Its a great day to be alive!

Well,
In the past few weeks I have accomplished something I never even thought I could do, and that is jog more then 10 feet without passing out! It was just last week when I started jogging and this week I have completed a whole 2 miles without stopping!! It does help when you have a partner such as Chris Cherry or Chief Desrosiers but regardless solo or with a partner I have been getting out there and giving it all I've got! Now onto the weight issue! I have been weighing myself about every other week and most times I have been very happy with the results! Well this past weigh in I was down 2lbs! I sat there in disappointment in the locker room saying to myself "I ONLY lost 2lbs..?" well after a long day of thinking about ONLY losing 2lbs I thought... Why am I so hard on my self for ONLY losing 2lbs? I came to the conclusion that I would no longer consider any weight loss to be "ONLY" x amount of lbs because any weight off your body is a good thing whether its 1 or 10lbs it is still weight that you will not have to carry around anymore!!! Over the last few months I've had many people tell me I'm an inspiration to them and they even went as far as hiring Andy or going to the Gym on there own. Well if it wasn't for all you people giving me support and inspiring me to give 100 percent then I would probably still be making excuses to why I cant work out or lose weight! So with that being said and learning from that experience I wish you all would just stay away from the scale and only go on it once in a while maybe once or twice a month! Its good to know how much you lost but it also will make you upset if you get on it and there is no weight loss!! but that doesn't mean there was no progress!!! Your making your body stronger!!! your clothes start to fit better!!! and your doing a good thing by getting in shape!!! Soo all of you out there keep fighting the good fight your all doing a hell of a job!!! Feel free to get in touch with me if you need guidance or support!!! Thanks again for all your SUPPORT!

End of Week 8 !

Well tomorrow marks the end of week 8 and my 2 month mark! There was a point where I wanted to throw in the flag and just say "fuck it" because that was the easiest thing to do and hell its alot easier to just say "fuck it" and just be lazy! Well you know what?!! I have never felt so good in my entire life and I actually can't wait to hit the gym each and every day! Its a rush like no other to get you heart racing and your blood pumping! I can remember the day when I walked into Old Navy looking to buy a new outfit..Soo I walked over to the button down shirts and found one I liked.. I slipped it on and started to button it up..Well I made it about 2 buttons up and Its started to get tight as if I was going to burst at the seems... I couldn't believe it....My favorite place to shop and I cant even fit into there clothes anymore... I was pretty depressed but yet I still managed to find excuses to why I couldn't go to the gym and eat healthier..It was always easier to say "Well I'll start next Monday, that way I'll start on a new week" well any of you who are saying this or have said something similar.. your full of shit..because you and I both know when Monday comes its gonna be next week because you happen to find something better to do! There comes a time when you have to put the excuses aside and take the bull by the horns!! Believe me when I say.. I was the worst when it came to excuses and I had them all!!! Look at me now I'm 2 months into I'm down almost 30lbs and I feel GREAT!!!! So let me leave you with this in ending... IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Quit with all the excuses and get out there!!! Hell give me a call I'll go for a run with you!!! I would also like to commend Cherry for saying goodbye to 290 this week!!! Colleen T for giving it all she has with Andy!!! and Pamos for giving it all she has with Andy as well!!! I'm very proud of all you!!! Keep up the Good Work!
