The Long Journey

Losing weight and getting healthy is definitely a tough challenge but it is one I have decided I am going to embrace. I've been overweight for years and now I've decided to kick myself in the butt, get off the couch and do something about it. My start date was May 16, but i haven't really been doing much since after my sister got married. I was doing the 30 Day Shred by Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels, what a tough workout, it's twenty minutes of the hardest things I've ever done. It's great for building muscle and losing inches, now I am doing a Leslie Sansone Four mile Walk Away the Pounds video. It's actually really fun and it goes by quick. She has you using every muscle in your body, even your face muscles because she makes it fun to workout and gets you to even smile while exercising. Imagine that! My goal is 60 pounds in one year. Can I do it? Of course I can! Will it be easy? No way! I like exercising but I need to change my diet and eat healthier and eat less. I think that's the hardest part for me. With the help of my boyfriend and my family and friends I know I can embrace this challenge and succeed. I won't quit and I won't back down even if it takes longer than I expect.

Your love is like a river peaceful and deep...

Since I no longer have Facebook I needed to post somewhere how wonderful my boyfriend is. Today is our 8 month anniversary and since we can't see each other this week, he sent me a BEAUTIFUL rose bouquet. It's gorgeous and looks wonderful in the living room. I'll have to upload a picture soon.

Na Na Na Na I'm gonna start a fight

Okay, I'm not gonna start a fight, but I seem to like to entitle my blogs with song names and since this has been stuck in my head the last few weeks, I decided to use this. Not too much has happened in the last few weeks. School started about a month ago and I can't wait for it to be over so summer can be here. Somehow I got the flu on Friday night so I've been sick all weekend. I'm feeling a bit better and hopefully I'm all better by tomorrow since I have a test to take. My wonderful boyfriend got a job at a Ford dealership and he starts this Friday, I'm so happy for him. I can't wait till Valentine's Day to see him, because I miss him so much. I did my obversation for my child development class which was lots of fun. Those little kids are so cute. Hopefully this week turns out to be better and I do well on my test and next time I will have better things to blog about.
