Aren't they the cutest things you have ever seen? If you click on the photo you can see the baby in the back screaming at me "hey, stop taking our picture...we're working out!".
We are entering into our last week of workouts with our final fitness evaluation being next Thursday. I have lost 18 pounds, and have leveled off at 179 pounds. I still have 30 pounds to lose, so I'm not stopping by any means. I really feel like I now have the tools to continue. Those tools include the knowledge that I can do it. Before I had convinced myself that I was too old, too menopausal, too whatever to lose weight. It's not true. Now I jog and do squats and lunges and all the things that I was just too trifling to do. Yep, I know it now if I keep myself motivated, I can continue on until I am healthy and fit. I am most definately on my way.
I talked about losing weight for about five years and I dieted for various amounts of time and never lost much. I really wasn't convinced that exercise was the key, but now I know that I need to monitor my calorie intake and my activity level to do it. Knowing your own body is key to getting and staying healthy.
That's it for me for today. I'm sore as all get out from yesterday's workout, so I guess I'll mosey on down to my studio and sit on my fanny for a few hours.
Take care and call soon!

Congrats on the 18 pounds. Watching your progress I can say it has been well earned praise! I agree that most of us have some degree of prograstination over beginning to set up a regimen to lose weight...you are exactly right. Mine, however, is that I am lazy. There I finally admitted it to the ENTIRE world! Anyway, I am certain you can continue toward your goal -even without the trainer! Well done!!
