Getting back on track

Well thanksgiving is behind us. And you know this year I was pretty good. Made sure that I used portion control and drank plenty of water, and used my High Nutrient supplements and was even able to get in a 2 mile run/walk at the gym that morning. When I went to weigh in I was up 4 pounds. And no I did not gain that all in one day. I had been struggling over the couple of weeks leading up to the holiday. Was under a lot of stress at work and had not been able to workout as often as I wanted to. And then on top of everything ended up breaking my hand. So those 4 pounds actually were over a 2 week period.

So now I am getting back on track. I decided to get back on the Meta quick plan which is pretty strict. So that I can push past this plateau. Time to get really serious and get back on track to losing the rest of the weight that I want to lose. And now I have my game plan to make it through Christmas. My plan is that I will work out at least 3-5 days per week. Making sure to stay within the 200 minutes per week that Metabolic advises for optimum weight loss. Will also make sure that I am getting in at least 100 oz of water everyday. Will go to weigh in at least 2 days a week. As a friend said don't settle for anything less than progress. And that is what I am doing. Focussing, or should I say refocussing on my plan and working towards my goals. By the time that I finish my weight loss and finish school I will be a totally different person. One who will be able to do anything I want. Will be able to keep striving for my dreams and who will hopefully be able to  help and inspire others to change their lifestyles and live the best, healthiest life possible. If I can change my lifestyle and be able to overcome the many serious health issues that I faced anyone can do it.

You know if you had asked me last thanksgiving what I was most thankful for and what i was looking forward to in the coming year, I wouldn't have been able to tell you. Because at that point I was still dealing with so many health issues. But in this past year I have been able to reverse the effects of high blood pressure and hypertension. I have been able to reverse the effects of the multiple sclerosis to the point that I no longer have signs or symptoms of it. And now I have been able to fight the effects of obesity. And am going to break past the point where I will no longer be considered obese. And I am changing my life to the point where by going to school to be a certified fitness trainer I will be able to do something that I am truly passionate about and will be able to do what I love and that is to help and hopefully inspire others. So I have so much to be truly and deeply thankful for this year. And the blessings that God keeps giving me just make looking to the future even more exciting. Can't wait to see what the coming year holds.

I passed....

I haven't written for a few days but I have been pretty busy studying....And I just did my first 3 part quiz and I passed!!!!! YEAH! Now its on to studying the next section which is Kinesiology and Biometrics. Gonna be a big one. But you know I don't mind cause I am really enjoying my classes and it is making so much more sense how the muscles and nerves work and how what we put in our mouths really does effect the body and how the body breaks it down or not. So for me this is just proving that my decision to lose weight and change my lifestyle to a much cleaner, healthier, fit one was the best decision I could ever make.

And now with starting this part of my journey to become a certified Fitness Trainer, I want to share my passion for health and fitness with others so that I can better help them to live the best life they can. And I want to continue to inspire others through my journey because if I can overcome the many health issues and obstacles that I have anyone can.
