I think I have finally done it–broken through a 6 week plateau.  The scale is finally starting to show all of my hard work.  Dont get me wrong the pounds are not just falling off, but at least the scale is starting to creep down.  No matter what I am not giving up.  I have a good 20-30 pounds to go.  Even though I no longer blog everyday like I used to (i dont really have anything to say), I still long on and this web site has been key for me.  Everyone keep pluggin’ along and stay strong!!

So I FINALLY made my first mini goal and so I moved it down a little today to 140 pounds.  I also adjusted my final goal UP 10 pounds from 120 to 130.  This was after pretty much everyone said that 30 pounds and I would look like a freak.  I just dont think my body was made to weigh 120–but we will see as I get closer.  I definitely have another 20 pounds to lose and at this rate that will bring me through til christmas!

Hey everyone!! Time for this country to wake up!!  We are killing ourselves and our children with overeating.  The subject of childhood obesity has been seriously weighing on my mind lately.  I live in the south now but I am a transplant from northern California.  I am overwelmed everyday by the amount of obesity in this country and especially our children.  We are headed for a HUGE health care crisis if we do not change.  I was watching my 6 year old sons baseball game and there is one child who could not run the bases because he was so fat, in fact another kid behind him past him by (I love little kids sports!).  I then noticed the rest of his siblings the oldest 14–all morbidly obese.  They were playing around a little then one boy had an asthma attack.  If we dont help our kids they are doomed to type II diabetes, degenerative joint disease, peripheral vascular disease, heart disease etc etc.  The ecomonic and social ramifications will be astronomical.  This is part of the reason I am taking this fitness journey, because I love my kids.  I want to be a good example for them and I want them to be healthy and live long productive lives.  We can not become complacent on this issue.

 Ok, sorry about the ranting but I had to get that out there!  I am staying focused on exercise and nutrition–the rest will come!  Time for some new pictures on my website–just have to get the courage up to take them!  Hope everyone “stays strong”

I am thankful to God for all the blessings in my life-my wonderful family, a great job, good friends and good health.  But I am thanking “sprint 8″ for my “transforming” body.  This 3 1/2 month journey has been tough, but I think I am starting to really see the results.  Sprint 8 (basically a really intense interval workout) has been key for me. I have never worked out so hard and so consistently in my whole life and I LOVE it.  I kick my own butt everyday!  I am starting to see some muscles I haven’t seen before!  Dont get me wrong I have a good 20-25 pounds to go, but I think I looked pretty smokin’ in my size 6 jeans this weekend!  A lot of people hadn’t seen me in along time and they definitely noticed.  Some people said “you’re losing weight AGAIN”  I hate that.  This is the last time.  I am determined not to gain this weight back again.  I figure in my life I have lost and gained at least 500lbs–that cant be good for you!!  I am commited to good health and fitness-screw the scale, the pounds will follow eventually.

I have been very neglectful of my blogging activities, but I have kept up the diet and exercise.  I know how important this web site is to my continued weightloss I just needed a little break from the intesity of my commitment.  Things are good and I am not giving up.  Look for my upcoming posts!! I am glad to be back!
