I went.

Got to the gym, was on the treadmill for 34 minutes, running for 3, walking for two, ran for 4, walked for 2. Intervals. Got nice and sweaty. Then, I went downstairs and saw two empty squat racks so I made a beeline for one of them. I warmed up with back and front squats with the bar, 10x for 2 sets. Then I decided to do 5 barbell complexes, only with the bar, for 10 minutes.
Deadlift
Bar to chest
Front squat
Overhead press
Back squat
End.

5 times, with a 2 minute breather between sets, and my legs are now like jelly.

Amazing how 34 minutes on the treadmill does NOT feel like 10 minutes with the bar. :P

But most important of all, I went.

So.
Cristina and Jo are getting married February 20, 2017. I'm suddenly motivated to shed weight and slim down for this wedding. Now that the kids are back in school full time, and the workload is honestly not as busy or crazy, I want to devote my time to two things: decluttering the house, and working out.

153#.

My last Coke was at Culver's on Tuesday, the last day of "summer" before the kids went back to school. I can do this. I go to the gym tomorrow. I will walk on Monday at Melas with the old walking crew. I will walk on Friday at Melas for First Fridays with the Fairview Moms. And I will commit to going to the gym or doing workouts at home in-between.

I think I can aim for 5 pounds a month, for three months. The first month might be easier, water weight and all. The 2nd and 3rd months will be harder as my body starts to fight it. 15 pounds sounds like a lot, so breaking it down over 3-4 months sounds more manageable. I have to get past Halloween. And Thanksgiving. But more importantly, I have to move. More. WAY MORE.

I can do this. I will do this.
