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!!!
