Lake St. Clair.

Sorry for the lack in posts, I have been sick since last week. Over the weekend it got even worse. I went into urgent care because ear popped like some one just popped a water balloon. Today I went to doctor because the medication wasn't working and she said left ear even bleeding. So today and tomorrow I took time of to allow myself to heal.

As far as weight goes the number is the same at 226. I will be finally signing up for a new membership at a price I can't resist! Planet fitness is only 10.00 a month!!!! Granted I wont have the trainers ect. but I have the knowledge of what I learned earlier this year and everyone's help on this site to help keep me on track.

Well I must decline all apologies from you Christina. I feel I would be being rude, to accept unneccessary apologies from a Lady.

I'm glad to see you approaching things very positively once more.

CONGRATS on the the 3 miles. I know after the ups and downs of getting your life readjusted, this might have felt like something you weren't quite ready for again, but as often is these days, you continue to prove yourself more capable than you might think you are.

I'm sure there's nothing much to worry abotut visa vie the medical quirk and I am sure you won't let anything like this affect your mindset and thusly how you look after yourself.

I'm sending you a BIG HUG and I want you to know I am always proud of you and I never stop wishing the best for you. You're a really beautiful young Lady and you deserve a better future.

Stay strong, chin up, keep smiling that outstanding smile and most importantly keep believing, because you ARE worth it .

Thank you boss man!

I found scrapbooks and found the one i started on weight loss journey. I don't think i had posted the picture on here from boot camp. As followers know, I was the only non-boot camp member to attend the rainy day and the only big girl there! Yet I still finished!

This picture was me finishing it carrying the weight to the finish line!
(I love how the shadow looks like i have hairy arm pits. lol!!!! )


just the look of determination keeps me going!

this next pic was of a group of us running to another station. I'm the third person down the row.


I keep looking back on this day to remind myself what i am capable of as long as i try and that the hard work does pay off!

I tried to amend your image code so the images would post, but I am not 100% certain how the original code looked, so after a few attempts to correct it, I gave up.

If you find the pictures again on Dropbox, then see if you can copy and paste the two image codes inbetween these

Code: Select all

tags, as then the image URLs might appear complete, instead of having those annoying %20 inserts in them.

That can happen when URL code has characters like underscores in it, or some sort of punctuation or uncommon characters, which when pasted into certain areas of the internet, or a computer based package, get substituted for those %20 inserts.

good news! I signed up for new gym membership today for only 10.00 month!! So excited to start feeling better to go! i want to make routine days be tues, thurs, and saturday. the off days of school. I am going to start off by getting cardio up and going because i will finally have kickboxing class next semester in January and i want to make sure cardio wont backfire. I know it wont but i want to prepare myself. I am so excited to get back in this and the place is so close to home too. Next monday i will put in weigh in and hopefully i will feel better and next tuesday will be first day back at the gym!

[rockchick_82808]

just got in first work out at the new gym today!!! i jogged 2 miles at a 4.7 speed 2 incline. did what i like to call side trots lol at 2speed 4 incline on each side 1min 30sec each. then 10 incline 2speed walking uphill backwards for 4 min. it felt sooo good to get back in the game! its weird being in a new place though. today i decided i want to make it a goal to loose 46 pounds to get to the weight limit to sky dive by next summer. i have always wanted to do it and weight never allowed me. there is a inner wild child wanting to be set free!!!! i want to bungee jump too! I want to be at 185 pounds. today, i will talk to bf and propose to him that when we have our date nites that we cook and stop going out. yes we go out once a week but that once a week can make a big impact no matter how healthy you try to order your food and watch how much you eat at the time.

hope everything is going good for you. 10 bucks a month is really good deal. does it have a pool your gym? I googled the name of your gym and the ones that were in minnesota (none are near house) they didn't have a pool i don't think. so that would be out for me anyways. but if you don't need a pool you can't beat that price at all! much better than the price at lifetime. Glad to hear things are going well.

so its been a long time since i have made a post. i have been working out when possible but with final projects for school i have been so mentally exhausted.

for those of you who follow me, you may have known about bad upbringing and the hardships i had. well, i have been trying to see mom on occasion and it has been hard to act like nothing had ever happened. so, i had arranged a time for her to come to place to talk last week. I went over everything from when i was little up to now. i had told her things that hurt me and things i have kept from her. like when dad was cheating on her and i had to watch the woman's baby when they took off (keep in mind i was in the fourth grade at the time too). i also opened up to the cutting i use to do and the suicide attempt i had when i lived with her four years ago. she cried and we talked and she said she wanted to make things right and be apart of life. since then she has listened to me and has made ways to make known she heard me.

it was one of the most emotional days i had in a long time but that conversation was needed for me to finally move on from the past. regardless as to the turn out, i needed voice to be heard to allow self to fully enjoy life without the past haunting me everyday. since that talk, i felt a weight was lifted. i have felt...happy. truly happy waking up in the morning. i hope that things continue to go positive if not, i will be ok, because i did what needed to be done for a long time.

Christina, I want to tell you that I am so, so proud of you right now. Not for having that moment you knew you needed and wanted, but for talking about it as well.

You like so many, have a way of turning pain, struggle and heart-ache and translating it into something inspiring and beautiful and something that someone like me can feel and understand.

No matter what your Mother chooses to do right now, I'm glad you never ended things and you are here and still believing in yourself. You are without doubt one of the most beautiful shining lights i've ever come across and I have come across so many differing personality types in time, in varying ways and you are definitely one of the best.

When you smile you light up and when you talk about good things or bad things, I can really feel that it comes from a special place, which is your heart and your inner being.

You continue to make me proud of you, for everything you are and try to do. It's been hard and it's been tough as you eluded to in our interview, but you are still here today and the world is DEFINITELY better off because you are.

You have undying respect, belief and pride Christina and I'm sending you a BIG HUG, because seeing what you wrote, has made a pretty good day for me, even better .

I hope you never stop smiling and I hope you never stop trying to better yourself, because you have ALWAYS been worth it and ALWAYS had what it takes, to make it to the point where you are the person you CAN be and DESERVE to be .

Don't ever stop believing and don't ever let anyone or anything spoil the person you are inside.

It's always great to hear from you and sometimes it feels like it's not enough, such is your ability to add more colour and life to our community and we are always here for you, no matter whether it's a big or small thing and we will always support you 10,000%, because you mean a lot to us and we all want you to succeed.

So I hope it's not too long before you come back again and if yo need anything, you know you can always talk to me, because that's what I'm here for.

GOOD LUCK and WELL DONE, for having the courage to put yourself through a hard emotional event and talk about it. You took on a big emotional situation and you have come out of it better for it and with a tonne of dignity and reasons to be proud of yourself.

I hope you can grow stronger from this and achieve more physical progress, because you ARE worth it and we will do what we can to push you and help you all the way and I will do that as well on a one to one basis if you ever need it.

I want you to be proud of yourself for what you've done, because you've earned it you really have. I know you're life in the past has been really hard, but you're a really inspiring person and as I said before I'm really proud of you .

You ARE amazing!!!

Glad you were able to talk to your mom like that Christina! I'm sure it must have felt really good like you said.

So basically you want to get dirty and wet, to prove some sort of point

In all seriousness though, I know you have what it takes to do this so GOOD LUCK, because whatever help and support you need we can try what we think is our best, to be here for you as usual.

[rockchick_82808]

thank you so very much!

today, i had put together a poster and taped it to fridge. pics of the dash, notes on reminders of workouts, vitamins, ect. the same set up i had when i was on team weight loss. I tell ya, having the chance to do everything i did in team weight loss was a huge eye opener of what i am capable of, i can not wait to do this race! This year for the holidays has been the best for me. every year i always gain tons of weight this year just 5 pounds which wont be a problem getting rid of. last year i almost did 12! on thanksgiving i only had half a plate of food and thats even going to two houses! i never go back for seconds anymore. if it dont fit on the plate it wont fit in stomach! even at the family christmas party last nite, i had a full plate and could only eat half. the biggest lesson is to not force your self to eat, there is a reason your body is yelling at you that its had enough! so listen to it!!! lol! i had baked sooo many cookies and the best part, even though i have them in kitchen waiting to be brought to other parties, i dont feel like i am fighting a war with temptation! this really has been a great year for change! i pulled out weight loss journey scrapbook, its time to make some more changes and add some pages!!!! as part of training i want to do some rock wall climbing in the spring. i have never done that before! in order to climb the great wall in the race i need to do some climbing before hand! i can not wait to go on this next journey! i am so excited!
