Let’s Get It Started!

March 10, 2013 By Shannon Barnes Leave a Comment

I have tried for many years to lose weight with little or no success.  After years of excuses I have finally decided to be an adult about it.  I have admitted to myself that the reason I haven’t gotten the results that I wanted is because of laziness, boredom and pure lack of perseverance. Like the old saying goes, you can’t continue to do the same thing and expect different results.  You get out of a situation what you put into it. 

Today I am resolving to put an end to this harmful cycle and make positive life changes.  As I shared before, I have been on a quest to find healthier foods for my family and I to enjoy.  For over three years now I have been very successful in making better food choices.  Now all that is left is to find and stick to an exercise regimen that fits with my lifestyle and interests. 

I have come to realize that doing the same workout every day does not work for me.  I get bored really easily and I end up dreading the next workout.  Essentially it becomes a chore that I rather not take part in.  So I have decided to change up my routine on a weekly basis to keep things fresh and fun.

I have taken all of my measurements  and I will update you on the progress at the end of each month.  Every three months I will post update photos so you will be able to see visual results as well. I don’t have a set date or set weight goal as the primary reason for the ‘journey’ is to become healthier.  Being too rigid with the expectations only serves to sabotage progress which is the opposite of what I’m looking for.  Below are my starting measurements which the primary method I will use to chart my progress:
Body Part
Measurement (in inches)
Neck
16
Left Arm
18.5
Right Arm
16.5
Left Thigh
29
Right Thigh
29
Left Calf
17
Right Calf
17
Bust
46 1/2
Hips
52
Waist
43 1/2
Next week I’m going share with you how I jump started my exercise regimen and also what workout I chose.  I hope to have you all visit me each week and maybe even join in.  The more the merrier, right?!
