More than JusT the Physical to getting FiT

In thinking about my blogspot name.. Tryin2GetFit...I realize that there are many more areas in my life to be fit in other than just the physical. I am working towards being fit spiritually and mentally as well.

Today marks 3 days in a row that I have worked out and done away with drinking sodas. Just lots and lots of water, skim milk, yogurt, salads, and fruit. I am actually having more energy at the end of the day now instead of being tired. I find myself looking forward to getting done with work and heading to the gym.

I have also been dedicated to my scripture reading and prayers as well. It has been promised that if you put the most important things first in your life then there will be room for everything else. By doing the things the Lord has asked of me, I will be able to accomplish the other things in my life that I never seem to be able to find time to do.

Everyone Needs A Fresh Start...

And Today is Mine! :) Well.. really it was yesterday but it was today that I decided to hop on the blogging bandwagon and start my own blogspot... finally!

I have this past season become a fan of the "Biggest Loser" TV show. It has inspired me to take control of my life and get my body fit. I have always had an excuse for not going to the gym, the biggest one of all being that I am a single mom of two great kids and never had time to go work out. Now that they're visiting with their dad for 3 weeks, I have no excuse! Especially because my work pays for my gym membership. So yesterday I went to the gym and sweated it out for the first time in so long that I can't remember. It FeLt GreaT! I am going to go again in just a few minutes.

My goal is to lose 50 lbs. I don't know how long that is going to take me, but I am determined and dedicated to become as beautiful on my outside as I am on the inside :)

Along with working out everyday for the next three weeks, I am going to watch what I eat, which is a huge weakness of mine! I know I'm not going to lose the 50 lbs. in the next 3 weeks, but I have that much time to get a great start on living a better lifestyle.
