I'm Sorry

I didn't mean to call Mike a jerk, (I meant it lightly).

I had a better night Thursday.  We worked on back exercises and a little more arm stuff.  I am happy with my program for the time being.  I think if I can get back into the swing of things that I will reach my goals. 

I have been looking on Pinterest for some good meal ideas, but I feel limited to what I can make because, as much as Shawn is a great supporter of everything, we have totally different tastes in food. 

Maybe we can compromise! 

Mike Is A Jerk

I had a trainer last night named Mike... He is mean, and made me do things I did not want to do. He made me sweat, he made me swear and he made me sore!

But as the saying goes "No Pain, No Gain". There's lot of gain because I am feeling lots-o-pain!

I am putting myself through it all again on Thursday.  And I'm a little scared.

Here goes nothing!

It's Official

By "it", I mean the gym. I made an appointment with a trainer for Monday and Thursday. 

Some people have asked why I need a trainer.  Long story short,  motivation.  I need something to keep me going. Someone to put a plan in motion for me to follow so I'm not going at everything half-assed.

Now, if I can someone to cook proper meals for me, I'd be all set haha!

Insert Clever Title Here.

Wow. 

Over 2 years since I've posted in this blog.

A lot of crap has happened since the last time I posted. 

I am not going to be one of those "New Year, New Me" people.  But I feel this year I want to do more. 

This blog's intent was for my journey through the struggle with my weight loss.  I decided to open the blog up again, and for sake of argument, start over.

Through the last 2 years I have gained some special friends, I have also lost some special people in my life.  The job aspect has changed. I am still with the same company, just a different position.  I love it, but sometimes feel like I am being used because they keep calling my back to do what I was doing before in addition to what I am doing now.  But I am sure that will be coming to an end soon.

Back in mid November I joined the gym again, and felt like I was home. I am renewing my membership tomorrow.  8 months for the price of 6.  That will give me ample time to misplace almost 60 pounds by my birthday.

I took "before" pics of myself today.  Tucked them far in the deep corners of hell and will only be brought back at the end of the 8 months.  Measured every extra roll on my body for comparison when my journey is complete. 

I am not posting this for encouragement or attention. I am simply putting it out there for my benefit.  If you read it, thanks.  If you don't, no sweat off my back.
