It's been a great few weeks

I have now completed 2 weeks of the Biggest Loser program at my gym. I think I have finally found an exercise program that works for me. I am a social person and I need others to workout with. I am making friends and we are encouraging each other. I am accountable to a group of people and that is just what I need to motivate me. At the age of 44 and obese I am now running (jogging). I didn't think I was in any shape to run, but when the trainer said to run, I did it! Wow! Amazing. It makes me feel like I can do anything. I have attended 2 Zumba classes as well. We are not required to attend extra classes, but are encouraged to. I was doing Zumba thinking how proud I am of myself! I feel so much better about myself now that I am taking care of ME.

I Joined Biggest Loser at the gym!

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. That is because I have not been doing well in any area of my life, especially in my commitment to get healthy. I haven't gained or lost any weight, which I know is way yay better than gaining during this difficult time. I appreciate the fact that I have worked hard at just maintaining until I got my self together. I am ecstatic about joining the Biggest Loser at the gym. My gym membership had expired and I have not exercised since summer. In the mail I received an advertisement for this 36 week program. I went this past Wednesday and joined on the spot. I will meet 3 times a week for an hour with a coach, agree to record my food intake in a journal, and be weighed periodically. I have never committed to anything like this before and it feels wonderful. Usually I start to dread any commitment because I fear failure and then hate people knowing I've failed. But not this time! I am going to be a Beast at the gym, an Amazing Beast! I have a wedding to go to in 12 weeks and I will be seeing lots of people that I haven't seen in 3 or 4 years and I am so excited to have that as my first goal! To lost weight, buy a new dress, and look fabulous! Happy Sunday Everyone!
