Ok well I had to go to the doctor upon yesterday and I must say it was a major wake up call.  I have always know that I was only 5′4 but never really knew how short that was.   For  me to only be 5′4 I was told that a healthy weight is between 120-130lbs.  Hearing that yesterday made me realize how serious my weight is.  I am currently 260lbs, that means to be on the high side of my weight requirement means I need to lose a 130 lbs.  No wonder I have had the health issues that I have had, and that have gotten more severe over time.  My goal has changed,  my goal now is to become healthy so that I may have a longer life.  With me being the size I am I have become a borderline diabetic and have several problems with my feet.  I am now fighting for my life not to be the sexiest thing walking through the door.  So many times in life we miss the big picture.  I thank God that my eyes were opened before it was too late…… The new journey begins today.  I am now on a strict 2000 cal diet and workout plan.

I woke up this morning earlier than usual and rather than laying in the bed forcing myself to go back to sleep, I hit the gym early this morning for cardio before I went to work or had breakfast.  I do have a couple of questions…. What is the purpose of Protein shakes, and should you eat breakfast before morning cardio to have the greatest benefit.  If anyone one has any advice please respond

I can honestly say that I feel great and the motivation is coming from within.  I hit the gym tonight doing 45 mins of cardio and then a light leg workout to get into the grove of things.  I am so excited that I am getting to the point where I can encourage myself to continue, I think about what I will be wearing next year to the beach and I smile and work even harder. Sweat+Burn=Sore= Results…. Such a simple equation.   My diet was on point today.   If every monday was like this one I will soon be able to say I love Mondays

I am thinking about cutting weight training out for a while until my cardio get consistent and my weight loss consistent is this a bad idea will it work…. I am still learning all suggestions welcome

I can see clearly now the rain is gone, it’s going to be a bright sun shine filled day No matter what life brings our way, we have to find that place of contentment, happiness, and self worth.  No one can lead us to that place except God and self, and in that order.  If we continue to put God first, all other things will fall into place, including fitness goals and desires:)

Can anyone tell me where my motivation went?  I dont know if its because its Monday, Raining and cloudy, or just me……./ But right now the odds are against me its not looking too bright

Didnt make it too the gym last night ended up working late at the salon…. but I will make it up today and tomorrow.  Its not about how you get off track but how you get on….. its a learning process a way of life slip ups will happen

Can you say sore…. well i can but like I said thats a good thing. Today its time for 45 minutes cardio and workout B on the weight training I will see how I feel late tonight after I have completed both.

I now remember why I didnt like stopping and starting when it comes to working out…… Soreness is the reason, I have never been hit by a car or anything for that matter but my body is asking me why did I put it through that torture.   In response I say no pain no gain.  So if soreness mean productivity and results I will be looking in the mirror soon …….. By the way made it out to the gym last night it was late but I did manage to lift weights and do 20 min. of cardio.  You have to start somewhere and I knew if I didnt make myself go last night, it would be another four weeks without progress and we are not having that!!!!!!!!!

OK OK HAVE NOT BEEN ON FOR A WHILE DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SURROUND ME.  dURING THE PAST MONTH i HAVE BEEN EATING WHATEVER WAS IN SITE AND BECAUSE OF THAT i HAVE GAINED 7LBS….. i CANT LET THE CIRCUMSTANCES GET ME DOWN AND MY WEIGHT UP. i MUST SUCK IT UP AND DEAL WITH THEM AND RATHER THAN STRESS EATING I MUST WORKOUT TO DEAL WITH THE STRESS.  OH WELL ENOUGH COMPLAINING HERE WE GO AGAIN   I LOVE LIFE AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER AND IF I DONT GET ON THE BALL I WILL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST, AND THAT SCARRES ME
