Zac and fawn have in store for me its not about the # it is about my wellbeing

Wow! Today I feel great! Yesterday I went to Disneyland and had lots of fun.  I planned ahead as Fawn suggested and I packed my  food as if were a regular day of work so i didn't cheat and for dinner. I had chicken and q cumbers @ the Rainforest cafe  so pretty healthy meal. today i was productive feel good i was talking with confidence @ 830  i will go to the gym  and do the exercise zac wanted me to do yesterday since i did a lot of walking and got home late  that was my limit.

today was great  fawn showed me ladders which was fun we did push ups lunges  and squats  ran across the field we did 3 reps after that i weighed in and i lost & more lbs now i am @ 245 from 276 whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. super excited and cant wait to see what next week brings  i appreciate everyones support. another thing is i am able to wear a  size 42 from a size 46  so progress is happening

well  just got back from the gym n  while doing  a 20 min walk/run i got a lil dizzy  so took a breather and took a couple of drinks ok water  i decide to come home a still felt a lil dizzy and  PO @ my self  i txted fawn to let her know  she asked a few questions and ask if i ate i said yes  i had a couple slices of turky and the string cheses.  she knew what the problem was right away  i did not have a carb.  i feel  real upset  i should know this by know  i just want to keep going and  dont want to go back to my old ways  this was a lil discurageing for me cause this was not the first time it has happenedit will be  the  last

10-7-10

well yesterday i walked on the treadmill for 45 min at a fast pace and it felt  good. Today's work out is a run /jog combo for 45 min to 1 hour. Today i received a  couple of compliments  and i was asked what was the goal i said 220-215  it felt good and i hope i inspired the people who asked me i also had to put another hole in my belt and looks like i wear a size 44 again  but depends on the pants but either way i am not doing this to get anyones approval or to put on certain cloths i am doing this for me. If it wasn't for zac and fawn teaching me  i would have been gaining weight instead of loosing  it! I am slowly but surely learning my limitations and  not craving any of that  fast food  so i am getting there

10-4-10

Well now i am out of recovery week  and Fawn was not kidding when she said it was going to get harder. Zac is introducing weights mixed in with cardio. Fawn upped my calories a lil bit so now i need to push alot harder to meet the goal that we set for the beginning of the new year, which is  220 lbs  but its not about a # it is about new lifestyle!  I know I can reach that goal with my everyones support  I also set a goal to run a 5k in February so i have to work extremely hard for those goals especially for my self.
