Sorry I haven't posted lately things have been quite busy between starting two new classes at school, moving to a bigger place, fundraising and working full time.
This past Saturday I ran/walked my very first 5k race, I had to push through some soreness midway but I was able to finish it all. I felt a sense of accomplishment within myself for beating the odds by losing weight and being capable to finish this with out any ankle soreness like before I lost the weight. I know I still have a ways to go with beating this obesity but this gave me even more hope and determination to lose this weight. Recently I have felt I was losing my drive to defeat the battle of the bulge but after speaking with Rob G. and completing my marathon I feel like that hope has resurfaced. I am considering switching gyms because my current gym doesn't offer spin classes and I feel I am ready to try taking some classes since I am currently not working with a trainer since my sessions have ended. I do plan on going back to Duilio once things get settled down a bit financially. Losing weight can get quite pricey between gym fees , nutrition, nutritionist and training so I have decided to take a short break to get financially more stable again.
I have been beating myself up lately because with my busy schedule I have not been able to get to the gym consistently or see my Nutritionist and this past week some mean person told me that I was "Way to Heavy" for my height and said some other harsh things. I have tried to overlook those comments but deep down they always effect me. I have prayed about it and prayed for the person who said those mean comments because I know I am trying and making an effort to change my life and my body.
I do have some news to announce- My husband and I have agreed that it is time to start trying for a family we feel it is time to bring a new little one into the world. I know some of you are thinking " But YOU still have thirty pounds to lose" and I understand your concern there that is why I am going to continue to eat right, drink my water and workout. There are some medical concerns not so much regarding my weight but from when I had cervical cancer cells removed a few years ago. Apparently, new research has been done regarding the surgical procedure I had done and they are saying some woman cannot conceive or may have a very hard time conceiving a child. Eddie and I are hoping for the best, we pray daily and support one another as much as possible. I won't lie when I heard this on Friday of last week I did cry and was very upset at first but now I realize that just because they may say that doesn't mean that this will happen to me. I am trying to stay positive and we will keep trying until we get our precious bundle of joy. I would like to Thank my husband for always standing by my side and supporting me even when he doesn't always agree with somethings I may want to do. I am very blessed to have such a great husband and family and of course my friends to help push me along this crazy, beautiful life!
Thank you all for following, reading and supporting me!!!
