Back on track

Well, welcome to my first blog ever.  I have decided to start one to help myself stay on track.  I am 35 and have a goal to get back into my skinny jeans.  I am about 10 pounds away.  I played roller derby for 6 years and after retiring in June of 2010, realized that was my cardio and my main workouts!  Even as a trainer, I found it hard after summer was over and I couldn't skate outside anymore, to make myself get to the gym and get on the cardio machines.  I like to GO.  Eventually, I enjoyed going and getting my sweat on, but I was drinking a lot of pinot grigio, which in no way will help me get closer to my goal.  So, last week, I didn't have a drop from Sunday night until Friday night.  I felt amazing and was at 110%.  I let myself have wine this weekend, and I realized that I like feeling at 110% much better then feeling a little tired, or a lot tired.  So, this week will again be alcohol free.  Thank goodness spring is almost here and I will be tearing it up on my skates at the lakefront again all spring and summer long!  Cheers to that!
