A healthy start...

So over the past year or 2 I have put on tons of weight. I stopped being active and become a terrible eater who ate late at night. Dating someone who constantly was eating, did not help! He ate a lot because he burned a lot. But eventually his level of activity declined and we both put on pounds. Lots of them!

Now I am free of that relationship. The unhappiness contributed to my weight gain. I lost myself and now I am trying to get a hold of my future and happiness. So I am planning to get back into shape. I had a membership to the gym and was going with my cousin when I was back in Providence but now that I am in New York I don't have anyone to go with and I am off track.

It isn't that I lack independence but when I am at the gym with a friend the time passes quickly. Otherwise when I am alone I am constantly looking at the clock thinking "How long has it been already?!" But when I am with a friend I usually chit chat and before I know it an hour has passed.

I have friends who have recently used the program P90x and they have had AMAZING results. I was skeptical but seeing them transform was crazy. I think I may do another Beachbody program however. I am leaning towards a program known as ChaLean Extreme or TurboFire. You can check them out here.


I was also checking out some yoga mats and bags and found these on Etsy.

They are by Ogorgeous
on Etsy.

Does anyone know where I can buy a fitness journal/diary?? 
I am looking for something with charts already set up so that I can track my progress.

  3. I've been doing the Beachbody program called Insanity, and it's AMAZING! So far I've lost 15lbs, and M has lost over 20! It's tough, but I love it!
