Still Holding My Own

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." -Thomas Edison





Well i weighed this morning and i havent lost anymore yet but i havent gained either so thats a good sign! Still holding at 8 lbs lost in a week and getting ready to start working out soon. I just bought a new MP3 player so i will have something to keep me moving when im walking or exercising. My boss at work is wanting me to go walking this Saturday with her if it doesnt rain so up at 6am for a 4 mile walk is where i'll be headed. Im the type of person i can walk a track all day at a good fast pace, but you put me on a treadmill and im dead in 10 mins. I just dont like to be cooped up indoors, i like too look around and see a spot infront of me and move towards it. But im sure im not alone on that one... everyones different so what works for one may not work for another. And fixing to start getting my tan on. Cant believe ive went all summer with this whiteness lol. But tanning does make me feel better and seems like i look better with a little healthy glow. I'm looking forward to start working out with one of my highschool friends, Pete. We were chatting one night and the subject came up about weight training and how retarded i feel when i go to the gym cause i just dont know where to start and if im doing the right things for my body. He offered to come to my gym and help me train. He and his wife work out and he has alot more experience than me. His wife competes in figure and hes working towards competing in bodybuilding soon!! I'm sure he will do awesome. So the chance to have someone help me with my diet and weight training has been been a great motivator for me and i know Pete will make me do it!! I really think thats what i needed was someone to push me and get me going!! Then after i start seeing the improvements in my body that will motivate me even more!! Also doing a clean diet makes me feel better, i dont feel as sluggish and i have more energy!!! i remember going out to eat for lunch everday and feeling like i couldnt move afterwards and not wanting to have to get back to work. But now when i eat i feel full but not stuffed and it fuels my body so that i have more energy and stamina. who knew eating 6 small meals a day would improve my energy levels and still help me lose weight. I was always trying to diet and would eat 1 or two meals a day and still be starved. The opportunity is always there to make changes in your life may they be large or small. I am so excited that i have taken this challenge and am determined to give 200% to achieving my goals!!! So on this journey to fitness i continue and i know that it may take some time but the best has yet to come!!
