Getting started

I remember the times when I would walk for miles every day. Maybe to go see a friend, maybe to go to work. Now days? Not so much. It's sad that I was more active during pregnancy (till the day I gave birth) than I am now. What the heck kind of crap is that? I just said it... "CRAP!" Spending less time on the internet took away my excuse to sit around all day. It's time to get up and move!

You know... months ago I signed up to be a Beachbody Fitness coach. I opened up my Shakeology (the bag is half gone now), but the workout DVD's were only opened one time. That's it! What a bummer right? The reason behind this is because I moved to another state, am living with my mom and have other stuff to do, I don't have a DVD player, my kid is being crabby, I got caught up on Facebook, etc. etc. ... Do you hear that? Listen closer, hear it now? EXCUSES!!!  That's all that list was, just excuses! My head wasn't in the game. I was distracted. But it's different now. I feel that drive to be healthy beckoning to me! It's calling louder and louder! Ashley! Get off your ass! 

I'm not saying I am going to be a beachbody coach now. Nope, I don't have the money to re-sign up! What I am going to do though is not going to cost me a penny. Put my son in the stroller and walk, wear him, use him for weight lifting ( I want this DVD: http://thebabywearingworkout.com/) . I don't need anything fancy to lose weight. I just need to eat smarter and get moving!
