I refuse to give up!

Things are going OK. I've had a hard time getting back on track since camp, or maybe since Christmas.  I was doing so well until I reached 90 days - I've been struggling ever since. Over a month now. I haven't gained any weight back, I've lost 2 pounds this month which my trainer says is the best rate of weight loss - 1 pound per week. (YES - I gave in and weighed myself yesterday!) But I've gone from doing cardio (walking/dancing/SOMETHING) 5 days a week to only doing anything during my 2 training sessions and only one of those sessions involves cardio. Last night I noticed how tired I was trying to keep up with the cardio part.  I really need to get back into regular workouts.

Don't get me wrong - I haven't given up.  I walk to work sometimes, park farther away from stores, little things to get some type of exercise, but far from what I was doing. I'm trying to overcome my self consciousness and go do some YMCA classes, but it's so hard to try something when I'm afraid I can't do it. I've met a lot of people who feel the same way. Yesterday I tried to pump myself up to go, but my car wouldn't start. Today I let my daughter stay home from school to go with me, but we got there too late for the 1st class and she got sick and had to go home before the 2nd class. So once again I still haven't managed to actually do a class!

I'm back on track as far as eating goes. I've done very well today. I thank God that I have a trainer at this point in my life. I'm not sure how well I would do without the accountability. But I refuse to give up. I've come to far to give up. Although, no one should ever give up, regardless of where you are - you are still alive and you still deserve to be healthy. Trust me, it won't always be easy, but it is definitely worth it!
