Your success and happiness lies in you!!

The month of August went better than expected; I lost 17 lbs. all on my own.  I know if were training with Paul it would have been more. But I am happy I did that much on my own.  I’m still looking forward to training with Paul again but have to wait a few more weeks.  Paul’s still keeping his eye on me though you better believe it.  I now have to sign in everyday I make it into the gym.  I also have to tell him what I did while I was there.  He’s still looking over my food journal when I bring it in too.  Paul is also giving me more exercises, plus taking the time to talk with me about life.

 

I still haven’t made my first goal to be less than 300 lbs. but I am getting closer everyday. I’ll be SO excited when I finally weigh in the two hundreds.  One of the contributing factors right now is food. Being on a budget doesn’t leave me much room to eat how I should when I still have to buy things that will feed the whole family.

 

My daughter is still my biggest cheerleader. She took a fall and hurt her knee so she wasn’t able to walk with me for a few weeks.  She was sad we missed a few weeks but she’s better so our nightly walks are back on.

 

I have some other big news too. I am now off of insulin!! I am still taking oral medication, but only as a preventive thing.  I’m close to not being diabetic anymore which gives me more motivation to keep going.  Getting my health back makes me feel all this hard work is worth it.  All you have to do is stop making excuses and START. I am finally seeing that!
