WEEK 16
Weekend, May 20-23, 2010
My husband and I lost one of our best friends & cousins Friday. To say that I am at a loss for words is an understatement. Our cousin Andre was a key catalyst behind the courtship of my husband and I, not to mention the presence of my son! He was such a DYNAMIC spirit/force … just lived life to the fullest! He was one that “NEVER MET A STRANGER”. Those who had the fortune of coming into contact with Andre were truly BLESSED to have known him. We will miss you TREMENDOUSLY!
I managed to get a workout in on Saturday morning.

First day back this week and man … it was brutal. It’s amazing to me how you can take off a few days, and it’s as if all the work you put in the days before don’t even seem to matter. But they do … so don’t get it twisted.
I’m not going to lie though … I just about fell out today. I’m glad I got my workout in.
What’s keeping me going … honestly … the progress! Today I wore coochie cutter #2, for the second time. It dawned on me that this is the first time in 4 years that I have been able to wear this suit without a girdle! The FIRST time!!!
My husband told me I looked good and to keep doing what I’m doing! That was icing on the cake. He’s even back on his fitness program!
I know I sound like a broken record, but I do realize I have a LONG road ahead still. I have to remind myself because the real journey, the gut-check, the kick-butt, make-me-wanna-holla-n-quit workouts haven’t even started yet. I have 20lbs to go and muscles to develop and I know its going to take EVERYTHING I have to make it happen. So I gotta stay FOCUSED & HUMBLE now, because come July … OH BABY BABY!

I’m sick as all get out. Nothing moving today, except me rolling over in my bed.
WEEK 15
Saturday, May 15, 2010
This was my first Saturday back in kettle bell class for about 3 weeks. I broke a serious sweat today … my hair held up though! Well kind of!
Anyway, I want to thank Merica for her compliments today! I’ve still got a LONG way to go. Come on and do this thing with me! By the way, I want to thank the Diva crew that I worked out with today. Thanks for pushing me to go higher in the weights … you were right!

Knocked my workout out a little early today and so glad I did. As usual I was dreading getting on that treadmill, but I had to do it. I wish I could get my butt up at 5:00 or even 6:00 on a regular so I can just put it behind me … it just opens up my day so much when I workout early. Oh well … It’s over and I’m done until tomorrow (smile)!

On another note, I put on another suite today that I haven’t worn in a few years and it fit perfectly. I tried it on about a month ago and it was tight - but not as tight as it had been. This is so encouraging! I just can’t begin to even explain!
Let me again say … I can’t even BEGIN to get confident now. I have SEVEN long months to go, so this is really just the beginning. It’s not how you start … its how you finish … and I MUST FINISH THIS ON TOP!
