Update on Everything

Well,
It's been quite sometime since I have posted a blog in regards to my road to weight loss. Alot has happened since the last post and some of it being good and some of it being bad. I actually completed my first 5k Road Race and completed it in 29:58! Alot of it had to do with the people I was there with and the whole purpose behind the race. It was for Autism Awareness and the guy in the picture here with me happens to be a good friend of mine and has a child with a mild form of Autism, so its the least I could do for such great people! I have still actively been going to the gym and I have also associated a weight lifting routine into my workouts. It consists of different weight lifting routines x3 days a week! I have seen and felt some results from it so far. I do want to bring everyone up to speed on my actual weight loss. I have actually been staying away from the scale and not been weighing myself as often as I once was. The problem with weighing yourself all the time is you set yourself up for disappointment, your body does weird things and your weight will fluctuate, if you step on the scale all the time you will see ups and downs in your weight and then you will get disappointed and throw the flag in. Well recently I happen to do this to myself... I got on the scale and it read 3 more lbs the I was at last weigh in.. I was pretty upset and down in the dumps.. well for a couple hours anyways! I thought good and hard about things and just remembered all the support and good things all of you have said to me and it made me realize something.. I'm about halfway to where I want to be and I'm no longer carrying around an extra 40lbs..I feel better...I look better....and I'm not going to stop until I get where I want to be! This is my time to shine and I'm not letting myself or any YOU my supporters down! I have inspired many of you to start your own road to weight loss and I want you to know that when you have a bad day or week for that matter...don't let it get you down!!! Make that next day or next week your strongest you have ever ever had! Get out and give it 110 percent! When you feel like giving up and giving in don't! Do yourself a favor and keep your head up! Know that I'm here to support you and you can call or write anytime! I have been through many obstacles on my road to weight loss and I'm sure there not over with! But I have prevailed every time and you can too! It means alot to me when somebody tells me that I have inspired them to start on there own road to weight loss or when somebody calls me or asks me something that pertains to losing weight or feeling better about themselves. I don't have all the answer and I never will! but you can be damn sure I'm going to try my best to keep you motivated and keep you on track to your goals! Like I always say! If you want something bad enough, you will go out and give it all you got until you get it, if not you will make excuses to why you cant have it! Until next time!! Keep fighting the good fight! I'm here for YOU!
