One Week To Go!

Well, this is my last week of Challenge 1. Can't wait to see my final pics and measurements! When I started this, I had my doubts on whether or not I would finish! Excercise has never been my thing! I've even gone so far as to tell people that I'm allergic to excercise (just to see the puzzled look on their face!) But seriously, it's always been something that I've loathed, and never have been good at any form of excercise that I've ever tried. Not to mention what a struggle it is! Between my two knee surgeries and asthma, it's almost like a contest to see which one is gonna get the better of me first! I was kind of hoping that my knees would improve as they got stronger, but no such luck. It's still quite painful to do my cardio and lower body workouts, but I grind my teeth through it anyway! I am SO glad that I have taken the plunge towards a healthier lifestyle! I am changing, from the inside out. I feel it, and I know my family does too, like it's "spilling over." I was just SO tired of having no confidence or self esteem, not to mention the lack of energy, and just overall laziness! That's all gone now, and as I'm wrapping up this last week, I will be setting my goals for Challenge 2, which will way more difficult than Challenge 1 for me, as I will be making even more dramatic changes (more on this later!) I cannot express how easy it is, with all of the support that I receive from home, and from my dear hubby, who sparked my interest in BFL!
