Committed Changes for Life

Okay…while I am not a complainer by nature, I feel like venting about how unsatisfied I am with my progress in losing the fat around my mid-section.  I have lost roughly 25 lbs. since late January and am very grateful, but I continue to torture myself with my mid-section progress.  I have definately lost a lot in this area, but right now, I still see the same thing! 

Granted, it took me about 15 years to gain the weight in that area again, and I know it won’t be another 15 to take it off.  But…I just wish it would disappear!  I sooo hate that area!!  Does anyone have any tips for me to get rid of this stubborn area plagued with FAT??!!  Am I supposed to be doing double sessions of 1 hr. cardio?  I eat clean, so what the #*$%!!

Whew, that felt good!  I don’t talk to anyone else about my diet and exercise goals; only because most of my friends and family think that I’m nuts because I CARE about my health and how my body looks.  To them I am "skinny."  Obviously, they are all overweight and suffer from illness and disease!

I’m glad I decided to blog this because it was just great to get that off my chest; I’ve been pretty down on myself because I haven’t seen the progress I thought I’d see at this point.  Believe me, I do know that this takes time and there is no miracle pill or plan.  I just have to work hard and it will come, right?  RIGHT! 

Here’s to another hard working week of eating clean and working hard at the gym.

Thanks for listening…

Well, I can’t believe it’s been 12 wks. since I made the lifelong committment to myself to transform my body and eat a clean diet 97 % of the time!  It’s been a great 12 wks.!  I stopped eating clean for a couple of days last week while in Vegas, but jumped right back on the wagon when I returned home.  My profile pic inspires me even more to continue this journey.  I had that black jumpsuit for 4 yrs. and it didn’t look halfway as nice as it does now! 

 I know I still have a long way to go, but the little changes help me to push on.  I’m seeing change in my arms, legs and especially my mid-drift area!  My problem, fatty shelter!  It seems to be where all the homeless "fat" stuff goes when they have no where else to hide.  Next Friday I will be 42 and I must say, I feel soooo much younger because of this lifestyle.

 Come on 42, hell…come on 50!  I ain’t scared of you!!!  This is for LIFE; and I mean it.
