Lame Blogger

I feel like such a lame blogger these days.
I feel like I haven't been completely honest in the sharing of my life
because I have left out a huge chunk of it.
This huge chunk has been a change I have made over the past 4 months.

I haven't wanted to share it because it sounds so braggy.
I think it is easier for me to share when I am not making the best choices and am messing up and learning from it then to share when I am making good choices and am REALLY happy.
But never the less, it has been a huge part of my life lately.

So, in Oct I joined the new Gold's Gym near my house. Along with my membership I got 10 sessions with a personal trainer. I began following a very healthy, wonderful eating plan and working out 5 days a week. 3 days weight training, 2 days cardio.

I feel strong. I started out not being able to do 1 real push up and can now do 14!
I love eating healthy and just eating for the shear nutrient/fuel factor.
It feels amazing.
And..... it is not a diet. This is my new life style and I love it.

Stats:

5 inches gone
4% body fat gone
30 lbs. gone


Here is to a healthy, happy new me!

I truly believe that when we are wise stewards over our bodies we are blessed in many ways!
I struggled with and prayed for 3 years to be able to find the right way for me to be in good health and feel good about my body. And I feel truly guided to this point....
And ever so grateful!

Way to go! I started p90x 6 weeks ago and have noticed a lot of the same benefits that you mentioned: I feel stronger, I lost some weight/fat, I think I look better, I have lots of energy, and I can play sports longer/harder. Alison joined in a couple weeks ago and she's starting to notice the benefits, too.
