A Little Encouragement

So I haven't  been  really seeing a lot of results lately with my workouts. I mean don't get me wrong I know exactly what I need to do to see those results. I have got to get my eating back on track. However, this weekend I was able to attend a Health Fair with my FXB gym. I was a little nervous to go because I knew I was going to be the biggest person out there doing a demonstration. But, I am trying to stop using my weight as an excuse not to do things. I went and had a really good time. I met some ladies who were so supportive. This women actually hugged me and said she was so proud of me. Normally I would be annoyed by this. I always think that just because I am heavy people think it is amazing that I don't sit on a couch all day. But, I have come to realize that people are genuinely happy for me. They know it is hard work no matter what your size and they are genuine. I am the one who is so judgemental about myself and I need to take it for what it is .....a compliment.

Today I had an awesome work out. Lance Farrell the creator of FXB was at our gym. He was walking around helping people correct their form and perfect their punches. I was super nervous when he came over to my bag and just holding my breath waiting for him to tell me I was doing it all wrong. But, to my surprise that is not what came out of his mouth at all! He told me I was doing a great job and he thinks I would make an excellent instructor one day. I was so happy! I think I will remember that forever! I mean this is me....the girl who six months couldn't take the stairs at work because I couldn't breathe, the girl who couldn't run with her kids, the girl who was miserable. Yep that same girl was just given the greatest compliment by the creator of the program that has changed her life!!!! AWESOME DAY!!!!

It's My Journey

So I have been wanting to start a blog for a while and I thought what better tim then now!

My life has been changing rapidly lately and I want to write it all down so I can remember it all.

In the past few months I have lost 35 pounds! AMAZING!

I know I have along road ahead of me. I am ready to take that journey. I am hoping this blog will help me stay inspired. Hopefully it may inspire others also.

I was able to go hiking today with my family at Helen Hunt falls. We had tried to do this last summer and I was only able to make it half way. This time We wnet up and down with out any problems. I could breathe! This may sound silly to some of you but it is Amazing to me!

Every day things seem to be geting easier as the weight comes off. I feel calmer and more collected. I have more self confidence and am finally beging to look like the person I feel like inside. I am trying my hardest to keep the momento going and not going back to my old habits. This is even harder then the workouts!

But, I must say I am deffinitly enjoying the benifits of the smaller me. I am a better Mom, Wife, Friend, and everything else. I have always been told you have to take care of yourself befor you can take care of everyone else. And now I know what that means.



Befor Summer 2010
