Changing Your Life

What does it mean to change your lifestyle?  It means you never look back.  I don't think it means that you never mess up - I think it means that when you do fall flat on your face (ex: way too much peanut butter fudge!) you get back up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward!

We made it through a 12 week session of First Place.  I'm so proud of the girls that were in the group, and I look forward to seeing some of them again in a second session starting in January.

In the mean time, I've continued to work out at Bally's at least once a week.  I need to get more active again.  I've lost a total of about 20 pounds!  I'm around 190 now (I have been floating between 190-193 for a month now).  The only reason I haven't broken the 190 barrier is because of my own shortcomings... not exercising enough and not being strict on my diet.

But what's great is that I see the lifestyle change - I LOVE to work out now and when I go to Bally's I'm pushing myself to try new things and do them harder.  I ran on the treadmill tonight for a quarter mile.  That is something I could NEVER do before.

I could go over all the reasons why it's SO worth changing your life and becoming more healthy - do it for yourself, do it for your spouse, do it for your kids, do it for God... the real question is - why not do it?

We only have one life.  Live it.  Now.
