Transformation

Well, it's been quite awhile.

I just signed up with a personal trainer, hoping to have someone push me to the next level.

Since July, I've been consistently working out and watching what I eat. I've lost 25 lbs and about 17 inches. While I'm very proud of myself, I need more. I feel I've done as much as I can do on my own and have now sought professional help.

In the next 7-10 weeks, I hope to be leaner and fitter and start on a path that will continue for quite some time.

I will try to make an effort to update this more often, so I have something to look back on. I truly feel this is the (second) start towards my goal.

Personally, I want to lose another 30 pounds. The trainer said I could stand to lose about 50-60, based on my body fat. I want obvious results. Even though I've done well on my own, and some clothes fit looser, the weight and inches I've already lost have not made much of a difference, physically.

I hope, pray and will actively seek this: By April/May/June, I want to be lighter and trimmer. How great would that be for summer? I'm very excited and READY for this next level to begin.

:)

First Post

Hello Blogger World , This is my first time blogging. Bare with me. I was never one to keep a diary as a kid. I never saw a reason to write my thoughts down. And besides, who will be reading my blog? I'm not famous or know how to get my blog out to the masses. Do I care if anyone reads what I have to say? I don't really, but hope so. As encouragement. I've created this blog to track my weight loss journey. I thought that maybe if I had someone to report to (you strangers out there that I don't even know if you're reading my blog), it'd make this journey easier, better. Exercising and eating healthy are not new to me. I've tried many times before, many different ways. With coworkers, with a buddy, with my mom, by myself. Maybe a few pounds lost here and there. But, as I've thought many times before now: maybe this time is different. I recently bought a treadmill, to go along with my elliptical and dozens of workout dvds . It's too damn h...

Two weeks in...

Well, it's been two weeks. Two weeks that I've been very strict about what I'm eating and working out. Last Monday, when I weighed myself, I'd lost 2 lbs. I'll see what the scale says tomorrow. I haven't had fast food in over two weeks! This is a big deal and big accomplishment. But you know what, I haven't been craving it. If I feel the need to stop and get food, I go to a sandwich shop, where I can get good, healthy, fresh ingrediants. I worked out 5 times last week and 4 times this week. I think I'll wait another 2 weeks until I measure myself again. My two friends haven't worked out or been restricting their eating. I told one that they need to start working out. Sure, without them participating, I'm in for an easy win. But I'd rather lose $100 (what we're all offering, at the end of the deal, as a prize) and have my friends lose weight with me. I'm just trying very hard to make sure I do the best that I can.

Thes 5:16

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 I heard this on The Amazing Race tonight and had to share. It's a beautiful saying and I'll try hard to remember it. 'be glad, pray and give thanks!'
