337. 28 Sit-ups

without comments

I am five feet three inches tall. From the age of 18 to 25, my average weight was 95 lbs. Not healthy, not good.

I began to put on weight two years, and have gained 35 lbs so far… which is about 5 lbs more than I’d like. I have a belly now. My husband Andrew told me, “You have to watch what you eat now and exercise like normal people.” He’s right.

I’m starting with some basics — no more soda, drink more water, and more cardiovascular. That means no more sweet sweet Sprite, a harder working Brita filter, and lots of Dance Dance Revolution. And for the pudgy belly: the Two Hundred Sit-Ups program.

I took the initial test of my skills tonight, with the results listed in this blog post title. I’m in the third column for Week 1 starters. (Which I interpret as “you’re not fat, you’re just out of shape”.)

Exercises on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’ll keep you posted as to the results. If I’m brave, I’ll even take belly photos…
