Buckling Down...

Ok...I just looked at the calendar and realized....I have exactly 48 days until my on year Anniversary at ALIVE...some days it just seems like yesterday that I walked through the doors that have changed my life so drastically...for the better of course - it just seems like yesterday that I was telling Harvey and Kathy that in no freakin way was I going to a gym - especially to train with some trainer jock that would not care about me...

Boy was I wrong.

Ben cares about me - he cares about each and every person that walks through those doors at ALIVE...he sent me a message this week - telling me that it was time to buckle down and get serious about my weight loss - he didn`t say it in those exact words, but I knew what he meant.  I saw my doctor this week and we discussed lowering the dosage of the Seroquel that I`ve been taking - this again means that I will start to lose weight again - FINALLY.  Ben told me he wants me to get tough with the nutrition and to get focused...I have a goal in mind - it`s a short-term goal for now...I want to lose 50 lbs by the time June 5th rolls around.  It`s 20 lbs and I know I can do it!  I`ve been feeling so much better mentally - I no longer feel panicky during the day and just seem to be feeling better all around.  I am hoping to lower the medication dosage so eventually I will be off of it all together - that is another one of my goals and I KNOW I can do it.

48 days....20 lbs...I know that with more hard work I can do it...
