Transformation Tuesday... This is going to be a long one! Ten more lbs and I am officially -100 lbs! When I started this 4-4 1/2 years ago that number was so intimidating and seemed so far away! I gave up several times thinking it was impossible, but being able to look back today and see how far Ive come, Im so glad I pushed myself to keep giving it another try! I definitely had to learn patience, determination, and self love. The fact that my gym is 2 minutes up the road and that I have to drive by it atleast twice a day really saved me. Leo Vanessa Guerrero met me almost at my heaviest and has truly pushed and motivated me. I love my gym, the owners, and the members! Ive never been judged by any of them because we know were all there for the same reason, to change something were not happy with! When you see the same people almost everyday you become part of something that is so great and motivating. I love seeing the progress my gym buddies make :) Last night I received a message from a sweet lady saying she had heard of my progress and if it would be okay to add me as a friend for extra motivation, talk about one of the most rewarding parts of all of this. I love that I can be a motivator and help someone stay dedicated. I did, and still do, google before and after pics to keep me motivated. Though it may get annoying to some to see us gymmies check ins, selfies, and motivation photos, we know it keeps us going. Somedays it was seeing a check in, a status, or a photo that pushed me to go that day. Until you get it youll never truly get it and Ive learned to not care who dont...how much determination it takes... to get yourself there everyday when theres so much you could be getting done elsewhere, when youre so tired from the day that it literally takes the last bit of energy you have left, or to make yourself go back the next day when you can barely bend over from the last workout. It literally does become a twisted, obsessive addiction ha. I no longer get in a bad mood if I have to go, I get in a bad mood if I cant go! Its my 2 hours a day to focus on solely me! I dont think about the laundry, the cleaning, the cooking, and dare I say, the kids ha. Its my therapy. No matter what kind of day I had, get me to my gym and all is right and okay in the world, because I know Im going to leave happier than I arrived. The confidence you gain and the love you learn to have for yourself again is priceless! I will NEVER be that broken person again! Im on my way to me :)
