My trainer took my measurements today. I am down 4 inches this month and 2% body fat. That means in two months I have lost 21 pounds, 8 total inches (4 from my waistline!), and 4% body fat.

My NSV, I got through two very tough strength training sessions this week. I kept telling my trainer "I can't." And she said "Yes you can." Then at the end, she said "You under estimate yourself." I said "I know. I think it's because two months ago, or even ONE month ago, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I keep forgetting that I'm not that person anymore. I'm healthier and stronger now." She said "You are. I don't want to hear "I can't" anymore."

So the measurements, getting through two really hard workouts, and my side by side "before and after 20 pound" pictures have really served to get my motivation going again!

God bless!

    That's great! And never tell yourself, "I can't," because then you won't. The only reason people fail is because they set themselves up for failure. If you expect it, it'll happen, so just expect to push yourself.

    Thanks so much! I've been so negative about myself for so long, that I have to change that habit. Just like I changed my eating habits, and struggled. Just as I was determined to work out, and struggled. But with each little victory, I become more and more positive!

    God bless!
