Welcome to Finding the New You!

Dear friends,
Thank you for joining my journey to find a better me. I am so proud that you wanted to join me. Let me explain how I would like this to go.
Each day I ask that you work out 20 min. Thats all ! Every friday is a weigh in. I will be POSTING my weight. You are welcome to do that as well, but if not then just let us know if you gained or lost. :)
I am starting this blog to host our feelings and our thoughts about this process.
Also to post great recipes, or workout tips. This is a great place for support, and comfort, as each of us is going through tthe same thing.
So Aug 1 2011 is the first day. I will be posting my starting weight, no lies, no excusses.. Just the raw me. I will continue to post every friday for one full year.. after one year on AUG 1 2012 if I have reached my goals I will be heading to Vegas. Where I am hoping with all the hard work you have put in you will be able to join me.
Now I know it seems like a lot of time and money. BUt if you commit to just 20 min a day 5 days a week, and every 2 weeks put 20 dollars aside. THen I know this will be a piece of cake.
MMMMMM CAKE! . So what are you waiting for lets get this show on the road..
Im here for you as I know you will always be there for me.

I have had a hard last few months. TO sum it all up. I lost my job, which made me lose my apartment, right before thanksgiving. Then right after thanksgiving my brother becuase very ill and was put in the hospital. I went to missouri to be with the family. Right after christmas my brother died and I was left with a hole in my heart. I came home at the begining of January and am back on track for a better me.. :) thank you all for your wonderful support during this really hard time in my life.

My dearest friends,

So after another horrible week, where the scale and my mile time went NO WHERE! I have decided to relook at things and try something a bit different. I have learned to ride a bike, so I will be doing that and I am soo excited.
I also learned this past week that others will notice the changes in you and try very hard to use you as a ladder to climb to their sucess. Be strong in who you are, remind yourself as I have had to do, that you are doing this journey for yourself no one else. I have decied to put a personal goal for each week. Instead of a general goal. So this next week I want to shave 3 sec of my mile and I want to lose 4 lbs. I want to hear your personal goals!! help motivate me and I will help motivate you..
heres to another day another pound and a nother step to a new you
I love you all

Its a friday.

Goodmorning my beautiful friends. Last night I was sitting on my bed wondering what it was I was doing so wrong with my life. Why everything happend to me why ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.... oh sorry I fell asleep. BORING!! Everyone wonders the same things.. Instead of wondering what is so WRONG with my life, I am going to take this moment to see the things I have RIGHT in my life.
Family
friends
job
food
home
health
I get to live laugh and love everyday. I get to cry, frown, and be excited. I am thankful for all that I have, for all that I get in life. I have learned not to take anything for granted. I dont take this opportunity for granted. I can and will lose weight. I will do it becasue I can.
Weight - 267 water weight is back..
Runtime- 14 min flat.
Both these numbers are back up not down. But thats fine.. That tells me work harder ..
FOr all of you that listen and read my ramblings everyday. I thank you. I love you and I am here for you.
so lets get out there today and see what is so RIGHT in our lives.
heres to another day, another pound and a nother step to the new you.
