And on the 9th day...my muscles ached!

We are now 9 days into the healthy eating and exercising plan and I am proud to say that between the 2 of us we are 15 pounds lighter already! We have a long way to go but thats a good start! We feel so much better and have so much more energy. Chris put the elliptical machine together Wed. night, and I used it right away. The first night I could only handle 10 minutes, yesterday I did 15 min, and today I worked out for 25 minutes. Every muscle in my body is sore but its a good kina sore! When I am huffing and puffing after only 5 minutes of exercise, its hard to believe I could once run a 7 minute mile! But that girl is in there somewhere and I am going to find her if it kills me(and it just might! hee hee) Ayden is great motivation while I'm working out, he jumps in his jumparoo and watches me on the elliptical in complete amazement. We also play peek-a-boo while I am doing my crunches on my exercise ball and his little giggle makes me want to do more reps! Anyway, here is a pic of the machine and of course I couldn't help but to post yet another cute pic of my boys. :)




My legs start burning just looking at it!
