I am feeling great. I rocked at the gym today doing 4x the weight I thought I could do! I really realized how much I have changed as a person in the last year.
I have always been determined. I want to do things my own way and as many people could tell you, I stood my ground on the things I wanted, believed or thought. I haven't changed that determination just refocused it. I am determined to push myself to the limits. If it means adding weight or doing more reps, I'll push until I can't.
I can not take all the credit for my success. I owe it to a few other people as well.
My trainer, you have heard me mention him a few times, is amazing. He took me from doing a few lunges, fake sit-ups, barely push-ups to 100's of lunges, 100's of hollow rocks (harder than sit-ups!) and more push-ups than I like to think about. He never stopped pushing me to do more, encouraging me when I felt weak and not wanting to try anymore and amazed at how great I am today. He helped me set up regular workout routines, diet helps and a shoulder to complain to about my diet, workout and stress in relation to the whole thing. I am happy to have Zack as my trainer.
My friend Carrie offered initial diet tips and snack ideas when I was at a loss.
My friend Chantal for believing in me and what I could do it.
While my physical appearance has changed a lot and that is what many people see, it is really more of a change on the inside. Knowing I can do, want to do and have the ability to know that the only person that really matters in all of this, is me.
