Starting T25 workout

Monday is here and the date I set to start T25. As soon as I finish this blog and have breakfast, I've got to march my butt upstairs and get this workout done. I can do it!

Last March, I became serious about weightloss. I'd been trying for years and kept making excuses as to why I wasn't losing. Sure, I went to the gym 4 days a week, and I was watching my calories, but I don't think I quite understood how to really eat healthy. I thought I was, but when I look back, I just wasn't there yet. When I week went by and I didn't lose any weight, I just said, well this is the body I'm supposed to have. 

But then it happened. I no longer wanted to be in photos, because when I was, I didn't see the person I saw when I looked in the mirror. I have a very slender frame and small bones. I am 31 years old and my wrists are the same size as my kids who are 7 and 10. Anyway, I kept going up pants sizes and finally when I hit the pant size I needed after I had my son while trying to lose baby weight, I decided ENOUGH!

I began to see a personal trainer and he helped me with a strict diet learn how to eat clean. I have a much better understanding on healthy foods. As well, I've learned FINALLY what my body responds to. Between March and June, I was able to lose 20 pounds! Woot!

I've really not dieted much since June. I've not watched my calories. I've still been eating healthy and I'm happy to say I've maintained since mid-June to September. I only have a few more pounds I want to lose...or maybe tone up a bit. My BMI is at a healthy place now, and I'm not looking to get bone skinny. Just firm up a bit.

So, I decided to give T25 a try. Just 25 minutes a day. I can do that. I like to run on the treadmill or get on the elliptical, but this might be a nice break from the two for a bit. I enjoy both of those, but they are more cardio and at the moment I am focusing on toning.

Happy Monday! Fingers crossed I make it through work out 1! I watched it last night and my son did it (he's 10) and he was even worn out after it.
