I had a pretty good week last week with my workouts. I have to get to the gym when I get up or I will not bother to go at all. My trainer sends me my workouts for the week and I have set up daily goals to ensure that I can reach my long term golas. I am very proud of myself for pushing harder than I normally would and for stepping out of my comfort zone. Lifting weights next to people who are more fit and men who live in the weight rooms has been a fear of mine. I feel like they are looking at me thinking "why is she in here?" I also feel like they are looking at me and thinking that my form is all wrong or the weights that I am lifiting are to light. I am getting past that though…I worked with a trainer at the gym so I know that my form is good and I also know that I am lifiting what I can and still pushing myself to better limits so that to me is hitting a goal right there.

Going to the gym makes me feel like like I am powerful…lifting weights make me feel strong and confident and I get a rush from it and want to do more. I have always felt like that that though even when I was using the weight machines 7 years ago. I prefer lifting weights over cardio any day

I have also added 1 ab excersise and 1 additional move for what everbody part I am working on that day. I have to add cardio this week and it’s a good time to do that because its spring break so I will have time this week to really push that.

I have a goal that I want to be in the 150lb range by my birthday on May 9th. I have my weigh in tomorrow so I hope to be at 171lbs and that will keep me on the 2lb loss per week to hit my goal. Wish me luck!

I need to get to the vitamin shoppe this week. I have a few things I would like to pick up before Friday. I have been stepping out of my box and really stepping up the game so I am real proud of myself for that. I have a goal that I want to be in the 150lbs range by my birthday in May. I am going to set my goals tonight and make sure that I can hit that number without any trouble. I am real positive about the future and I can that I can do it this time because I have goals and I want it…I really do!

Today is my day to relax and that is what I plan on doing. I have this new laptop and I plan on updating my mastercook program with some healthy ideas so that when I feel like I can not come up with anything new and I get bored maybe that will help me stay on track. There are so many good recipies online that I am sure I can keep things more interesting than I would if I had to only count on my own ideas….haha!

I feel pretty good about things right now and my weight is around 170lbs now and I want to be 155lbs by my birthday. I know that I can do that with all the hard work I have been doing so far. I do have a lot going on now and I know that I need to make sure that I do not over do it and that I get enough sleep. Last week was a little tough for me. It’s a learning process but I am getting better
