It came to a point in life where I realized I am the only one that can change my bad habits and that it’s going to be hard but I just have to keep on going.
It all started when I was sitting on the couch dreaming about being in shape and going to the gym. “Me going to the gym”... by myself what would I do besides use the treadmill, and where do I start in weight lifting it was all so over whelming so I never did go. Couple days later again it was making me depressed, my feeling over weight and lack of exercise, so I walked out the door and headed down to Mawson Fitness and talked with one of the trainers that where there.
It inspired me and motivated me to get a personal trainer, I started with Shelly Turk. This woman is helping change my life as she introduced me to Turbulence training and introduced me to the web site. I had to join the contest not just for the money but to have an exercise program I can follow. Once I started TT Training I fell in love it is
Fun, keeps me on my toes, and slowly I start to feel a change, and every day I started to feel better. I had my slip and trips but the feeling of getting back up on my feet was inspirational to me knowing I could and that it was me in charge. This was the only thing I have control over made me feel mentally strong. My goal is to continue on my journey to a fit new me, a healthier new me, and most of all a happier new me.
My nutrition program played another important role in my transformation, no more junk food, no more dairy, no more sugar. 3 small meals and 2 healthy snacks sure helped out a lot. I would crave many things but snacking of veggies made me feel better. I looked forward to my binge day and enjoyed the little things I thought
I missed but the way they made me feel after was not too great. I still snack on the odd junk food but most days are getting better for my healthy eating plan.
Just at the very last week of the contest I read up on Eat Stop Eat and enjoying it so far.
