Monday January 28th, 2008 DO YOURSELF GOOD, GET YOURSELF A TRAINER!!

Hi everyone. So its another Monday and I got through another week..and starting a new one. There is always something nice about starting on a Monday, because we can basically make the new week whatever we like to make it. Which is really nice when you think about it.

So I weighed myself today...227lbs...so I am now in my 220's...which I am so excited about! I mean to think, I went from 272lbs..to today's weigh in. Isn't that insane.!!Not to mention in under 3 months really!

I am so excited now that I am on the countdown to get into the 100's once again, and the way things have been going, I know that wont be too much longer.

I have decided that I am going to go downtown when i reach 199lbs, and make sure to go when there is major traffic during rush hour and strip off my clothes...and dance around!!:-)))) cause i will be sooooo happy!! :)))))

Well, OK perhaps not do that, but ... I know that it will be so nice to see the 100's again! I am sure I will cry, and perhaps sit in shock for a while, maybe even weigh myself 100 times that day to make sure I wont be dreaming it, all I know is that it is going to be an amazing day, when that day arrives.

Anyways, I just wanted to mention quickly that, Honestly, i could not have done this without my trainer. I know this for a fact. I would have quit a long time ago. This is why I would like to urge all those reading my blog, it is so WORTH it to invest in a really good trainer! I mean this is YOUR life we are talking about! There is nothing more important than investing in your own life, something that will make you live longer, not to mention feel so much better about yourselves!.

You see, especially if you are starting off high in weight...and perhaps its been a long time that you have tried to lose weight, its almost like going back to school again, just getting educated again and learning all the proper things you need to know regarding food and exercise, not to mention it has made such a difference to have the support I have had from my own trainer.

Because this is something that you will take with you, and can use forever as you make a lifestyle change. This is real, it is hard work, but, I have learnt so much already!! And it can really be done properly. Without having an operation, without one of those fad diets where, they are making billions of dollars off of people who get sucked into them, this is real, natural, eating all the proper foods that god gave us to live on, there is nothing that sounds better than that! I just wish I would have done this a longggggggg time ago!! SO, just keep that in mind. Coming from another overweight person, I really do think that is a big key in tackling this problem, having the support from a trainer! If you cant afford one a few times a week, perhaps you can once a week, and if not once a week, perhaps once every 3 weeks or once a month, just get yourself one you feel comfortable with! And do what they tell you, and be up for the challenge! Don't get weak and quit...give it time..and you too will see a big difference. Be stronger about it this time!

I have my confidence back again...I smile alot more, I am starting to take care of myself alot more now in regards to making myself pretty again. When you are in the spot where I used to be when i first started, I could care less about what i was wearing, or that I fixed my hair or makeup..because you are just sort of in a hole, and you don't really feel pretty. But now that I have been changing both mentally and physically, you start getting that all back again.

I went shopping the other day and bought 2 pairs of pants, I mean pants, not joggers..:) OH AND FORGOET TO TELL YOU ALL...I am down like 6 sizes in pants..that is ridiculous@ but fantastic!!
And i went to a party on Friday night. Everyone first of all was shocked at how I looked, and then they were shocked that I was actually wearing real pants.lol It was somewhat funny actually.:-)

anyways, have a great week. I am looking forward to a fantastic workout today, I have a concert to go to on Friday, and I plan on getting as many calories burned by then...(its more a mental think i know) but anything that helps me have a good workout week, I welcome;-)

take care talk soon
