happily ever after

Doing it. I Finally feel like I am accomplishing what I want. It's been about 16 weeks since I began my journey. My progress isn't as fast as what I had hoped for but its getting there. I have lost around 12.5 lbs and feel like about 15 more is where I want to be. I can tell when I haven't worked out enough and am getting to the place that I am longing for a good workout. So weird. My clothes have noticed the biggest change. Although my wallet hasn't been as happy, I am so blessed that my mom was able to gift me quite a few pairs of designer jeans to tide me over until I reach the place that I want to be and then I can buy my own. I love getting dressed in the mornings and am just so exicted to see what the next four months have in store. I give all the Glory to God though, without Him none of this would be possible. Tonight we had a great workout on a very steep hill. I wansn't so sure, but I was pushed to keep going. After about a 1/2 mile of lunges we reached the bottom. We did a few short runs, and then the fun began. We were to sprint uphill and then walk down. Six times. Sounds super easy. However, this hill was more like a mountain and my legs were like jello. But I did it. After #4, I was praying. and praying. It was a  appreciative prayer however, being thankful for my legs, thankful for my lungs, and thankful for my trainer who was standing at the top shouting at me. Yes, without her,  none of this would be possible either. This journey isn't easy and every day it is a job. But I will not fail, because nothing in life worth having is easy. Thanks for all your supporting words, it means a lot!!! xoxo
