The scale has been moving pretty slowly for me lately. I don't really mind though because I am in this for the long haul and I have improvement and victories that have nothing to do with Mr. Scale. I am doing things that I never would have imagined I could before I started this journey. Right now I am going to the gym M/W/F and doing 1 hour of weight lifting (power hour - body pump style class) and 1 hour of zumba. I am also doing P90X. I have surprised myself quite a few time lately with the things I am able to do. First I did double burpees (burpees with 2 push-ups instead of 1), then I surprised myself by adding the jump between burpees, then I discovered that I could do 15 push-ups in a row, then I did the entire Ab workout from P90X (AbRipperX is a non-stop ab workout that totals to about 350 reps total of 11 different ab exercises in about 15 minutes.), then I did quadruple burpees, then I did quintuple burpees. I couldn't possibly impress myself more than that, right? Wrong! Yesterday I did one-arm push-ups! I did them on my knees, but I busted out 6 of those, alternating arms, 3 on each arm. Yes, I would like to be able to do them on my toes, but I used to have to do my normal push-ups on my knees too (heck, I used to not be able to do normal push-ups on my knees), and I WILL get to the point that I can do the one-arm push-ups on my toes too. Can anybody say badass? I hope so, because that's what I am!

About Me
- Roxy
- Jacksonville, Arkansas, United States
- I'm a 33 year old chick who is currently on a mission to become half the woman I was (less than half, technically). My starting weight in Feb. 2009 was 245 and at 5'2" that is not a good thing, so here I am, fixing it. I have a wonderful husband and would like to have some wonderful babies, but first I must be healthy. I want to be around to get my kids to adulthood and I want to be a good role model for them.
