PRU ~ WEEK 14

WEEK 14
Saturday, May 8
Okay I have to tell you that yesterday I wore “coochie cutter #2 (cc-#2)” and it fit beautifully! Remember I had cc-#1 when I first started the challenge and got into it, then I added cc-#2 as a goal. Well a month later and I’m in CC-#2. BABY, BABY!!!

What’s the goal for the next 4 weeks? To get into a bikini and I now have a new suit that I haven’t worn in 4 years … it’s not cutter … but I could lose the panty lines (smile)! Also, I bought Tosca Reno’s “Eat Clean” book and I will begin to incorporate her meal plan into my lifestyle. By “diet” I don’t mean “diet”, it just means eating more healthy, well-balanced portions at each meal.

I can’t tell you how AWESOME I feel! Not only am I beginning to really see the changes in my body, but my sales partner and I won a trip to Cabo San Lucas!!! God is sooooooo GOOD! You all just don’t know how much I’ve been through with this company.

I owe a BIG BIG THANKS to Dre, who in the winter of 2008 saw me really struggling- work, winter blues, depression - and because she is such a GREAT person challenged me this winter to do become a part of the D3-challenge. The challenge helped me to make it through the winter-blues, it has kept me focused, energized and mentally stable (smile)! I had a big year in 2009 that is continuing in 2010! I know that working out has been a key factor by keeping my physical & mental stamina on point! Now I can go on this trip not just celebrating a huge work accomplishment, I can actually show off my BODY!!!

In all seriousness, there are a lot of so-called trainers who will gladly take your money for bootcamp, but there are VERY FEW that care enough to SUPPORT & PUSH you when they see someone struggling - inside & outside the gym. Dre is SPECIAL!!!

DRE … Thank you for listening & caring!!! You are ALL THAT and a jar of DILL PICKLES - inside joke!!!

The hard work is paying off! Roz and I weighed in and we both lost! I’m down a total of 12lbs thus far and I cannot be happier! I can not only feel it in my clothing but I also SEE it in the mirror and it feels GOOD! Now my original goal was to lose a total of 20lbs by November, but I have been given a new challenge to lose 20lbs – on top of what I’ve lost – starting today. Oh Lord! I know I can do it. The REAL challenge will be for me to become CONVICTED in my mind to make it happen. Pray with and for me!

Roz … you’re the bomb, but I’m determined to be the biggest loser next weigh-in!

I was tired as all get out today. I didn’t get home until 9:00, I had to prepare for meeting with manager AND I had not eaten dinner yet. Now you know that voice was telling me “just do it tomorrow, one more day won’t hurt”. Then the other voice said, “No, just do 20 minutes, at least you did something”. Then Dre pulled up - that’s the hazard of living next door to your trainer – and the guilt kicked in. So I set out to only run 2 miles - a good compromise right - I ended up doing about three, at a pace that I haven’t done for a full 30 minutes since I don’t know when, and even threw in some abs! I’m so glad I did.

Last week was my worst week yet for working out, so I’ve got to make up for it this week. I had to really push myself, still not 100% yet with this stomach situation. This is really one of the first days that both of my toes really bothered me during my workout. Oh well … no pain … no gain.
