Get it started!

Alright the ride has started- please keep your hands and feet in the moving vehicle at all times while in motion. Yup, we met with our trainers today, measurements and weight taken, and given our diet. Yeah- we got a food plan for one day! cook, swallow and repeat. I have a little anxiety because I was hoping for more food options- because I want to know how I am going to change my life. Not likely to say that I am going to eat the same thing everyday FOREVER! Before I get myself ruffled up, I inhale and remind myself that you have to desire a change and do whatever you have to to get things rolling. We're moving baby! My masters of pain are Antionne and Matt! They seem nice....now! Antionne is cool- we share the same birthday and he did the most talking so I feel comfortable around him..now. Matt is quiet, nice, but quiet. I found out that he went to high school with me and a football player to boot. I am trying to not let this stir up feelings of resentment- High school was not the best time of my life and the "popular kids" loved to remind me of that. They do know what they are talking about though- Their arms are insane! Getting ready for the game- GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- and I already know that no Bud light for me- give me a jug of water!

I'm pumped! and that's me

Birthday Party

I went to " my little man's" first birthday party! He gives me a temporary cure for my baby fever! I have seen women at the gym when they are in such great shape but with big pregger bellies. I want to be a mom someday but I want to be in good health before I get to that point! You know it is not good when people ask you how many kids you have.... it might have something to do with my shelf like hips! J-lo eat your heart out- I have hips that can balance twins baby. BTW- even when I was not overweight I still had a J-lo butt, so I still like my butt --I'd just like it a little smaller!

Shout Out!

I have been thinking of this for the past few days of who I am going to think of to get me through that last 5 mins of exercise or to eat one more salad. Of course, I will rely of my faith in God to know he will not give me anything I can't handle and my hubby and family. But additional influence is my "Brother". Capt Pike, Army- he was sent out for the second time and if he can battle bombs, heat, sand, and constant danger- then Dang it I can conquer a treadmill!

That's all I have to say 'bout that! ; )

Ouch!

Let me enlighten you all on a little subject called....Plantar Fasciitis. If you have had it before or know someone who has it - than God Bless the souls. If you haven't had it -it is simple...the lining tissue in your feet swell causing a discomfort. BULL! It feels like you are walking on hard plastic stage and someone is underneath you with a sledge hammer and swinging up at your feet everytime you step. BLAM< WHAM! It hurts so bad and worse in the morning. Tell me why in the morning a 25 year old has to hobble around like a 90 year granny?...to avoid putting full pressure on their feet.
Here's the silver lining, reports have said it is common in obese/overweight people and if I take off the weight it should help with my pain or help make it go away! More encouragement to wear heels for a night on the town!

Pick Me!

I signed up for the Biggest loser because I am ready for a change. I had an awesome body and self-confidence to match over 6 years ago. Same sob story...School was too time consuming, my hubby and I went out to eat too much, planning to move and a wedding is too stressful. Before I knew it, I am the biggest I have ever been. I have tried it my way and now it is time for their way! I am planning a trip overseas to Australia in Sept/Oct for my "sister's" wedding. I will also see people I haven't seen in ten years so there is always going to be a camera somewhere! I want to be able to keep those memories with me and know that I was happy and healthy!

Ready, set, DROP!

Okay, if you were going to ask me how I feel only days/hours before meeting out trainers and knowing exactly what I got myself into, I would say this. Picture a stranger coming up to you and asking, " do you want to jump off the high dive with me?" and before you can reply with "sure, how deep is it?" They are looking at you "What are you worried about! It will be FINE~MOVE!"

Honestly, I am totally excited about this experience! I am ready to challenge myself and see how far I can push myself! Ready, Set, JUMP!
I can do this!
