Phase II

I have joined the gym. The only thing I hate more than getting all sweaty and stinky is doing it in front of other people. But it was becoming apparent that if I want to take this to the next level and get rid of this last layer of padding that I would have to have access to better equipment and more variety. So look out ladies -- there will be a new huffer and puffer in the body sculpt class. I am even going to give spinning a shot -- as soon as I get my hands on some padded shorts.

My new motivation is to be able to fit into my wedding dress. My 10th Wedding Anniversary is coming up in April and how cool would it be to be looking as good now as I did then?? I even have the capability of looking BETTER because I was thin then, but I was not in shape. I relied on my good genes and metabolism until they left me high and dry when I first got pregnant. Here is a picture of me on my wedding day (weight then: 115 weight now: not 115)

So here's to reaching old goals and setting new ones. Now I am going to go shower. I had my first date with the eliptical and I am beat.

Beautiful bride!!! Good luck with spinning. I went to one class with Nicole and I sweat a couple of buckets and I had a hard time walking for a few days!

Great wedding shot. Good luck with your new goal. That one is forever out of reach for me--Ethan stretched my ribcage out.

I love the wedding picture! I can hardly wait to see you in class, it's not that bad:) If this old lady can do it than you most certainly can - now I'm motivated even more I have been trying a new approach and hope that I can lose a few more!

love the wedding picture! You're so blonde! And that is a great goal -- the dress and the gym. We have an elliptical, but it hasn't been touched in months and months -- it's crammed into a corner of the garage and using it requires moving vehicles & t-ball equipment & you get the idea. Hoping our new space will give it a more accessible location.
*when you fit into that wedding dress in April you should totally get some pics -- that would be so fun!

I love your picture, you and you dress are so pretty. And I love the long hair, I have only known you with short.
Good luck at the gym you are seriously an animal. I wish I had half of your ambition!

Awe, I remember this day. So cute!
PS I L-O-V-E the blonde hair, personally I think you are a true blonde. Minus all the stereotype things.
