I'm Back!!!!

I can not believe that I am finally better. I got sick with the flu last week and then I got better on Friday. Saturday morning early I woke up with the stomach bug. I mean Yuck! Not to mention that being sick, meant I had no desire to eat what so ever. So flu + stomach bug + not eating + no workouts or gym = disaster right? I thought so. I just knew that I was going to gain weight. That was not the case. I ended up losing 11 pounds! I do not want to ever lose weight that way again, but I am glad that I am not farther behind in reaching my goals. That puts me so much closer to getting seeing that 3 in front of my number. I will never see that 4 again. The point of no return- meaning that I will never return to the 4’s again. So to date I have lost 36.2 pounds and it is such a great feeling. I do want to thank Kevin and Kristen Harvey of Ignite Fitness because they have given all the tools that I needed to be a success. This journey is far from over we have about 6 weeks left, and then I still have a long journey to get to my goal weight, but I know that I will get there no matter what. If I do half as well the second half as I did the first half, then I will have accomplished so much. I had some emotional stress this week also with some family issues, but I listen to everything my trainer says and she said to leave it all in the gym, so that is what I have been doing. It has helped a whole lot. I find that I am still weak this week, and I am extremely nauseous, dizzy, and a little off balance during the workouts, but I am here and loving it. Here’s to hoping that I am back to normal next week. I have more news my mom and I are teaming up and doing Chattanooga’s Biggest Winner Contest. I am excited to see how much she has lost these past two weeks. I know that she will do great. I am still a big person but I want to find lots of things I can do with my boys outside and that we can do as a family outside. I want to be out there spending time with them. I know that they will never forget those times and I have some lost time to make up for. If anyone has any ideas please send them to me. I have not seen the me inside in a long time and I am very excited to meet her.
