Can I just say how thankful I am for my trainer Elle!!!! Last night she challenged me, pushed me out of my comfort zone and empowered me again...today I feel stronger and yes sore. I am so grateful to have such an amazing trainer in my corner, guiding me through the fitness part of my journey.

This morning I put on clothes that I wore hurt last week and they are swimming on me, yet my weight hasn't changed more than a pound but my body has. I also have to go shopping for a new winter coat, my coat from last year that used to sit at my waist is now below my butt and so big I look like a high school girl wearing her boyfriends jacket...except I'm older so it just looks bad.

Tonight I have training again and I'm so sore today, I can hardly lift my arms. i realize that while most people my age can do so much more weight wise, I have come so far and am thankful for what I can move. With my knee, back and shoulder issues I think I'm doing pretty good. I'm challenged and that's all that matters right. I am becoming the best "healthy me" I can be and that's realy what it's all about, competing with ourselves to be better than we were yesterday.

Stay strong and keep trying...we can do it!
