I AM doing it!!!!

Today is Saturday...and guess what I will be doing instead of sitting on the couch all morning???I'm actually gonna drive 1 hour to get to the gym for a 1h30 training. Yep on a Saturday AND Sunday. I'm even kind of looking forward to it :-) I have not posted in while...I had lost a bit of that initial motivation that I get when I start a new project. But I think I'm back on track. What a difference it makes to have a personal trainer...I recommend it. It makes me accountable. If I would be alone, it would be soooo easy to cancel the plans I had made with myself. But when you have someone actually waiting for you, expecting you, it's a bit harder to disappoint. Its very very expensive, but who can put a price on your well-being? But again, the results I get all depends on the effort I put into it, how committed I am and how well I eat. I need a little more efforts on the days I don't go to the gym and watch how I eat on week-ends and evening. You must from times to times evaluate where you are, appreciate your success and see where there is place for improvements and run with that -literally would be a good idea LOL ! The other day I was telling one trainer that I had ONLY lost 20 pounds so far..Then she brought me to the weights section of the gym and gave me a 20 pounds dumbbell to carry...the light went on!!! This is how much I am no longer carry on my, that was quite heavy! :-) I know now that I have to celebrate. I AM DOING IT!!!

Fallen-off the wagon, back on the train.

These last couple days have been tough. I have fallen off the wagon. I had chips, wings, etc...lots of junk. Why ? not sure why. It was a bit like I could since I had lost a bit. Stupid..I know!!!
Since Friday I kept saying" oh well , tomorrow I'll do better!

Not exactly what happened. But it's ok, TODAY I finally put a stop to all that and exercised.
I did a 5 K bike ride with the kids this morning (I have 2 kids). I wanted to establish a nice circuit I could do. Plus I did the same 5 K circuit after dinner but walking. Geeze it feels GOOD!!!! I felt tired and wondered if I would be able to finish at around 3 K. But I completed it. Next time I will time myself. Maybe I will challenge myself to always beat my time by at least a couple minutes every time. Higher the expectations , higher the results! :-) Life is good. I feel optimistic today.
