Christy's "Get Fit" Adventure: Week 5: Lady in Red

READY TO START A NEW!

Life got in the way of my sexy figure! At least that’s my excuse. After nearly four years of wonderful marriage and one beautiful child, I’ve discovered that I’ve developed a private hatred for scales and mirrors alike. I’ve had enough of life getting in the way, and it’s time to get back into the best shape of my life! T-minus 60 pounds to go!
Let me start off by saying, I am blessed. Andrew is my loving husband, and we have a beautiful little one named Eden. I am able to stay at home with Eden while Andrew is able to work from home. We love to sit and watch movies or play video games while eating candy and pizza on our time off. Soda is something we drink daily. Taco Bell is a place we visit 2 or more times a week. My name is Christy Lowen, and I am ready to start a new.
As a mother, I set the path for my daughter. Whether it is a path to gluttony and laziness or one to a healthy and Godly lifestyle, it is my choice. As a wife, it’s my job to be and feel sexy for my husband!

Week 5: Lady in Red

What a week! Actually it has been pretty mellow except for Eden getting sick. We had to take her to the doctors on Saturday because she was sporting a fever for 4 days in a row. I will spare everyone the details and just say that Saturday was one tough day, but she is doing much much better today! So happy she is her happy self again!

So guess what everyone! So far I have lost a total of 16 lbs =). I also learned some really interesting things. A while ago I heard a rumor that you burn the same amount of calories walking as you do running the same distance... WRONG. I guess that wasn't much of a surprise, considering how I feel like I am going to die when I run 1 mile! I also learned how important it is not to focus only on endurance, but really try to bump up the intensity of your workouts if you want to lose that fat! You need lots of muscle if you ever want to get those shredded abs!

I have had a hard time getting motivated this week. I know it has something to do with Edie Peedie being sick all week. What do you call that again? Oh yeah! An excuse! Excuses don't burn fat cells.

Anyways... this is a short one. By the way, I got into my goal dress a couple months early =) This WAS going to be the dress that I WAS going to wear to Andrew's high school reunion in August. I guess I will have to shop for a new one. Oh darn, or should I say, Flippin' AWESOME!

Check it! Who's that lady in red????!!!!!
