JULY 29 BLOGS:

B - How does your body feel?
My body feels good. I have been trying to push myself in the warm up but I still find it hard to complete at level 3. I do feel stronger and I have noticed that I can keep up better in the workouts. I am slacking though on that 5^th workout. For some reason I cannot manage to get it in. I will be going NJ and it’s so hard to get it then since I will be busy with family activities. But I did dance my butt off at my Aunt’s wedding Saturday night so I sort think that counts.

L - What have you learned about you? your coach? your team?
I have a strong will power. The way I view food has completely change. I make wise choices which in the past I would have eaten whatever the heck I wanted. I love carbs and being in NJ really caters to that love but this time around. I eat ½ the whole wheat bagel and had egg whites veggie omelet. At the wedding I stuffed my face with the veggies and shrimp so when my dinner came, I only ate the roasted beef and asparagus. Talk about will power, never in my life did I think I would have it. That by far is ahhhmazing. I am extremely happy that I can control myself and not act crazy when it comes to food.

My coach is still continues to impress me. She is still pushing to reach her ultimate goal. Her weight loss story motives me to push harder and to understand that it can be done. I will take time but results will come about if work is put into it. This is not a fad diet for me but a lifestyle change.

The team: Everyone continues to amaze me. I love how honest people are and share their struggles. It’s nice to know that I am not alone. Everyone is so helpful, thoughtful, and supportive. Honestly, I love coming to the WORX because I feel like I’m working out with my friends.

O - What observations can you make about change?
Change is hard. Every day is a struggle, especially when you are around people who don’t understand your new lifestyle. But I will prevail and continue to do the best that I can. I have a great team and coach.  I am excited to see my hard work pay off.

G- What small goals can you celebrate?
That I have been able to rock some body hugging dresses this month. Holla!!! It’s very exciting to see the transformation.

S - Set your week's goals and plan you week!
To get in that 5^th workout no matter what is happening this weekend. I will even do a 6^th workout since I did not get that one in last week. L My goal for the rest of this journey is to get to bed at a reasonable hour so that I am able to wake up early and eat my first meal at home.
