Progress.....whether I like it or not

So I am finishing up my third week of regular exercise and cutting back on what I eat.  Let me share with you that despite what some have told me, I have not come to love exercising.  I loathe every minute of it.  But God has been there holding my hand and pushing me forward and definately been keeping my ambition high.  I feel great once I get started, but it is a bear to get going.  It is getting easier, so its time for a new workout.  That was suppose to happen at the beginning of this week, but thanks to my work schedule I couldn't meet with my trainer this week.  Monday brings new challanges.  I am looking forward to see what she has for me.

Now my diet isn't perfect.  I still eat the things I like.  I've just learned to eat better things more often and the things that were daily staples are now occassional or considerably less.  I have lost a few pounds and definately feel better.  My sleeping habits are much improved.  I barely move at all now and I was a pretty active sleeper.  The greatest thing about this experience so far has been the overwhelming support I am getting.  From coworkers, my mom, my friends, even people I don't see regularly but my mom does are encouraging me.  God is definately making sure I succeed.  He is holding my hand every step and His loving words of encouragement flood my heart.

  2. Trust me, it hasn't been easy. I have to push hard even when I don't feel like it I do it. I am by no means a perfect example but I am giving it my all. I fail, pick myself up, and start again. I want it too badly to give up now. I don't want to die young.
