I weighed myself today after I worked out with my trainer Greg. I was at 170 pounds...can you believe it??? 170!!!! It feels so good!
I reread my first post about what fat feels like and it helps me see how far I've come. When I first joined the gym I could barely do the elliptical at 0 resistance for 10 minutes at about 80 rpms. I walked on the treadmill because it was easier.
Now, I train 4 times a week for 30 minutes with Greg who pushes me beyond what I thought I could accomplish. I can do 100 squats, 50 lunges, throw a slam bag over a tower of steps all with a weighted vest on! I can do 2 minutes on Jacob's ladder, lift weights, do 20 mintues on the elliptical on Auto Pilot at 120-130 rpms! I do or try to do everything Greg asks me and then I go back to the gym for an hour long Zumba class or Boot Camp and this Thursday hopefully Spin Bike Class. I've lost 26 pounds!
Can you believe that now, instead of looking forward to going home and watching TV after work, I now look forward to going to the gym and being part of what's going on there whether or not I work out for the second time in a day.
I still have 50 pounds to lose and now I have new goals...I am doing the Warrior Dash in July and my goal is to complete each and every obstacle and to finish the course. I want to do a 5k whether walking or running. I want to be able to complete a Zumba or Boot Camp class without stopping and I want to wear a sexy dress and look hot!
I've lost 26 pounds, I have 50 ish more to go...I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me.
