It’s been a long week - started P90x and yes for me it is brutal! But, I am hanging in there.  So far, this week I have lost 3lbs.  I will take it! Yeah!!!

On another note, don’t you just hate it when you try to explain your diet and exercise to family members or friends and it is just not good enough somehow?  I love these people dearly, but when I say I am doing a very hard workout and they say something like… don’t do a whole lot because you’ll pull something, or your exercising too much. Or even one of those why don’t you do more? Really? That is sooo frustrating!!! I guess we all have experienced stuff like that at some point, right?

I am working hard and am proud of my accomplishments so far.  48 pounds gone since October 2010. Where is the congrats, ya know? Where is the love?

But, when I started in October, I told myself that I was going to get healthier, happier and lose weight for me.  Not anyone else but for me.  I’m not doing this to please others but to please myself.  You can’t control what others think or say but you can control how you feel, what you think, and what you do. If you look to others for approval or validation then you will never be happy or satisfied with yourself.  I realize that more and more every day. I’ve got big dreams for myself and I will not let anything stand in the way of those dreams! So pats on the back for everyone that’s going strong out there. I’ve learned not to let what people say, or even look at you funny make you feel bad in any way.  I say fight for you and screw everyone else! We are all superstars!!!

I am feeling stronger each and every day.  I hope all of you are feeling the same.  I’ve kept track of all my food, vitamins, water and exercising this week.  I have found it to be very helpful. I never thought it would be but it is extremely helpful.

Just want to put it out there that I am very proud of my husband John (minus 200) this week with P90x. He is doing great! And, for not eating a 5 Guys Burger and FF today. I know it was tempting but he did it.

Guess I’m out. Take care and be healthy and happy.  Everybody have a great weekend!

Spreading much love,

Michelle

I started P90x yesterday and it is killer! How do these people do these moves??? But, I am motivated and ready to go.  Getting ready to do the cardio in a bit.  Wish me luck! I enjoy reading all your posts and hope to post more soon. I will update you on my cardio experience with P90x.

Spreading much love,

One of the things I would like to do in 2011 is start running.  Right now I probably couldn’t run for 30 seconds.  But, I want to start trying.  I heard that running is all about your breathing.  Could anyone give me any beginner tips?  I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Michelle

One of the things I am most grateful for in 2010 is that I really woke up.  I decided it was time to change my life and get healthy.  I am also thankful that I joined tumblr and for the warm welcome I have received so far.  I look forward to developing some very meaningful relationships in the future. Most importantly, I am very thankful for my husband John or as some of you may better know as minus 200.  He is the most important person in my life and I love him with all my heart.  He is very supportive of me and I am glad to be on this weight loss journey with him. I know a lot of you really love him and enjoy his posts. One person commented that he always makes them smile.  He never ceases to amaze me and make me smile and laugh and that is one of the very important reasons that I love hime so very much. And yes, to everyone he is an amazing guy and I have no doubt that he will reach his weight loss goals. Thanks to him I have managed to gain a few followers also and I hope that will continue.  So thanks hubby! :-)

I know I have a long journey ahead of me and I am glad that I will be sharing it with all of you.  I say bring on 2011.  I wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year! Stay strong and lets make this our year. Our year to be healthy and victorious!  Lets do this and kick some butt!

Spreading much love to everyone,

Michelle 

I am new here to the fitness community. I guess I will start by telling you a little about myself. I have been overweight for most of my adult life.  I want to start off 2011 by making a new life resolution. I want to lose 150 pounds. I started in October of 2010 trying to change my eating and exercising habits.  So far, I have lost 45 lbs.  But, I need to lose more.  I weigh - well lets just say in the 200’s and I am 5’9. I am aware that my lifestyle needs to change permanently but have yet to do that completely.  I joined tumblr to meet people who maybe are in the same situation as me and are trying to meet their weight loss goals.  Sometimes it gets hard for me because I suffer from depression, but since I have been working out I feel good for the most part.  I hope to meet and talk with some of you folks out there and hopefully we can help each other out.  I promise to be as positive and helpful as possible. I hope a lot of you will share some ideas and tips with me on how you lost weight or are losing weight.  It will be nice to know that there are people out there that will support you through this process.  That is what I am looking for. I look forward to sharing with you and I hope you will share with me.  I am a little shy but given a chance I will blossom so stay with me.  I am always up for a chat too.  Maybe you guys can shed a little light on things for me and I will always try my best to bring positive energy for you.  I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2011 and I hope we kick some serious bootie! Feel free to send me a message anytime. I will be happy to talk with all of you. :-)
