I never thought I could feel this good!

When I was selected for the Biggest Loser, I was thrilled. I knew it would be hard work, but I was ready for it. The first couple days were tough, but I pushed through it. After the first week, I noticed my back felt better. After 20 years of enduring chronic back pain, headaches, muscle spasms, physical therapy, chiropractors, and trigger-point injections (all compliments of a car accident), I never thought I would feel this good again. I also noticed the more I exercised, the better my back felt.
At first I thought it was a fluke, but I am happy to say, it’s not. The only time I feel bad is when I don’t exercise. If this didn’t give me incentive, the weight loss did. I have lost 7.4 pounds so far, which may not seem like much, but I am wearing jeans I haven’t worn in years. My body is changing shape in ways I never thought possible. Small changes, but definitely for the better.
I can’t say I love going to the gym or that I look forward to it. I keep motivated by how good I feel. I set small goals for myself, and when I achieve them I set new ones. I know this will be a way of life if I want to feel and look better. The thing is… I know I can do it!!! I am one happy loser!!!
