Inspired

I started to get inspiration to lose weight at the beginning of the year. I was noticing that my pants weren't fitting and they weren't going to get any more comfortable unless I made a change. I wanted to be healthy for my kids. I wanted to be able to chase them and play with them without feeling winded. I want to be a good role model for my babies. I want to cook healthy food for my family. I started losing weight in January. I joined Weight Watchers in February and am proud to say that I have lost a total of 32 pounds so far. I have lost a grand total of over 21 inches. The biggest inspiration has been my exercise group I joined. I am so grateful for my trainer Lynette who has inspired me to be healthy. She pushes me and encourages me at the same time. I have met new friends and have enjoyed every opportunity I have to get closer to my goal. My family did a weight loss challenge and proud to say I was the winner. Everyone in the competition gave me $25.00. We also started a weight loss challenge in our fitcamp group and so proud to say that I won six months free training and five free personal training sessions. I still have some pounds to lose but I feel so much healtier and have so much more confidence in myself. I ran a mile last week and didn't stop one time. My goal is to be able to run 3 miles by the end of summer. I need to push myself but I know I can do it.
