Happy Thursday everyone!!! I am so excited! First, my trainer kicked the sick right out of me Tuesday night, increased my weights and incorporated more challenging exercises. I woke up yesterday feeling as though something finally clicked, I felt stronger, leaner, more mentally focused and full of energy. It was fantastic! I had energy all day and although work was crazier than usual, I blew through everything and no stress eating. Probably because I had planned my food out the day before and on...The Universe Is Always Testing Me

Today is trainer Tuesday!

I've been working hard at the gym, riding the stationary bike to strengthen the muscles around my knees and legs, working hard with the trainer and recording every calorie consumed for a mere two weeks. All my hard work has paid off...yesterday, I ran out of di...My weight on the scale is just a number, it does NOT define me.

I love it when a plan comes together, yesterday I was hoping to correct a miscalculation of sodium I made wednesday and it worked! I lost an additional 3 ounces as well, I'm down 2lbs 7oz since starting CK again. I'm sure you're all thinking that's it???Yes, but I am also working with a trainer 2xs a week and hitting the gym to ride the bike those days and at least 2 other days a week, usually riding 60 min/ 27 miles a ride. My legs are very big, my knees are bad and by pulling my knees ...
