I didn’t take a selfie of myself today because I was at the gym but I did my workout and it was sooo hard.

I’m following the Strength Unleashed program with Sammi and I did day one yesterday but my legs were too sore for day 2 today which was lower body so I did a 30 minute session on an elliptical.

Yall. This elliptical was from hell! I noticed immediately that the pedals felt really heavy - it was level 1! Each movement took so much effort- this was NOT my usual experience with the elliptical. I had been planning to do a short leisure walk in the park this morning but I could barely get up the three flights of stairs it took to get to my car! The calorie burn count listed also feels too low - it was like lifting weights on my legs with each move.

Anyway I decided to take before photos this morning because of two things- 1 I’m finally feeling ready to lose this weight especially my FUPA. And two - in gong to conquer that machine. Period. Between that machine and Queen Warrior workouts I am going to achieve my goals.

I can’t believe I’m sharing these pics - I see how far I really let myself go but I am doing this for accountability. I don’t ever want to look like this again.
