Time to workout? if so, when?

[momofnerds]

so, I went on vacation to florida and just came back (was gone for 13 days-we drove) well, we had some rainy days while in florida so I decided to go to the gym. I started on the treadmill for 20 min. I thought I was going to die. So the next day I went again, and again and again. I would go in the morning and the afternoon, for a half hour. I started off 20 min on treadmill and then some weights. I can't believe how great I started to feel. Heck my clothes started to fit (if not loose) I couldn't believe it. So now I'm home and I'm looking into getting a treadmill from kijjiji. I like the fact that you can walk and run on it. So while I was going to the gym, dh started to join me too.

the only thing is that I noticed that I didn't lose any weight, but I bought the magazine from people (its the yellow cover thats on sale now) called "half their size" and some of the women said that as long as your noticing that your clothes are fitting better thats what matters. And its true.

today I put on a large shirt and it fit, couldn't believe it and my muffin top isn't hanging over my jeans like they use too. The only bad part is that I can see all my stretch marks (I've had 4 kids) and that stinks but dh thinks that they will dissappear as I get more toned and thinner (wishfull thinking lol)

I have a highschool reunion in may and my 40th birthday in september so I have some goals, but I want to wear a 2 piece bathing suit or a nicer tankini by my pool.

That's awesome! Good job! It was super rainy here yesterday so I hopped on my recumbent bike with my iPad....

As for stretch marks, I swear bio oil works wonders!! I had a small bottle and started using it on my lower tummy at night before bed. My husband pointed out how much lighter my stretch marks were on my lower tummy as opposed to the upper area, so now I'm using it everywhere lol, and it's making a big difference! Costco has a crazy deal on it, a small bottle and a huge bottle, for $25. It's definitely worth trying.

You lost fat and gained muscle. And muscle will help you burn more fat.

Keep on going, girl!
