Chantel's Weight Loss Journey

I have been procrastinating writing on here since I am pretty bummed out that I have an injury to my hip and my knee and cannot run at this time. I need to mentally realize that sometimes life knocks you down when you don't want it to and are so dang stubborn (ya I am and I admit it!) that you push sometimes too hard, regardless of it being exercise or what not.

I started out using 10 lb weights on each side to try and get rid of this yucky jiggle arm fat then it was off to the treadmill. I pushed myself today and used the frustration and the bad day I had and used my issues to get to where I wanted to be and I pretty much made my goal. I gave myself the benefit of the doubt since one kinda have a bum left hip and 2 was running today and decided to about choke myself on my saliva.
