Day: FORTY!!

I just realized that this is week 6 and today is day 40 of my training – and life is good!
It hasn’t been entirely easy but I am pretty proud and happy today for sticking to it this long. And, just between us….I did sneak on to the scale at the gym yesterday. It said that I had lost 3 lbs. Six weeks and 3 lbs. I’m actually pretty happy with that because I do feel different and realize that my body composition is probably just shifting. I do feel stronger and I do feel slightly different in my clothes. People that i don’t often see do say that I look slimmer. I realize that I still have a long way to go and that this is gonna be my new way of living.

I haven’t worked out a whole lot since I last posted a blog because I was either dealing with emotional melt downs or dealing with a hurt ankle. Not sure what I did to my ankle but I was in some pain. My trainer and I did work out one night and I did the most stairs ever! LOL But, my ankle started to swell again. So now I’m training on a stationary bike til it heals a bit more.

As for my friends that are still not talking to me…my trainer says to forgive myself and to let it go. To give the situation away and to not let it affect me or my goals anymore.  I made a mistake, I’m learning from it and now it’s time to move on. If they are my true friends, they will forgive me and support me in my quest for living a healthier lifestyle.  If not, I am prepared to accept the loss of their friendship (it’s almost been 2 weeks and at this point, I’m starting to question how good of a friend they were to begin with). I do have a lot of other great friends that will experience the benefits from this loss.

As for my blown out computer, thanks to some really great friends, I am now up and running again! I am so Happy. Gonna kick it on the stationary bike this weekend!
