Another Week

Here I sit, another week come and gone. Time is flying by and I can't believe how excited I am about Take Shape for Life.

I am still working hard. I am in the gym atleast 5 days a week. Working hard to gain muscle and strength, and watching and learning from the other trainers so one day I can have a class and share my knowledge of fitness with a group. I am still eating 4 or 5 Medifast meals a day, and 1 or 2 lean and green meals. My body is responding and it is delighting in its new found glory.

My size. My size! I bought a small sweater today, first time in my entire life I have bought a small anything. I told my husband this weekend, after apologizing for buying another pair of pants, that I feel like it is now an obligation to dress cuter. (ha, he didn't buy it either) I have never in my life had the confidence that I do right now. I feel good. I look in the mirror and I am so thankful that Take Shape for Life knocked at my door. It has opened a window I never thought possible. I never in a million years thought I would get on the scale and see 130, I never thought I would walk into a clothing store and buy a size 3/4 jeans (the first pair I tried on, even), I never thought I could wear vertical stripes because it draws too much attention to my middle section. I can do all of those things, and I can do them because I made the decision to change, not tomorow, but I made the choice to change TODAY and everyday.

I feel like I have been released from straps of bondage. Like my real self is finally out of my bigger body and it is shining. I am healthy, I am strong, and I can accomplish just about anything.

Take Shape for Life has shown me that if I can do this program, anyone can do this program. Anyone who has ever looked in the mirror with sadness, has ever stepped on the scale with disappointment, has ever walked in to a gym and felt like they didn't belong. Take Shape for Life is for you! It is for everyone who really wants to change. Anyone who really wants to feel the excitement of finding their smaller self. Whether you are 150lbs or 350lbs, this program can and will work for you-- when you make the decision to stop hiding behind excuses, or limits you or your body have set for you. Do not be held back, to not be a victim of your body's desires. Be the boss, be your best self, and let me help you on your journey to total health.
