So last year in November I decided to start a new lifestyle change. I'm not going say workout plan or diet, because honestly that's not what it is. I decided I wanted to focus more on myself, my health, and my happiness. So I went ahead and started training with a personal trainer.
From the get-go I told her I would not go on some crazy fad diet (I've had a bad history with diets before) and that I would take it nice and slow. Slowly but surely I started working out with her and my mom who also wanted to try it out. I remember our first workout... how out of breath I was, and eventually I got so bad I almost fainted. But I didn't quit.
Some days were harder than others. But with each day I felt I could push myself a little more... I felt stronger. My body started feeling tighter and leaner. I started to enjoy buying new clothes and taking pics of myself. I felt more confident, and it showed... everyone would tell me I looked great and to keep up the good work.
We are almost a year from when I started and I have to say I feel a huge difference. I mean I'm eating healthier... yes; but I am not starving myself. I am not keeping myself from eating things I like or going out and having fun. I'm not working out everyday. But when I work out I feel so good... much stronger than I ever did before.
Just yesterday I did something I know a year ago would not have been possible. I did leg lifts with a whopping 225lbs!! And I wasn't dying in the process!! That is HUGE progress... who would have thought I could have done that a year ago. (Just look at the video my trainer took!!)
I really have to say this has been a journey... and it continues to be a journey. It will never end.. but with each day a little more progress is made. Hopefully as months go by I can continue to share my journey. And just like Michael Bublé sings.... "and I'm feeling good...."
