| That's right folks... its a new chapter in my weight loss journey!!! |
Started this journey on March 22, 2011... exactly 5 months ago in a couple of days.
Month in review: It's been a "C"razy summer!! The past four weeks, I have been on my usual 80 mgs of prednisone/day, however... As of Monday, I am in my "no steroids for 4 weeks" phase, which means... Weight loss will come much easier!! I love it when I'm off those dumb steroids!!
Friday I was asked to take another fit "stress" test, re-do all my blood work, re-check my body fat, etc. Have you ever done a stress test before?? They are "H"ard with a capital "H"!!!! UGH!!!! Not only did I think I was going to pass out and DIE!! But, I thought I was going to fail it, but, to my surprise, I passed!!! In fact, apparantly I'm in better shape then I have been in quite a while. My O2 levels were higher then they have been in nearly 5 months and I have finally been cleared to EXERCISE!!!!
Thus, my newest chapter in this weight loss journey!!

| THIS could be my new sexy bod!!!!!! YUMMO RIGHT!!! (ha ha, GAG!!) |
After a very cool story which I won't detail here.... my doctor set me up at Gold's Gym. I have two of the best personal trainers in the entire world. Blake and Preston.
They have me on a very specific workout, per my doctors orders.
I have to admit, I was terrified at first when we started touring the gym!! Even though I used to workout all of the time, everything looked very intimidating!!!
However..... These amazing guys are teaching me to exercise a MUCH different way then I ever have before...... Blake had me dripping with sweat, in a nearly constant fat burning state, and not breathing hard even one time. CRAZY RIGHT!!! I did not one gasp for air even once... These new machines are AMAZING!!!
SO, if you are up at 5:30 a.m. and at Gold's gym in Bountiful, come find me!!! My workout is very short. No more then 45 minutes. I would love a workout buddy!!! (smile). I only meet with the trainers on Thursday mornings, so, every other day, I'm looking for a chatty cathy!!
Thanks again to everyone who supports me. I have the most incredible family and friends.. Truly I do!!
MY JOURNEY CONTINUES!!!!!!
I seriously can't tell you enough how proud I am of you! Exercising and eating right is something that takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You are doing so great!
