Since I have just recently gotten into this lifestyle I have never been to the Arnold before. Yesterday some friends and I went, it was AWESOME!!!!! It is unbelievable to me how many people actually go, we were packed into the expo like sardines!
The best part for me was that I got to meet the American Gladiators and even better was that they all were so down to earth, not seeming like "stars" at all!
My trainer is one of Jen Hendershott’s assistants and I’ve often heard about Jen from Heather, but it was cool to meet her in person. Also got to meet "Ms Fitness" from here in person at the Gaspari booth.
This really got me motivated to take my fitness and figure to the next level. Took lots of pics, but I live in the stone age and use a 35 mm, so I am going tomorrow to get them put on a disc so I can download and post. If you’ve never had the chance to go you must make it point next year!!!!

| Joel thought it was time for a blog update, so here goes! I started working out because I was tired of being the “fat chick”, I started at your typical weight loss center and gradually made my way to the hard core gym and I LOVE the way a guy looks at me when I pick up two 40 lbs dumbbells to do shoulder shrugs! I love the smell of the gym, the endorphans I get from my workout and it helps a little that people who haven’t seen me in a while say ”Damn girl, you are SMOKIN’”! And now my journey of lossing weight has lead me to a new found love and career in health & fitness. I have also made a commitment to do a figure competion in March, sent in my paperwork, ordered my additional supplements, increased my reps & weights and now I am sick!!! I am 17 weeks out, but I have alot more core fat to lose and probably have been working out a shorter period of time than most of these people i’ll be competing with. What to do? I know I can just continue on and see where I am in a couple of months, but the stress of being sick and not having what it takes to hit as hard as I know I need to is killing me right now! Not much going on here, just school, kids, work, getting competion ready, can’t understand why I’d be sick! LOL Little set backs only make you work harder, right?! |

| So, I work in a hospital where Bi pass and lap band are a high percentage of my patients and I watch as they suffer thru weeks after surgery, most have complications for the rest of their lives, some struggle to make it at all and some don’t make it. And I wander how our society got in this mess! I mean, we eat and eat and eat some more then we get huge and decide “oh well, I’ll just go have a piece of my insides taken out/banded and lose weight”, then they can’t eat real food the rest of their lives. I have a friend who is getting ready to go thru this procedure and I’ve begged her to let me help her lose the weight w/out surgery, she refuses, she opted for surgery. I know that this can be done naturally, I’m living proof! I know I’m not model thin yet (key word yet) but I have made drastic changes and I feel so much better physically and mentally. This has all been a deciding factor in my career, I cannot continue to work w/people who want to be sick, I want to work w/those who want to be healthy and I’ve change my major in college and excepted a Personal Trainer postition at a GYM. I will be getting my cert by the end of Aug. I am so excited to begin working w/people who want to be healty!!!!!!! And hopefully it will boost me to drop my last 15 lbs! |

So, I started this job in April and since then I haven’t been able to workout 6 days a week, only 3 aor 4, and up until now I was at least maintaining, but now I’ve put on 4 lbs  And yesterday at work I had 4 people ask me “when are you expecting” I know that my core is my vice, but that hit me hard!!!! I am so miserable in my career path and I have such a short amount of time to devote to training and I watch these Health Care Workers stuff their faces w/what they call “food” and complain about their weight and I just wanna say “well, those mashed potatoes w/gravy and fried chicken fingers got you where you are today! (I am getting somewhere w/this I promise) I have decided to change my career to Health Promotions. I am dedicating this month to gettin’ my body where it needs to be and next month I start classes to get my degree to help people add 2 * 2 and realize it’s 4 not 1. I hope that in the mean time I can learn to be understanding when someone says “I just don’t have time to workout” b/c really it’s jus an excuse!!!! You will make time for ANYTHING that is important. And eating, well that is another vice for me, but it’s a learning process and I want to help people learn that food is fuel for your body, you can’t put the junk in your body and expect great results. Sorry I’m ranting, I’m just mad at myself for not making this a priority and falling in the category w/those Health Care Workers, even if it was only for a few months!!!!! |

This weight loss has been a learnig journey for me. Mostly self-control and moderation, but alot of other things too! I use to buy a roll of slice-n-bake and bake the whole roll, eat them all, then hide the wrapper so my husband wouldn’t even know I had bought them. I’ve learned what NOT to buy and keep in the house. My husband don’t feel that it’s fair that he has to be deprive because of my lack of self-control, but has been pretty compliant for the most part. Yesterday, I bought the slice-n-bakes, only baked 12 and only ate 5. I was going to beat myself up for the 5 I ate, they’ll cost me 4 miles on my rec. bike, but I think I’ll celebrate finding my self-control!!!!!!

Okay, so I am new to this site. I still have about 15 lbs to lose and some serious body reshaping to do, but I get tired of friends and family saying "you have lost enough, you look good the way you are" and "you work out how many days a week, that’s too much". First of all I still register as overweight and second of all too much to who? Just because I have a new found love for working out and you still want to sit on your couch, watching tv, craming the chips in and then complaining that you really don’t like to shop for clothes because you don’t like the way you look. But I have had no support in all of this and it seems to get worse with each size I drop. Any suggestions?
