The two lovely ladies are my former co-workers and friends Tanya and Lisa. I attended AOL's holiday party, after a year away from my old company, Lisa invited my back to DC and to the party. I thought it was a great way to catch up with my old friends all at once. I was told "You look great, " "So relaxed" and various other great compliments, but I know I have gained weight and thought to myself...Okay Now that you have conquered the work life balance.
Now it's time to conquer the fat.
Rod a good friend at AOL, with potential to be more ;), suggested I start blogging and putting up new photos of my lifestyle change. Now please remember folks this weight did not just accumulate over the past year (the inner tube did) but the weight part came over a period of 2.5 years. Part of it was because of a stressful lifestyle and my bad work habits. I was a work-a-holic! With my 2 hour commute to work and back, I stopped working out and focused on my career. There just was not enough time in the day and something had to fall off. It wasn't until a health scare and major surgery that I decided to move and to live a less chaotic life.
This past year has been filled with traveling, spending more time with family/friends and decorating the new house. Now that I am settled into a nice rhythm, I have more free time to work out. Now is the hard part....How do I motivate myself to go to the gym consistently?
