All by myself
I did it. I conquered the gym.
I worked out for 45 minutes and I feel AMAZING. I did 20 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 MPH…I did weights for the other 25 minutes. It was so nice because the free weights room was empty, just what I needed. I went in and did all of my arms workout with no one around.
I went in tonight with the most wonderful give-a-shit-what-people-think attitude. You HAVE to get you a little bit of that, cuz it ROCKS. I knew how to do the exercises and didn’t have to worry whether people were watching me because I was doing everything wrong…I KNEW I was doing awesome, felt awesome, and if they wanted to watch me, have at it.
It’s amazing what a little bit of self-confidence can do !
I don’t know yet what the prizes are, because the community center is still gathering donations for the winners. From what the lady told me today, there are cash prizes going to be awarded, plus gift certificates from quite a few places, but that is all she could tell me at this point. This is the first time they have done this competition, so it’s all new to them as well. I don’t care what the prizes THEY give are, because the way I’m going to look when this thing is over is the BEST gift I could get out of this.
Challenge page is getting updated tonight…along with my weigh-in from last night…damn I really don’t wanna, but I hafta.

Hey Lisa,
You are so inspiring! The excitement when you talk about your challenge is contagious. I know that with the mindset you have right now, you can do anything you set out to! You know you have a little edge with the knowledge you have so use it Girl! You seem to have wonderful and supportive people around you, nothing can hold you back now EXCEPT YOU! So, don’t give into the “self esteem, self depricating” monster and you will kick a$$. Hmm…now maybe if I take my own advice I will get back on track before I blow what I have been achieving huh? LOL always easier to motivate someone else, isn’t it? L-I-S-A GOOOOO LISA YAY (high kicks, maybe a back handspring) ….that was me being a cheerleader! See, I’m great, now if only they didn’t have to wear those tiny little outfits I’d be a shoe in! LMAO You can do this I can’t wait to see where you are at the end of the challenge.
Hugs,
Steph
