Pretty Good, but Could be Better

Today, I kept my caloric intake less than 1500 cals which for me is pretty good. My PT has me on about 1600/day so I came in good although my food choices were still a little poor. But I'm not beating myself up...I'm just glad I was able to stay within my allowance.

As some of you may know my PT has relocated out of state :-(
I'm currently not exercising as I should because its a lot more difficult to push myself the way having her pushed me. Having her check on my daily definitely kept me accountable. I can't afford anyone else to do what she did for her price so I joined the Discovery Health Challenge today...I figure maybe using Bally's for eight weeks free can be "new" enough to put me back on track.

I'm bringing sexy back! LOL

2008 is for new beginnings

Okay, so by the end of last year, I gained back 10 of the 20+ pounds that I had released. But I'm getting over that, slowly and surely. The encouragement from my fellow blogg-ettes has tremendously helped.

So, today, my eating was a little if-fy, but I did go get groceries so that tomorrow I will begin to get back on track. Another set back is that my personal trainer has moved to Atlanta, so I'm on my own in the gym. I really liked that she was there to make sure I was giving my all. Unfortunately, I'm a little intimated about finding someone new. I really loved her vibe and don't want to start all over :-(

But this is really just a test of my character (not my will). I am determined not to let this obesity thing get me. I was able to lose weight and lower my blood pressure not because I had fabulous will-power, but because I made a conscious decision to make a change for the better. I'm choosing that now again.

Happy New Year to all.

Peace, Love, & Light!
