I woke up this morning, feeling anxious, excited, nervous, and hungry. Today is the first day of the rest of my new and improved life. Eek! While I was getting ready for work, my phone signaled I had a new text message. My personal trainer, Ashley, started my day off right. I am always encouraged by her "You Can Do It!" attitude, and that little reminder of the support I have behind me was what I needed.
My first food pick-up is not until tomorrow evening, so I am on my own for the next two days to make healthy, yet filling, meal choices. Oatmeal for breakfast - good one. A chicken breast with some pickles for lunch - on the right track. I'm winning so far!
I have my first personal training session with Ashley this afternoon at 5. To be honest, I am a little scared. On the other hand, I couldn't imagine being paired with a better trainer (I'll probably rave about this girl throughout my journey!). The outpouring of support from friends, family, co-workers, and my trainer has been overwhelming. I feel like I'm not only doing this to improve my quality of life, but to make everybody proud. What a great feeling to have such a strong foundation to start with. I can't thank everybody enough!
LET'S DO THIS!!!
Day 1 - 183 lbs. Plenty to go.
You can do this and I'm so excited for you! Big support coming from this end of the office. Can't wait to learn about the workout and food tips you learn!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Leslie YGG. My journey began this January as well so you can help keep me motivated. With a new granddaughter - I want to be able to enjoy her for many "healthy" years.
