Here it is, the end of another year. A time that we make resolutions for the coming year, which are usually the same year after year.
The past couple of years I have worked really hard on my inner healing. I feel that I am in a really good place now both spiritually and emotionally. I am the strongest and happiest I have been in my entire life.
There is only one thing that I am not happy about....my appearance. Not only do I want to lose weight, I want to look and feel healthy. I know I have a lot to offer and a lit of love to give but a person has to get past the outside to learn what I have to offer on the inside, right?
Because of this I didn't wait until the new year to get started on this. I had joined a gym right before Isaac but lost my ambition sitting at home with no AC or power for 5 days. I got tired of wasting money and since I have a contract I got up off the couch and started going to workout two weeks ago. It has been slow going because I am so out of shape but I already feel better....for the most part. My knee has been bothering me but I have made adjustments and have lost 4 pounds so far.
I will be meeting with a personal trainer once a week and working out 4-5 times a week. My trainer recommended an app for me call My Net Diary. I can track my meals, exercise, etc and it will tell me what I need more of and what I need to cut back on. I highly recommend it.
For the first time in my life I am actually making smart diet choices and know I work too hard at the gym to eat junk.
I really want to run the Crescent City Classic on March 30th. The only reason I haven't registered yet is my knee. I have an appointment on Jan. 7th to have it checked so please pray it is nothing serious. I am hoping an injection will do the trick.
I am going to post my progress on here because if I am accountable to someone else I will do better so wish me luck. My first goal is my birthday in June...to be halfway to ideal weight and my final goal is to be at my goal weight for my cousin's wedding on December 7th. I am contemplating getting a "goal dress" for that but haven't decided yet so I would appreciate your input on the subject.
I wish all my friends and family's safe and blessed new year!
