This is Not EASY

This is not easy!  My life is hectic and then trying to squeeze a work out is hard.  I had to keep telling myself that it there is a means to an end. I had to take a hard look at myself in the mirror and say "Carla you need a change in your life, not only physically but mentally."  I know that I can do it. 

When I got to Anytime Fitness I got on the tread mill and starting working on my HIT ( High Intensity Training).  That is where I power walk for a minute and run for two minute.  This really gets my heart a pumping.  I felt really charged and ready to do the rest of my work out.  When I finish I was debating rather or not to put my before shots up and I have not felt confident enough yet to do so.  But I will tell you this I look at myself and if that don't motivate me, nothing will.

Sometimes we go through so much with our families, friends, relationships and we need to stop and take care of ourselves.  I realize if I don't love and take care of myself, I can not love anybody else.  Right now I have to take care of myself and start a new chapter in my life.  No More Excuses!!!!

Early Morning wake up!

OMG!!!  I woke up at 4:30 a.m. fired up ready to go.  I was ready to begin my new transformation at Anytime Fitness.  It's a small gym but yet has all the latest exercise equipment.  I feel that Anytime Fitness is geared towards  people that like a small gym feel but with a big gym results.  While I was there I said a little prayer and I began on the eliptical machine.  I worked out for about an hour.  It was a good start and I felt great this morning. 

When I got done working out I forgot  I needed my start weight so I went to my local emergency room and  got my exact weight.  When the nurse told me that I weigh 220 lbs I said WOW!!  I got some work to do.  I did take my before pictures of myself but I will wait until I dropped a few pounds until I post them.

I was a little sad about my weight  but I realize that God is with me.  And I know I can do anything with him on my side.  I took hard look in the mirror at myself and said this is your beginning of a new beginning.  Walk, run and leap into it.  Only I can change me!

My Transformation!

Hello my friends,

Today is the day that I will be held accountable to drop 50 lbs.  The method of my madness is accountability.  I figure if I show my start and finish of my weight loss that my friends and family will motivate me to keep going.  Since my last  birth of my  son I  have not gotten back to my goal weight.  I can contribute to a lot of things but lets just say a lack of motivation.  Well the buck stops here!  This  time I am going to finish to the end with the help of my friends and family.  The mind is the major component of me accomplishing my goal.  If I believe it, I can achieve. Here I Go!
