GREAT DAY!

So I went to another class today and I am sooooo happy I did it. It was great. Met a few new friend. I really think I am going to enjoy going to the class every week. I am the youngest in the class, but I am alright with that. It a very low basic Aerobics class. With saturday class, I was able to do most of them do to some old injuries (shoulder and knee), but with class, I was able to almost all of them except for one. I also learned last night that the class from Saturday is one of the harder classes to take. But it just shows me that I can do it.

Now that the Holidays are upon us. I pray that I can continue to do this. It's going to be hard. But I have great determation to keep it going. And I have a great partner (My cousin) to help me to! Thank you to everyone who has support me during the life style change. It's been great.

New Measurements

So what got me going to the gym was this 21 day fit study. Well, the 21 days was up on Thursday. So we redid my meaurements. I am happy with the result already. A total of 7 inches lost:-) It's a start. I have a long ways to go but I got a great start to it.

In honor of my 7 inches lost, I decided to try a class for the first time today. I talked my cousin in taking it too. I think she enjoyed it more then I did. I was able to do everything, but I gave it my all. And just modified things to help me. I am looking forward to do a different class on Wednesday.

I just hope with the holidays coming up that I don't lose sight of what I've working towards. It's been starting to get crazy at work. I just pray that I will keep on track with this and By January 1st I'll be under 200.

Day 7

I am proud of myself. I got up at quater till 7 and got ready to go out work this morning before work. I was angery with myself from yesterday, cause I didn't get out out bed early enough to go and it messed my whole day up ( I think). So I wasn't about to do it again this morning.

I got my full workout in and now I have to go get ready for work. BUSY BUSY day! But I am ok with that. After work, scrapbooking at church:-)

Getting Back to My Blog

I keep forgetting that I have this blog, so I am restarting it. I know most people don't look at it. But it's going to become a journal for me while I am on this journel.

Last thursday I officially joined a gym. It's an all women's gym. And I am enjoying it more and more every time I go. The ladies are very sweet that work there. I feel like I can talk to them whenever I am struggling with any machine or anything they are there to help.

It looks like I will be going tuesday through saturday. My plan is to do Cordio on Tuesday's and Saturday. And then do the circuit on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Once I get my strength up I am planning on joining a two of the class that they offer ( I am also waiting till my cousin joins once she is done with jury duty).
Today was Day 6 in my workout. It felt really good today. I increased two of the weights on the machine cause it just felt too easy. Most of the machine I am doing weight between 30 to 40 pounds which is already for me right now. One machine I am only at a 20 due to my shoulder injury for two summers ago. But it's getting better, I just have to patient and not give up.

Well, I hope to be able to update this every day with how things are going with working out.

WOW!

It's been a long time since I posted on this blog.

Let's start from the last post. After Patrick's birth in January, one of my role models passed away all of a sudden. I was working with her in Awana, so I took over the Sparks Counsel Time which was a new experience that I have enjoyed and I am looking forward to this coming year of Awana. Every night I could sense that she was there watching over me. I MISS HER!!!!!!!!!

February started off great. Ben and I went to Camp Barakel with a group of people from our church. Ben and I worked on the West Side with Al and Connie. It was a great weekend. After we got home, Mom sat all three of us kids down to inform us what was happening with our Grandpa. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Doctors were only giving him a few weeks to live. During this time, I was still looking for a job. I ended up finding one three days before he passed away.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I've visted his grave so many times. I have been helping my mom by going through his belongs. I have alot of things that do remind of me of things him and I did together. For a while there, my room was smelling like moth balls (which I know a lot of people hate that smell, but it reminds me of my grandparents house.

During the month of March, I went to a Red Wings game with Matt on his Birthday. Red Wings won:-)Matt can get tickets from his co-worker. Ben and Matt usually go to the game on their birthday, but since neither of them could afford the tickets, Matt's co-worker just gave them to him. Ben already had plans with Becky, so Matt asked me if I would go.

Ben got engaged on Easter weekend. He met Becky on ChristianMingles.com APril fo 2007. She canceled some date because she thought he was too clinging, but after some persuing, they started dating. They are planning a Jun 1st, 2009 wedding.

I have to stop for now. I will continue the update later.
