My first day with my trainer…

Well today I started my training with Mike at Advanced Body Solutions. After my experience with Professional Fitness and Peak Fitness, I didn’t know if I wanted to take another shot with trainers, but my experiences with Mike and the GM Sean so far have been above and beyond positive.  Even with their excellent support, I still felt a little nervous heading into the session.

So… now that I broke it down, time to get steppin’…

Well I definitely had an interesting and energetic post yesterday.  I appreciate all of you that commented on the post as your comments help me fuel my mojo and actions.  It is one thing to yell and scream about what I want, but it is another to actually put it into motion.  I am happy to say that I have already started in on some of my goals.

Rejection Reprise… Why it is awesome.

Well I am about as sure as I can be that I will not go any further in the Biggest Loser casting process and am actually relieved about it.  I have been back and forth with myself on whether I should even go for a while now.  As you mostly know, I came to grips with not being cast after not getting a callback after the casting call.  It was only after one of the casting directors asked me to send in a video that I decided to give it a go.  The thought of leaving Lisa, Lucas and the new baby was a hard action that I thought I had to make… but I have been overlooking some things.

Just a quick note….

I still haven’t heard from BL and the casting directors are still watching video tapes.  We hope to know by today, but I realize it probably won’t happen.  I have made some advances with choosing a trainer (start soon), starting to food log, and getting it back together.  This hopefully will be the round 2 that should have happened in January.  I will keep you posted.

For today, I wrote a guest post for Trish at www.iamsucceeding.com . She is an amazing blogger and wonderful inspiration to so many of us.  I am honored to be included as a friend and even more so that she would allow my story to grace her blog.  Go check it out and make sure you add her to your daily blog readings!!!  Have a great weekend and I hope to have good news soon.

The epic office war… Will there ever be peace?

Well as you saw yesterday, I am no good at waiting.  In fact, doing work while waiting is even more difficult because I am waiting for a phone to ring or e-mail to come in, so my focus is WAAY off.  Instead of sitting here going crazy, it was time to finally end this war with my office.

I hate waiting…

So waiting is never fun for anything, but it is difficult waiting to hear about the Biggest Loser.  We were told we would hear by the 15th if we move to the next phase of casting, so I along with thousands of others are just holding our breath for the phone call or e-mail.  So what have I done today while waiting.  Well, inspired by the pictorial posts of Jack, I decided to create a window into my office today… [Read the rest of this entry...]

So I admit… maybe I am jealous!

So I haven’t blogged for a few weeks and I have mainly been working on my Biggest Loser Video.  I may or may not release it here as it is very personal and emotional.  I know I have admitted a lot on my blog, but I am not sure if I am ready for that yet.  So, anyway, I now have some time to think and I have been sitting on twitter for an hour reading tweets and not a single one is a reply to me and I am getting jealous…  why don’t people like me?   [Read the rest of this entry...]

A great weekend. A Plan, a move, and a party!

Well, it has been a truly wonderful weekend. I was excited on Friday as I finally found a plan to follow for a while.  I know one thing about myself and that is the less planning that I have done, the less efficient I will be.  Without a plan, I fall prey to temptations.  I started the E2 experience today with an excellent lunch!!!!  It was awesome.   I had a HUGE bowl of Spinach, tomatoes, apple, carrots, almonds, and some balsamic vinegar.  It stuffed me and was very low in calories, plus it was awesomely rich in nutrients. A Huge lunch for 300 calories and 10 grams of fat. [Read the rest of this entry...]

in the midst of chaos, a plan has emerged…

Well I have been having a lot of chaos with trying to keep on track with working out and eating well.  Life has a tendency to get in the way.  I haven’t worked out since the BL audition and I just seem to be lost on what I needed to do to keep moving.  While at one point in time I was down almost 95 pounds, I have been fluctuating for the past 5 months.  I am now at 80ish pounds down and seem to have lost direction.

It never felt so good to be rejected!

I would have really loved this to be a video post, but I can barely talk due to bronchitis, so I will do a video post later hopefully. As of today, I am still in Nashville due to not feeling well enough to drive back to Winston Salem. I believe I will be well enough tomorrow to get back home. [Read the rest of this entry...]
