Look how far I've come. . .

It's been 13 weeks - since I started training with Angela.
My progress has been fast and slow.
I am still overweight.  BUT, I am not gaining more weight.  I have lost 8 lbs..  I have lost lots and lots of inches too. And I have gained tons of muscles.  I can bench press 20 lb dumbbells in each hand (15 reps 3x).  I can run 10 minute mile for 20 minutes and then workout on other machines/lift/etc.  (when I started my mile was 14 minutes, today I can do 1 mile at an 8 min mile pace).  I don't ache as much as I did.

I love working out.  I love being strong. I love definition.  I love the high I get from it.  I love that my husband supports me a ton - I always have to show off my muscles to him and he pays attention, and tells me I'm strong and it makes me laugh.  I still have 30 lbs to go.  And I'm going to get there. But, today I am relishing in the fact that I am STRONG!

Seeing myself become stronger . . .

"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them."


I have been getting stronger.  It's fun to watch. It's fun to do.  I feel that as I work hard, and rely on the Lord, manage my time, set goals, and follow experts (to guide me) that life for me is changing.  And I am becoming a better person for it.


I know I have been vague in my last few posts.  But, I will share more later.  Right now, I am continuing to be strong!


Here is a fun video that is fun.
