The Adventures of a Mid-Life, Out -of-Shape,Mimi (M.O.M)

A little intro about myself (starting fresh):

Last summer I was helping plan a wedding with my son and now daughter-in-law in Oct. I considered myself in pretty good shape.

Then winter set in and the word spiraling around work was "downsizing" or possibly job elimination. I thought in the back of my head, ok I can get unemployment but who is going to hire me at my age??

So after Christmas I would get back on track with healthier eating habits and some form of exercise. Well the gossip kept going until I got the dread phone call on Feb. 5th that your job has been eliminated ( now mind I had this job for 20 years and had worked for the same owner for 31) So effective Feb. 15th I would be demoted with a 8500.00 lost to my pay along with a change in my work schedule. ( I know this has happen to a lot as well). My feelings of betrayal, bitter and hurt. so I started feeling sorry for myself. What do I do, No one is going to hire me at my age!! What am I going to do when i grow up?? lol

So after a couple of months of feeling sorry for myself, I decided I need to take care of myself for my husband, kids, grandkids, and my doggie. So I started cize for a month and I started to feel better. I needed to find that routine again. On May 16th I started Max 30.

My first week progress is down 6 pounds and  4  inches and I feel awesome!!! I had trouble doing the push ups and tricep dips but "I did what I could and moved on" shaun t.

Please follow my journey here. If you you would like to join my journey please comment below. What ever form of movement you want or just a healthier lifestyle but to be each others cheerleaders, motivators

Till my next update with Max 30
