I must admit moving to VA was no walk in the park. I have goine through alot of ups and downs. With those up and downs came on alot of pounds and depressions from gaining those pounds and from the situations I had to go through. I rememember for several months I complained about my weight and then get so depressed that I start eating more weight on. I would start working out and then start making excuses of why I hated working out or be so depressed that all I wanted to do was sleep all my problems away. It seemed like the more I complained, the more weight weighed on, the more excuses I would make. It was like a never ending cycle. I had no one to blame but me. Clothes was getting so tight that I'm surprised that I didn't pass out from lack of air. However in March I decided to start lose weight. I made the decision I wasn't going to back down and do things differently. I must admit my mindset needed improvement, because I was telling myself I will do this for a little and probably stop anyway. I admit the self defeat mindset is not the greatest start. I first started myself on a walking plan and then slowly started incorporating the cardio by going to the gym. I was going to the gym 2x's a week and walking 4x's a week. I did this faithfully. I was really surprised I kept up this. I truly was. I started slimming down with inches. My clothes started feeling better and I found myself being more happier. Also it helped going to the gym after work to let out stress (the stress made me work harder, surprised I didn't break a machine or two..lolol). When I was done my walking plan I was wondering why I completed this? I admit I usually make workout plans and quit but this time it was different? Why? Because deep down I had the determination. Also, I had family, friends, and coworkers being supportive as well. But the main reason was that I was doing this for myself and to save my clothes from the endless stretching..lolol. It's true what they say...everything happens for a reason. My journey starting in march was only preparing me for this journey with the worx. Because if I did not commit back then I def feel I wouldn't be disciplined enough to commit to the journey today. I'm glad I was discipled enough to join the journey because I just completed a full month of the journey! Yea! With journey it has helped me continue to focus on my goal, it makes me feel stronger, it makes me more determined to achieve my goal, and i'm happy I don't have to do this alone! Every time I come to the journey I am more and more determined to attend all the classes and continue to succeed the journey.
I see alot of changes in me..personally and mentally when it comes to results and working out.And most importantly I am more happy! Thank Worxs!
