Welcome!!! I will keep this short and sweet. This is my workout journal. I will not be publicly publishing any of my own workout notes/journals, I may, however, by publishing my reviews on supplements along with sharing information that may appeal to fitness enthusiasts like myself. That's all for now.

I use to feel insecure and always compare my weight and size to the models on every front page magazine, boy was I being hard on myself! The realization is, You still can have weight on you and be happy. I started working out and eating healthy. I finally have figured it out!!!!!! If you want to lose weight, these are some simple rules I live by:

1. Change your lifestyle ie; Your way of thinking,
Think more Me ...Me Me..,because if you don't no one else will.

2. Change your eating habits....more healthy food choices, and I don't mean diet food.
basic food guide, eating smaller portions.

3. Never.....Never....weigh yourself during the process......
(Not unless you are under a weight program through your family doctor) this is where you can become discouraged!
You will notice the inches lost before the pounds. You will also notice it in your clothing, things will
eventually become to loose, or too big.

4. Have a piece of clothing that will become your "Inspiration", or goal.
Hang it up where you can see it everyday, visualize yourself in it!

5. Exercise 20 mins each day, walking, treadmill, cycling, swimming, gardening,
whatever you enjoy being active with.

6.. Treat yourself at least once a week. Eat healthy 6 days out of 7
On your 7th day eat what ever you want.

7. Last but least remember the Golden rule.......The weight didn't drop on overnight,
so there is always the TIME FACTOR, take your time with it and it will truly happen.

8. Surround yourself with supportive and positive people,
they will encourage you the days that you feel like binging.

9. Love yourself, yes.....LOVE YOURSELF.......we are all beautiful, we just have to believe it.

10. Keep a journal or food diary, writing down and pre planning your meals can be fun, No excuses!!!!! Take the time.....
remember it is for YOU! I have been following all of this and my goal is to lose 85. llbs. I have lost 20lbs in the lat 8 weeks!

Remember the key is a positive attitude, patience, and making a commitment to YOU
I hope this will help others out there who are struggling with the battle of weight loss. I felt the need to share this and pass
it along, because someone else cared enough to share their same story.

It's not rocket science, we make commitments to all of the wrongs things in our lives on a daily basis.
When you do the reverse, it turns it into a positive way of thinking. I think we all could use a little encouragement
now and then, and I would like to propose a weekly blog of meetings for feedback, encouragement, healthy food recipes,
kindred spirts, and most of all SUPPORT
