Losing Weight and Feelin Great!
This is my first Blog entry as we had some technical difficulties, I wanted to start by saying how inspiring everyone’s Blog entries have been. I look over them daily and I gain a great deal of strength from the other contestants as I see they know exactly what I am experiencing.
My journey to this point has been long! I have had the best trainers at the Patton Creek location. Tray, Camille, Donnie, they have kept me motivated, entertained and accountable! I have those days I dread going into the gym knowing it is going to be a hard work out , but I leave feeling like I could conquer the world! I am a wife and mom of three kids one of which is only 4 months old. My days are spent cooking, running errands and driving carpool. In the old days, I would leave to run some errands and always felt I needed to grab a quick bite to eat a little snack, little did I know each and every time I ran through for Blizzards, chicken nuggets, M&Ms, Large Sweet Tea that I was consuming thousands of calories, mostly because I was bored or trying to kill some time before our next scheduled event. Now with Healthy Connections I am learning what a snack really is! Have you ever tried a graham cracker with cream cheese and jelly how about my favorite Pita and hummus! Sometimes its even a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich, on whole grain bread of course! This is changing the way I think about food! Stay motivated fellow contestants! I know Summertime calls for chips and dip but Be strong! We can do it!!!!!
