THE UNVEILING! *SUPER PROUD*

If you've been reading and keeping up with my blogs since my Memorial Day vacation you know that I've been working out EVERY DAY since June 2nd. Some days I got it done TWICE!! Well today was supposed to be a rest day BUT when I got up I had the "FITNESS FEVER" and I had to get 1 in. 2 miles WALK AT HOME with Leslie Sansone. I feel awesome now! Last night I felt like I was coming down with something and woke up feeling the same way but once I worked out I felt 100% better. I guess I needed that 2nd session last night and my body was letting me know. *duly noted body*

A little sweat never hurt nobody NOR has A LOT of sweat! I am so glad I challenged myself to see what I could do in these 2 weeks leading up to my departure for Virginia. I want to be RIGHT for my 43rd birthday, 25th class reunion and the rest of my life. One thing I have to clear up though, I'm not trying to lose weight but ridding myself of body fat. My goal is to get my muscles as lean as possible. I'm not trying to be a body builder or enter any competitions but attempting to live longer and healthier as possible. There are a lot of health issues in my family and most of them can be controlled by diet so I'm controlling! I don't want nor do I need another physician to tell me something that I already know I should be doing.

Now when this all started I said I wanted to lose the 10 lbs I'd gained. Was I successful? NO, not even close. I lost 2 lbs but I am so not mad because I've stressed so often to those I mentor that it's not about the pounds but the inches lost and fat burned.

When I bought my 2 piece on May 31st I was not confident at all with the way I looked. Although I've lost the weight I am still flabby in the inner thigh and abdominal area, that 2 piece showed it all! I worked vigorously on burning fat during these last 2 weeks, 14 days non-stop with some days getting in 2 workouts. Well here is the unveiling!

The May 31st picture you could tell I was not happy but I still wore it. I didn't look the worse but I didn't feel my best. I was pleased that I'd accomplished what I set out to do, be a part of team 2 piece by my 43rd birthday but it needed to be TIGHTENED up! I'm not done STILL but there is a significant difference and I love it! This only makes me want to go harder now. I know my fitness kicks in VA are going to intensify and I'm taking folk with me! *laughs* This has been an AWESOME 14 days and I am so eager to see what else I can do. I've consulted a "fitness guru" who has given me some tips and actually offered to work with me so I'm looking forward to that.

On that note I shall leave you with this ...
