The Beginning Starts with Before Pics

Today was my first day back in the gym after a long while. But this time, I took with me a good friend of mine, who knows a good amount about fitness and form. Plus she's a great motivation! As you know (if you've read my first post), I weigh in at about 179 lbs (woot! lost a pound) measuring at 5 feet and 6 inches. But of course, everyone carries weight differently. So here are my before pics!

My first stepping stone is to weigh in at 160 to see how my body looks and feels, and this number was recomended to me by my doctor. Me and my friend, Wendy, worked out our upper bodies with machines and without, plus some cardio. I would say the most fun was when Wendy tried to help me improve on my push ups. Ha! I struggled with ten modified push ups, that's right ten! A work in progress to say the least. But I'm excited and look forward to an increase in both strength and flexibility! And the best part is to see how many points I got on Fitocracy after inputting my work out. 

Speaking of Fitocracy! You are more then welcome to follow me on Fitocracy, Instagram, Twitter, and MyFitnessPal at HealthyCoqui. 

Till next time!
