Hi everyone! To curtail off of lasts week post I was right about not losing any weight. And like I said before that it was ok, I had prepared myself and continued to work hard! Kelly left today to be gone for a week so I asked her if I could weight in since she won’t be here on Friday. Kelly thought that was a great idea, and boy am I glad we did! ;) I am down 3 pounds since Friday! That brings me to 286lbs! Since just Friday I have lost 3lbs! :D I can’t wait to see what the scale says when she returns next week!

While Kelly is gone I am going to continue with my workout routine. I won’t be waking up quite as early to make our 6am workouts but I will still be getting up to workout in my neighborhood at 6am instead. I’ll do jogging and power walking in the morning and if I still need to reach my calories burned I’ll power walk in the evenings. I’ve been maintaining my workouts and trying to improve with each session and I don’t want to lose the momentum just because Kelly won’t be in town. So I enlisted my friend JD to make sure that I’m getting my workouts done in the morning before work and working out in the evening if necessary. I know JD will keep me on point ;) I know I’m going to have to dig deep within myself to get out of bed in the morning knowing that I don’t have Kelly waiting on me. And in the back of my mind thinking I could just stay in bed and sleep in. Luckily I only have 4 days like that to make it without her. So I’ll stay focused and make sure to drag my big butt out of my warm bed.

So keeping a positive attitude…I try very hard to stay positive about my journey. Do I get deterred sometimes and aggravated, yes I do. But then I look at how far I’ve come and know if I’ve made it this far I can keep going! I know I usually look happy in my post workout photos, but if you could see the pain on my face during it, it wouldn’t be pretty ;) What keeps me going and having a positive attitude is the support from everyone around me! Seeing you like my photo on Instagram or my status update on Facebook. Leaving a comment of how proud you are of me, or messaging me and telling me what an inspiration I am (JR :D). That is what helps to keep me going and knowing that I can do this! Last week I said losing weight and working out is mental and it is, but in order to be successful you have to surround yourself with a great support team! Also writing this blog helps ;) I’m able to get my feelings out in the open. Even if I may appear happy with a smile on my face from day to day, don’t worry I am happy most of the time, unless you catch me of the end of a hard workout with Kelly in the morning. Yea not so pretty then haha I guess it’s like the saying “can’t see the forest for the trees”. I’m in this and not looking at it from the outside, I see my same reflection day in and day out. Do I notice the change? I see a few a little here and there, but my best mirror is you all! Hearing from people how skinny I look or that they had to do a double take because they didn’t recognize that it was me. I guess what I’m trying to say is yes I’m positive but I’m also human and have my bad days as well as good. But I’ve always been the type to try and look at the bright side of things. So if you’re trying also to lose the weight DON’T give up! Just keep working hard and you’ll see the results.
Well that’s all for now so until next time remember to stay focused and stay motivated!
