked. I'm up 20 lbs and actually have a better body image than I ever have.
Why I Love It:
Huge improvement in self-esteem and much less rigid with food intake.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
Forum Signature:
Moving up from skinny to fit---and I've gained 20 lbs in the process. Most importantly, I'm actually okay with that :).
When I was really sick with anorexia. I weighed about 80 lbs in all the "before" pictures that are in my profile. My lowest weight was 67 lbs as a teenager, I don't have any pictures from that time, but I was even more emaciated than what is in these pictures. Frightening!
Worked back, shoulders, and abs this morning, spend about 75 minutes in total. Then I got my long walk (6 miler) in a little later. It felt great getting back to it after having taken the whole day off yesterday. And all those calories I had yesterday gave me an extra boost in energy...
Much better price for sure. Thanks. Next is washing the walls and the floor to get all the dust out of there, then coating the floors. This was neat, I have a cousin I only see at Christmas,he and I was talking and he goes to the Arnold Classic every year. He is a karate black belt and is really into MMA. Him and I might go together this year.
that isn't too bad. I could get it and just have Bud bring his Wii home on Sat nights for me to use it till I decide to buy my own.
I finally got the dining room floor all sanded. ugh, it has taken me a week! I just got out of the shower and I still feel like I'm covered in sawdust.
Very cool. Doesn't show a price though. But it does show that there is one in Medina. I have to run over there tomorrow to get eurthene (sp) for the dining room floor, I might swing in and check it out...and TRY not to buy one.
Hey Lauren, It's actually been awhile since I've seen your progress..I just want to say, Wow and congrats on choosing to be awesome..you are there my friend!
True, I will do yoga at work and it is only $3 per class, there I have an instructor to help with the form. Much better deal then the wii fit!! I will have to check out the Active. Do you know what is on it?
Thanks, me too! I will have to think about buying one in the next couple of months. I heard the yoga was good because it would correct your form. I agree, the rest of Wii fit might not do me much good.
Thanks. It was weird, only hurt for a few minutes.
Does Eric play too? You can have family tournements.
I've had several people tell me to get the wii fit for the yoga. I might just wait till Feb, I might have a little extra money at that time and buy my own wii and wii fit.
He is at work tonight, I should have had him bring it home for me to play tonight! Glad you got a good workout in. I did too. Had a weird exprience with my tricep doing deadlifts. It is fine now. I post it in the forums to see if anyone else has had it happen.
Thanks, maybe I should keep some games at the house and have Bud bring his wii home at times so I can play. Hope you are having a great day. I'm getting ready to do a leg workout in a little bit.
I do have to try it. They don't sell it at the local store so next time I'm in the city I'll have to stop somewhere and get some. What kind of games are on Sports Resort? Santa did bring him an addias hoody that I'm fond of...hmmmm might just claim that for my own. hee hee.
I'm ashamed to admit but I have not tried greek yogurt yet. :( Sounds like you are going to have some fun shopping! What game were you thinking for the wii? Bud has his over at his mom's house so I don't get to play it anymore. I should make Bud buy me a new hoody since he lost mine, then I can get the kettlebell. There is a good leg workout using on in Fitness RX
Wow, the Kroger gift card sounds sweet! I see a lot of greek yogurt in your future! LOL.
Hmmm I really miss my hoody, Bud left it at the Rec Center and of course someone took it. It was a nice UnderArmour one. But I have been reading up on kettlebell workouts. I'm torn!
Sounds like a great Christmas. Aren't gift cards great! I got one for Dick's Sporting Goods. Can't decide if I want to use it to replace my hoody that Bud lost or get a kettle bell...
Thanks, it has been a merry one so far. Bud is making out pretty good he got presents from my parents, me and now he is over at his mom's.
What did Heidi get? Was there anything special that she was wanting? How about you?
