The Journey Begins :)

Happy New Year!

Our family Biggest Loser~ish contest is on a roll!

This is my portion of the poster we made.  No one else is real excited about me blogging  on their journey so you are just stuck with me :) 
In case you can't read the inspirational quote here it is :
"The only one who can tell you that you can't is you. You don't have to listen!"

Heather and I decided to join a local gym. It's a smaller fitness center. Warm and inviting. Friendly staff.
I made the commitment to work with a trainer once a week for the next 6 months. It will help me be more accountable in getting to the gym 5 days a week. It will also be very helpful because I'm lost when it comes to weight training!
Yesterday was my 2nd session with my trainer ~ he's great! Very encouraging. I need that ~ alot :) This journey to losing 50 lbs. won't be easy. I won't always want to go workout. I won't always want to make better food choices.
BUT....I do want to feel better.....stronger! I don't want to sit around waiting for health problems to fall into my lap because of being overweight.
So. The journey begins :)
I'm hoping to blog each Monday about this journey. That's the day I meet with my trainer. I think it will be helpful to blog about this journey. Writing is a powerful tool. Maybe someone else will be inspired to take the first step towards their own journey!

DJ and I took the dogs hiking along the bench Sunday morning. It was so beautiful. Not to cold. So quiet and the air was clean :)

Persevering With Purpose,
