I am working hard. Trying to get a grip of moving forward with my life in a smaller body. Exercise every day! Eating less.
Lighten up, you are helping me - alot.
Thank you!

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.
