It is time to hold myself accountable for the pounds. I may not have that many people signed onto my blog, but I know that by putting myself out there, allowing myself to be vulnerable, and sharing the one thing that I am most self concious about; will provide me with the healthy encouragement/pressure to do something about it!
This blog holds some key words in the title which include:
Music: I will be sharing a lot about the journey of Doble Mundo Productions. As well as new music by EDDIE MICHAEL and the comeback of my girl, ANGELINA!http://www.myspace.com/angelinamusic
Community: I hope to share many of the ideas, thoughts, and movements that I plan to continute supporting, while exploring new ones in the upcoming year.
Life: I might have to expand on the title but with "life" I was referring to everything that encompasses our being, in reference to our mind, body and spirit. That takes us to my weight!
The month of Decemeber is a dangerous one for my clothes and wallet, lol. Thanksgiving does a wonderful job of pushing the enevelope, or in my case, the zipper and buttons on my pants! Then soon after comes my birthday and the rest of the month is history-filled with holiday treats, celebrations, outtings, gatherings, and the list goes on and on! I had no excuse, but having had a bad cold and cough for a couple of weeks during this month set me back on my steady treadmill regimen.
What did it all equal? The picture above! I went on the scale and God forbid.....yes....I went above the dreaded mark that I told myself I never wanted to reach again. 300+! There, I SAID IT!
So, what does this mean. Well aside from the obvious:
- Increased susceptibility to heart disease
- Increased blood pressure
- Lack of energy
- Insufficient rest
- Lowered sex drive (luckily I am not at that point yet, but do I dare imagine?)
It is time to take charge! I jumped on the treadmill last night and struggled to get through two miles! I need to get back into gear. My good friend Natalia keeps talking smack and wants to take me to enroll at the gym. I can't be a cheap ass anymore-my health depends on it! I also have the great motivation from my friend Blasa who started an awesome challenge for us online, that gets us moving with a goal of completing at least 45 miles of cardio a month (walking or jogging). I really have no excuse, with numerous sources of motivation and inspiration.
The journey begins. Perhaps I will be brave enough to take before and after pics? Whatever it may be, the time has come! I want to feel better and come on, who am I kidding, feel sexier than I already am! :) Want to join me on this adventure?
XO,
El Chango

Do the before and after pics amigo. You know why? Because it says THIS IS IT. This will be my first time taking before and after pics. 12/31 will be my before. I know you can do it!
I agree with B and I speak for everyone when I say that we are here to support your. We both have been struggling with our weight for quite sometime it's time to make a drastic change and use our pain as leverage to help US through this journey. PS I have the HD camara ready whenever your ready, :). Love you and Keep thriving!
OMG-you both are great support. But um...I need to take the before pics on my own. Once I look hot, you can both do a photo shoot of me in my birthday outfit! :)
