Today is a new day...

Ok sooooo I just got back home from the gym, and I feel good about my workout but not great. I am still feeling sick, so it is hurting my workout majorly. Oh well! So I thought in my side panel, I would post my daily workouts. Alot of you have asked me exactly what I do, so look for that starting tommorow. Plus those of you asking about what I eat, you should join myfitnesspal.com and friend me, larisadixon, and you can see my food diary from as far back as when I started. So lets do something to make us happy today and shine, shine, shine!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...as most of you know my first goal was to be 200 by March 10th, so today I wake up, go pee and step on the scale and it says 200.4...yayaya! So now I am looking forward to being on onederland tommorow and hit my next goal of 190 by april 10th. STAY TUNED!

As you can tell my first goal is due tommorow and as I got on the scale this morning I weighed in at 201.6, hmmm what sucks is the fact that I am sick this morning and feel like total crap. So I did'nt go to then gym this morning, so this means i will be visiting the gym tonight when my hubby gets home from work. ugh!   I have to hit my number tommorow sick or not!
