So, God has an awesome sense of humor. As well as some seriously divine connections w/ people and places. Through a friend, I was connected w/ a personal trainer. Her name is Debbie. And I had my first (impromptu) session w/ her...I went to see her in jeans and a t-shirt, not realizing she'd be working me out that same day! lol Needless to say, I was "glistening" (her word, not mine!...I just call it plain dripping sweat! lol).
I loved her on sight and felt immediately comfortable and encouraged. She's also a believer. And one thing she said to me that made me super excited, was that she'll be praying for me daily. And I'm SOOOOOO excited about that!! She stated this as she warmed me up and made me almost pant on the treadmill. haha
So, tonight w/ the encouragement of meeting a new goal, as well as reading a friend's post on Facebook on her making new goals for the new year regarding fitness, I sat down in front of the Hallmark Channel (hey, I did my workout already! Can you say the same?!) and watched a sappy movie (I love the Hallmark Channel during Christmas!). And wrote down my goals through April 30, 2012. And I shall write them out here.
And I'm going to be as brutally honest as possible. Ugh. I hate numbers!
So, I'm starting this journey at 272 lbs. I know, I know...most people say I don't look that big, but I am. The scale says so, and so do the pant sizes. But hey!! I started this journey at a whopping 285 lbs, so that's a VAST improvement!!!! Hard work DETERMINATION!!!!!!
