My Journey To Fitness and A Thank
You Two years ago I was 40 pounds overweight! I was a little porker! This is about my journey to fitness, a thank you to all who helped me and a message: “If I can do it so can you!” First, I want you to know that I had all the same excuses that you have about why you cannot lose weight. I was depressed. I had a failed relationship. I was addicted to carbs and sweets. Yadda, Yadda…! Believe me when I tell you this is all nonsense! Excuses! So girl, if you want to change your life you must first take responsibility for yourself. You and you alone are responsible for your present condition- no one else! You need to understand this if you are going to change. Take responsibility for yourself! Next, if you do not like the way things arw you need to change your attitude, the way you do things and the people you hang out with. Negative thoughts and negative people be gone!!! Get rid of them both and you will succeed. If you don’t, you won’t. Take responsibility! Two years ago I walked into the gym and was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and the people. But, I stuck with my guns and began to workout. At first it was slow going. Then slowly I began to see results. In August of 2003, I decided to get really serious, with the help of my coach Mike Davies, I began to condition myself so I could compete in figure competitions. This was hard. Not only did I have to stick to a strict workout schedule, but I had to change my diet. Every time I wanted to quit or cheat I remembered: take responsibility for yourself! By this time I had met Mari Kudla. Mary is a professional competitor in figure. She and mike pushed and cajoled me and would not let me give up. I cannot than each of them enough. This year I won BodyRock! – I still do not believe it. Now my goal is to gain professional status. No matter how far I progress, I have changed my life physically and emotionally as a result of my commitment to a fitfull life. My thanks to all who have helped and supported me. Especially to Mike and Mari and my family. If you are interested in competing in figure or just getting in better condition please contact me at this web site. Jamie |
