Moving Forward!

This week has been so much better than last week. Last week was painful emotionally, and I first thought picking back up on my exercise would be painful physically. However, that was not the case! For the first time since I started this journey in May, I had no pain while walking! I've been able to walk 5 miles without any trouble! The only reason I cut some of those walks "short" was because I had appointments and other places to be! First I want to thank my support group that I met last month, they have made such a positive difference in my life! I would love to share each of their names here, but I'm keeping their names private for now, since this is a journey we are working on together! I don't know where I would be without them! Secondly, I would like to thank Katrina & Pete Kepf for helping me on the second part of this journey which I will share a little later! Also so many others Courtney Bigelow, Tia Champagne, Richard Neal, Ruby Gettinger, and so many others! Every time I think about giving up, I've thought of the results and obstacles you all have overcome and starting to reach your goals! You all are heroes in my books! To push your body at it's weakest, to push through all of the mental barriers, and to push through criticism...that's amazing!

This past week I have stayed with the product many of these people have been using and shared with me, Shakeology and the Beach Body Challenge! I feel so much better, and I know it's making a difference! Today I am starting my three day cleanse so I will update you on the progress. Before I started Shakeology I was already losing weight, from May 1st to June 15th, I am down 31lbs. My first goal is to be near 280 by the end of July. Why? Well shortly after I started this journey I won tickets to the Awaken Now Conference from Life Today Ministries. The reason I want to be at this weight is because I have always had trouble getting below 280, plus I can get a new smaller outfit for that conference. Plus this will put me at my "brick wall weigh" by mid-summer, and with the momentum I've gained I should break through that barrier before summer is over, and be way into uncharted territory by the time the beautiful Fall weather begins! Say a prayer for me, I'm praying every step of the way! I've had a lot of negative people in my past and I had allowed those words and actions carry on with me...but no longer. I am reaching to achieve the life God has for me, and no other! I thank my mom and brother for taking this health journey with me. If we weren't buying the healthy foods and committing to it as a family, I wouldn't be able to be making the progress I am! Keep checking back on my posts, I will be adding more pictures, tips, and frustrations, and most importantly what works! I'm so committed to change, that I have decided to also become a Beach Body Coach. If you are not in shape OR you need to lose weight, I can give you some advice and help you find a program that will meet your needs! If you are interested, please e-mail me at chrisadmire@hotmail.com If you are not sure, just keep following my progress! I will never recommend something that I don't believe or know that works! Also be sure to watch this youtube video of my friend Richard Neal's Transformation!  Hopefully soon, I too will have my full story to share with you all!  Love you guys!
