Hi All,
My server was down yesterday and needless to say I missed you all. I did well yesterday. I ate well and exercised a lot! I plan on going to the gym tommrow after I volunteer at church. I want to test my self on the weight machines to see if I am ready to progress. I also want to treat myself to a sauna. The gym I am going to is a new state of the art facility and I want to take advantage of all it has to offer. They even have a rock wall, but I do not not see myself doing that. I mainly want to use the cardio and weight machines. My goal is to make it to the gym at least two days out of the week and work out at home the rest of the time. I start the final phase of the extreme fat smash this week. Overall I feel pretty good about the diet I have made a few modifications to fit my needs. After all everyone is different, and what works for one does not work for all. I have noticed changes in my body, mindset, and spirit. I do not dwell on the negatives nearly as much as I used to. I am finding the beauty in me and not hiding behind my size. I am making better choices for myself, by putting my needs above everyone. I realized I cannot take care of others anyway if I don't have the energy to do the things I need to do for me. It was so hard at first, because I flet like I was missing out on the fun. Watching everyone else eat the things that I used to eat to excess. I don't feel bad for not eating something because I do not like it, or someone spent time to make it. I realized that people just want to enjoy my company and are not offended by my refusal of eating something that does not fit into my new way of living. I feel like I am growing and evolving into a new person. I do have times when I want to slip back into the old me then I remember how miserable she was and I let her go. I can see myself reaching my goal, even if it takes a year, I know I will get there. Oh well, I miss a day of journaling and I want to write a novel. Enough ranting off to exercising. Check you later!
