On a Journey We Will Go.......

Soooooo I’ve officially hit my one month mark with my personal training sessions. Ya’ll best believe it’s been a rocky road!!! However, a couple of days ago I stumbled upon what I looked like in December 2011…..can we say whooooooooaaa!! (Mind you that was 5 months ago) I was shocked because I didn't know how I looked like this or better yet how I was oblivious as to how I looked. Ayyyy Dios!!!! 

But it does explain my aversion to full length pictures. (I’ve never been confident enough about my body in order to do so). However, if I'd taken some before December 2011 I may have discovered what was really going on. Can we say "reality check!" 


Granted, I am nowhere near where I would like to be but it seems as though I’ve made some progress. I know this weight loss journey was supposed to begin back in January, well actually it was supposed to begin a few years back but I always let something get in the way. I’m determined not to do that ever again.  

Anywho I’m sure  ya'll are waiting for the photos  so I’ll post them shortly. I’ll mention that my eating habits aren’t exactly on par but that will be the next step in my journey . I’ve got to get a handle regarding my food intake and sugar intake so I've got to do whatever it takes!! Anywho I won’t prolong any longer. The first photos are from December 2011 and the next set of photos are from April of 2012. Mind you, I’ve been truthfully on the journey since February and I’ve basically just been exercising more. I’m just recently starting to get a handle on my eating. Ok..ok..ok..here are the pics…lol…..

So I'm still on my way to getting it right....getting it tight....but I'm glad I took pictures....So I know what I left behind me and can focus on where I'm trying to be. #Determined

Summer...Summer...Summertime!

So I did it. 45 minutes on the treadmill…. and….. wait for it……….About 10 minutes of jogging. I know it says 42 minutes but I accidentally pushed 40 minutes when I began and I didn't want to start over so I just did an additional three minutes when that was over. 

I tried doing intervals so I wouldn't get so tired and ended up doing more than I had initially set out to do. So yay I did it! I'll admit that during the first 20 minutes I became bored and discouraged. But instead of giving up, I turned up the volume on my Pandora reggaeton station (don't judge me) and kept it moving.  

That pool is what I got to look at while I was on the treadmill.  I must admit it was true motivation. Suddenly, it dawned on me that summer is fast approaching and your girl right here wants to actually be able to go to the pool. I don’t know about most of you but I have always avoided pools because of my weight.  But things must change this summer.

I admit that as I looked out into that pool I envisioned myself out there parlaying and soaking up the sun (with proper SPF of course). Visions of grandeur I know…but I’ve decided it’s what I want for myself this summer. So tomorrow I will be off to the gym to do it all over again after work of course because tomorrow is my first day…YAY!!

SURGE OF THE DAY: I'll be getting it in at the gym tomorrow so that I’m able to make healthy look good on me!

 I've got to keep reminding myself of this.
