Again & Again

Why does it take a tragedy before you realize that you need to make changes in your life?  Another year has come and gone and another 10 pounds have found my hips.  I wanted to be satisfied with who I am and not for what it says on the scale, but it is getting to the point where it is no longer healthy.  So here we go again!  More goals and the need for change.  This weeks goal
-3 pounds and to exercise 6 days per week eating clean healthy meals.  I will do food prep and not cheat.  I will let you know how it goes!  DESPERATION.

Progress

Life is a challenge.  From the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep at night we are CHALLENGED!  Week two and going strong.  This week down 2 pounds.  I deserve every bit of those 2 nasty pounds.  I worked until I almost vomited at least 6 times.  Yep, vomit!  I ate my healthy meals and was challenged when dessert time came around.  I am proud of my progress.  Slowly and surely.  Goal for this next week is to drink lots of water, stay away from sugar, and exercise until I almost vomit again.  Sounds like a friggin blast huh?  Well, thanks to my trainer Jeralyn - I have the motivation to keep going.

YIPPEE

So I weighed in on Monday and the results were amazing!  4.5 pounds of nastiness is now off of my body. Can I just say how jived I am about it?  I have never worked so hard and been so faithful.  This weeks menu is awesome.  Jeralyn has made this a lifestyle change and not a DIET.  I forgot I'm not suppose to say that word.  My attitude is changing a bit.  I feel more positive about life in general.  I have always been a positive person, but this has given me a swift kick in the butt.

Breakfast - Stuffed French Toast with berries

Snack - Peanut butter and apples

Lunch - Turkey Tortilla Wrap

Snack - Green Protein Shake

Dinner - Baked Taco Potato

Exercise has been a little harsh.  I wanted to vomit the last two times I worked out, but I guess that just means I am working hard.

Monday - Spinning 1 hour / weights

Tuesday - Skate Ski or Running

Wednesday - Spinning 1 hour / Weights

Thursday - HIIT

Friday - HIIT/ Weights

Saturday - HIIT

Sunday - REST

And the saga begins . . . .

I really don't know how it all started, but it started and now I am trapped.  Trapped with a commitment to a friend and trainer who I know will be checking in on me to make sure I am doing all that I can to be a healthy fit me.

Trust me, change is scary.  Weight is scary!  Monday's weight 177.5.  WTH??? has happened to me???

I met up with Jeralyn over at www.fitsgreaterthanskinny.com and she has provided me with everything I need for the next 12 weeks.  I will be blogging my journey to fitness.  Let's begin!

I have this amazing book.  It will help me keep track of my daily meals, exercise, and emotions while on this journey.  I am currently on day 6 and haven't had to resort to the mad house for chocolate withdrawals.  Let me tell you I am a CHOCOHOLIC!  I have to have it or else things go real bad.   My poor husband doesn't know what to do when I don't have chocolate.  Well, let me just say . . . I have been clean for 6 whole days!!!  MIRACLE!!  Not sure on the weight loss yet, but Monday is weigh day and for once in my life I am excited!
