On my way to a new me

Jan 1st I started Weight Watchers. Feb 4th I met with a personal trainer and he started me out in the right direction of what weight machines to use etc. Feb 19th I decided to join a class just for women at my local YMCA called "Fit Chicks". I was measured, weighed, and started a circuit training class. With the "Fit Chicks" class I gained a personal trainer, and while she kicks my butt I love her! She's awesome! She pushes me when I need to be pushed, she listens when I need someone to talk to and offers advice. She wonderful! I have also gotten a friend that I work out with from time to time. Although now I think she's really into it since seeing results.
I've lost 15 pounds since January and I feel great! I've dropped to clothes sizes in pants. I see changes in my body every time I turn around. It's just an amazing feeling. Now instead of saying I can't find time to work out, I'm a mom to 4 and have an in home daycare etc, I make sure I find time to work out. I look at it as an appointment that I can't miss. I enjoy the time I spend working out. It's an hour or more of me time.
I take care of my children, other people's children, my hubby and my house. It's time I took care of myself!
