Lighten up, you are helping me - alot.

Keeping my head in the contest



Sometimes I feel like it would be ok to splurge.   But then I then some motivating things come to mind.  Like something I saw on the wall at Lean living that says "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".  Like the fact that I am in a contest!  Yike! I  have a trainer!  I have to pay for! 
 NO SPLURGING!

My new friend

I am so excited for you meet my new trainer.  His name is Ken. 
Last Friday was the first workout with Ken.  What a great workout it was. At Fitness 19 in Wickliffe, Ken watched every move I made.  When my shoulders went up after the fith rep he noticed it and told me.  He says: "put your head back, shoulders down, chest up and out and squeeze your shoulder blades together".  I didn't know I was doing so many things the wrong way! 
My trainer Ken will also be coaching my nutrition.  I am on track for my goal.  Though this last week I was getting a little concerned.

Excersize!

I could hardly believe it!  The Blvd of 500 flags had a fundraiser a couple weeks ago.  There was a Chinese Auction going on there and I won a one year membership to Fitness 19 in Wickliffe!  Of all the times in my life to win that! 
 
I signed up today and had a nice workout..   Tomorrow I have an appointment with a trainer. 
 
There is a goal I need to achieve.
