I’ve Learned…..
ANY exercise routine can be modified to your limitations or injury (granted *consult your doctor before starting any exercise routine)
People need to understand that NOT ALL weight gain comes from sitting on the couch eating bon-bons. I think there are many professionals who have yet to realize this. There are medications and hormones in which cause weight gain. Though it can be slowed considerably it will still creep on. But there IS hope. When I thought I would never be able to lose weight because of my situation I was able to do it. It IS possible (once the medication is outta your system.)
Losing weight IS possible the ‘right way’. All you need are the right tools, information and then to APPLY them.
I’m buff! Haha. I’m stronger than many other people! I knew my legs were strong but so is everything else. Sweet!
Support is the #1 key to success.
Little kid minions are the best way to keep on track. “Mom, can you eat that?.. Spit it out?… 20 pushups!!”
My body feels so much better when I eat healthy and on a regular schedule.
That supplements and protein shake are an AWESOME friend. I never wanted to be one of those weight loss shake drinkers… what dorks!…. Ummm, that is now my best friend. :oD haha
To enjoy the small and simple things. The small changes no matter how simple they seem, they are WONDERFUL.
My body responds better to weight loss when I do weights regularly.
I actually inspired people. Wow! Really?
I want everyone to feel the awesome way I do. Want to share this feeling with everyone!
Everyone says you have more energy and a new pep in your step but I don’t always feel that when I first get up or even throughout ALL day. This does not mean that it’s not working... Because I sure love the way I feel when I go to chase a kid and it doesn’t even wind me!!! That is when I feel the awesome feeling of exercising. Not only does it not wind me but I want to do MORE. I truly understand how people feel when they say they have more energy to play with their kids. Not only they have the energy but they WANT to play more. :oD
New clothes are awesome. Especially when they are smaller sizes.
The feeling of old jewelry fitting like new is like going shopping and buying something new and exciting. So fun.
When the scale is not moving significantly… it doesn’t mean you are not changing inwardly.
Smaller clothes don’t lie.
I love teaching a new generation about being healthy.
My husband actually likes smaller boobs. Sweet!
Exercising is a pain reliever. When my back flared up and I was in pain constantly the only time I had relief was while working out.
How to enjoy my journey, rather than waiting for it to be over.
How my body works with different types of food it’s given and the type of exercises it works best with.
Balance is a huge key in life. Though you may push extra hard, for say a competition, it should only be for a short time. It is not sustainable for a healthy lifestyle. Balance.
You may train like an athlete but you must eat like one too. (okay a ‘cheat’ meal once a week is acceptable)
Plan, plan, plan your meals. Be prepared! Prepare your food at the beginning of the week. (I’m still working on this one)
Don’t be afraid to ask your waiter questions about their food. More people are concious about health now days. The majority of people are not going to look at you funny. You MUST take control if you want to be in control
“Don’t settle.” Be selfish. Just because everyone else is going to McD’s doesn’t mean you have to. You can pick up Cafe Rio grilled chicken salad.
Don’t be afraid to make requests at restaurants. Steamed veggies instead of rice.. Oh AND make sure they don’t put the glob of butter on top.
You don’t have to explain yourself. Simply ask for the waiter not to bring the basket of bread out. No need to tell them you CAN’T have it or anything. No one is going to question you. If they do just ask for the manager and tell them how much you have lost. That will shut them up, ha.
Contestants in figure and bodybuilding competitions are not in them because of their genetics. It is some MAJOR hard work and dedication they put in. Anyone who says they can’t do something like that because they don’t have the right genes will be immediately corrected. :oD “Many of those contestants probably started out where you are today.” You could do it!
I CAN finish something. One of my major goals was to finish this competition out. I tend to almost accomplish something but then give up, saying that was good enough. Why? I have yet to figure that out, but I’m that much closer to understanding. I HAVE FINISH this one!!!
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! No matter how much you want to DONT do it. Just keep going. Just think about having to start all over again. Just finish it NOW and get the hardest part over with. :oD Push your self.
HAVE FUN!!!! You must have fun with whatever you do!
FAMILY & Friends are the BEST!!!
#1 thing: When you want to give up and nothing is working and you just can’t bare to go on. Ask for help! Ask family, ask friends, ask strangers and most importantly your Father in Heaven.
ASK MAX MUSCLE! They can give you ALL the help and support you need to succeed!!!! :oD

Very interesting your journal, I also like the part when you say "Plan, plan, plan your meals. Be prepared! Prepare your food at the beginning of the week." That is so important, Helped me a lot during this contest. Thanks for sharing Rachel
