Hello again to all my weight loss fans!!!! Just kidding around. This is really fun and motivating way to lose weight. Nothing like the eyes of the Tampa Bay area to keep you in check.

I meet with my personal trainer today. She is cute and perky and so very nice. We worked out my upper body and I came home as quick as I could to wash my hair because I figure it will be Friday before I will be able to lift my arms. I would just like to address the whole exercise and breathing at the same time. I understand what a necessity breathing is on a regular basis but I have never had to think about it. I am struggling more with that than actually doing the exercises correctly. My form is great. However, take a moment to breath and think about it. Suddenly you can not. I thought I was going to hyperventilate today. I am to breath in on the down and out on the up. Can you believe I actually have to practice breathing?

About my diet. I want to address my previous entry. I hope I was not sounding to negative. I want everyone to understand my position. I know how my butt got this big. I know I ate to much, the wrong things and did not exercise enough. I also know what I need to do to be healthy once again. Notice I try to avoid that negative word called dieting. I want to be healthy through better eating choices. Now the fact that I choose not to go cold turkey with my menu plan is not a bad thing. What I want is to not feel as though I am being punished. I want to teach my children to make the healthy choices. I want to eat healthy meals with them. I want them to come home from school and we hit the kitchen hungry for our afternoon snack and I say who wants some fresh pineapple or cut up some apple with peanut butter. I want them to know yes you can have ice cream for dessert. Even the creamy full of calories ice cream. You just choose a healthy meal, healthy snacks, and then splurge occasionally on the really good stuff. It’s like buying clothes. So you may love Payless Shoe Store for their great deals, however, it feels fantastic to splurge on a great pair of leather sandals made my Clark or Cole Haan because you deserve it. Because it feels good and because we all need that extra little something or why bother.
