One of the biggest problems I had with going to the gym, is I never knew what to do! I only knew how to work the Elliptical and that gets wayyy boring after 30 mins (if I even made it that long). I had always been interested in weight lifting though. I haven't been able to do a push-up since Middle School and I feel like a weak-ling all the time... but I was always afraid to try them on my own. At school I didn't want to look like a dork trying to read each machine and figure it all out on my own. So I never tried and just stuck to my boring routine of walking/jogging on the track and working the Ellipticals. BUT NOW I HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE to work my muscles and get buff! Yeahh!
So, I feel like I have more motivation to go to the gym with that new training under my belt now. Tomorrow I plan to go and test out the routine on my own; carrying around my little cheat sheet of numbers and machines like a dork- but hey! I'm finally doing this!
I feel like just doing all this has increased my self image and confidence already. Just knowing that I'm serious about it this time and actually taking positive steps toward my goal; even if I can't stay constant at the moment (I'm blaming the holidays).
But on a completely different note, yesterday I made my family's Christmas dinner: Beef Wellington, Gorgonzola stuffed pears, rolls, green bean casserole, and for dessert a Croquembouche. For doing it all myself, I felt I did... average. Things ended up going awry, but my mommy came and saved the day by fixing my burnt mess. It all ended up edible and actually better than expected!

Thank You to all of you for your support so far. This journey has had a rocky start because I had bad timing, what with all the holiday chaos, but I am glad you all read and I look forward to more progress and adventure!
Merry Belated Christmas and I hope everyone has a safe time celebrating the New Year!
