After having Turbo Jam for several months and just staring at the box for quite some time, I finally found some motivation within myself to say "if I don’t get up off this couch, & quit making excuses for myself, I will continue looking in the mirror, feeling disgusted, upset, and depressed with my efforts” Once I did that it took about a month of sporadic, at best, workout schedules. Then I realized I am the only person who can help myself right now, if I want to stay in for my kids I had to make myself a priority. I began getting up at 5am to workout before starting my work day, which also gives me weekends to spend with my kids, and early morning workouts where I don’t fear having anyone see my fat jiggle around. Its only been a short time of really putting forth effort, working out regularly, using WOWY, and going little by little, but I am already seeing such a great improvements in the numbers I am excited to continue on and see how I look come June or July this year. For me starting a regular schedule was hard, but then I said well I can start slowly and work with one thing at a time until I have a regular, comfortable feel with it and then add on. I figured exercise was the best place to start, being active is always healthier than not. So I started there and I eat sensibly normally so I figured I would get the exercise on a regular basis going and then hone down my food choices in a few weeks when I am really comfortable with the exercises. So far so good and I am still drinking alot of water and enjoying everything. I look forward to a slimmer me come summer!!! I am excited to walk on the beach with my daughters, hopefully in a swimsuit possibly even a bikini, but I’m not going to push. I’m going at a good pace and I will take it as it comes. KNowing that my husband is finally at a place where he wants to support me, is helping me alot. I told him I will probably never be smaller than a size 7. His reaction of shock was followed with "Well look at those people on Biggest Loser, you can't say that! I wouldnt be surprised if you ended up the same size as the kids babe!" With that a tear came to my eye and I knew he really saw the desire, determination, and will I have to succeed at being healthy in my life, no matter what size or numbers I see staring back at me. He said he will be there for me knowing now how much this is truly impacting my life already!!!

Since I truly started tracking January 4, 2007, I have lost 11 pounds and a total of 27.75” overall!!! That was the best moment in my day to see those results already. I can’t wait to see myself this summer!! I have come to the point of understanding and accepting that the number on that scale means nothing to me, how I feel, how my family and children see me, and how I see myself matters more to me than anything. If I still wear a double digit dress size, who cares. If I am happy, and healthy that will bring me far more joy than any number on my scale ever will. I want to look in the mirror and smile in sheer amazement at the results I see staring back at me. Thank you Chalene for creating something that I love to do everyday of my new life!!!! My journey continues and I will update next month!!!

I am currently working with a trainer at a local gym in combination with my Turbo Jam workouts. I am finally truly commited to getting this weight off and being healthy for good!
