Back In The Saddle

It's been far to long between posts.
Update,
My back is better!!
YEA!!
But I am way behind schedule....
Stupid life just gets in the way sometimes.

I have exactly 27 days to pull this off.
Can I do it? Can I lose two dress sizes?
Anybody out there taking bets?

I'll admit, I'm a little scared.
But that just means I have to push myself harder, past the fear.

I've learned a lot about myself on this journey,
And one of the things I've learned is that I'm way stronger and
More determined
Than I ever gave myself credit for.

PUSH, PUSH, PUSH!!!

I Thought I Had It Under Control...

And then something else happened.
I injured my back.
UGH!!
So a short interruption in my new workout routine.
But I'm not letting it get me down,
Just gonna move forward as much as I can.





I have approximately 6 weeks until my progress date.
Time sure moves fast,
So that means I have to move faster.
Jeez!!!!
This is so hard!!

Moving Past My Fear

So I realized that in order to achieve my goals I had to do something I Never thought I would do
Join a gym.
To me the gym is a place where bullies gather to make fun of the fat People,
Or it brings back memories of PE when I was a kid and the overly Muscular female PE teacher,
Joined in while the jock kids mocked the kids that were more interested In literature than sports.
Aka..... me.

Now I didn't just join one of those gyms where there are just rows and rows of treadmills and bikes,
Nope... I joined a gym where there are trainers that kick your ass!!

It scared me to death to finally commit to this, but now that I have, I'm glad.
Because I know with the proper trainers, I can push past my comfort zone 
(you know, that zone where nothing happens)
And begin to believe I can do this thing!
Believing is half the battle.

So I've been twice to the gym and have had my ass properly handed to Me, but that's okay.
In between gym time I've been walking three miles, three times this Week.
It's Saturday so I only walked two miles this morning.
HELL YEA!! Gym twice, walking 4 times!!
Got back to using the My Fitness Pal app on my phone so I can keep Track of my calorie intake to make sure I'm on track.
Just over 6 weeks to Progress Day,
Here we go!!
