Week 24

Alot is happening since I last put in a blog I was sending in a Blog everyday during the Robs Big Loser Competition but now that is over I will catch up  and continue.  My highest weight was 370 my weight on Christmas day I weighed 335 and my weight to date is 284 I am close to my 100 pound weight loss and that is my half way point.   I have been working out the Caine Halter YMCA at the Y along with your membership they have something that is called Wellness Works and with that you get to meet with a personal trainer or coach and they do an assessment they will give you a workout plan and you meet with them  once a week.  It is  a 12 week program and you  can start it over every 12 weeks.  I have been in this wellness works since January when I started  I was weighing 329 45 pounds later and more than 12 inches I am starting my second 12 weeks and am looking forward to the next 45 pounds.  I have also started taking exercise classes and that is the reason why I have had  such success I absolutely love Body Combat it is a tough  class but you get an all body workout and I contribute this class to why  I have lost so many  inches.  I also take hydrocycle, kettlebell, body sculpt, Zumba classes and I took one yoga class I found out that class was not for me.   I found out that I needed to find the things that I like to do and to live an active lifestyle.  For me the classes push me harder than I would work out otherwise.  I won 7 out of 12 weeks and I won 140.00 of gift cards to Dicks Sporting Goods I bought something I had wanted which was a bicycle and now I ride it to and from the Y which is 5 miles each way which adds to my workouts.   My next goal is 270 and then after that 244 so my goals are set.  There is something that I didin't expect to happen and that is that people at the y would get encouraged by me I never thought that would happen.  I hear something from someone different every day.  I never thought that someone would watch me and believe in me to where they decided to pay for my membership for 4 months.  It actually  makes me work harder because now I have a responsibility not only to myself but to others.  Bishop always says your gift will take  you to a place that your charcter can't keep you.  I thank God for the gift that God has given me and I  thank God that my Charcter can keep me.  Lord, Jesus thank you for the charcter to sustain.   Next time I will talk about the changes in my diet because food is actually 70% of weight loss.
