I have been doing EA Sports Active workouts again and I am proud to say I have lost 4″ on my waist in just 11 days of working out, the scale isn’t showing any pounds lost but I can tell that my pants are now falling off of me and wish I had the funds to go buy some that fit me. All in time I will soon enough be able to get a new wardrobe for the newer, fitter me! Right now I am working on losing a few pounds to get ready for Summer!

After having three children who are now 7, 3 1/2 and 19 months old I am finding that my body is out of shape. I am a very active person during the Fall, Spring and Summer seasons here in NH but when Winter comes I swear I should be a wild bear because I would prefer to hibernate! Everyone usually tries to start losing weight this time of year, something about the warm weather and beach days! Every Summer I take my kids to the beach at least once a week, I love the sun and getting a nice natural tan as well as splashing in the water to clean up after the kids have given each other dirt/mud baths on the beach sand!

It’s a great feeling knowing that you are getting fit and slimming down for the Summer. The best way to start losing the extra pounds is to make sure you are doing it because you want to, not because you see all the thin models on television or because someone else tells you that you are fat. I haven’t had anyone tell me I am fat, only one person who keeps telling me I had a flat butt but now my butt has appeared. I don’t care if I have a flat butt, no butt, big butt, whatever, I am working out and getting fit for my health, my positive attitude and because working out daily provides me with a natural happy boost!

Whatever your choices are for slimming down or getting fit for Summer make sure you are doing it for yourself and no one else!
