I heart my family

Yo adoro mi familia. From the oldest to the youngest.. have really helped motivate me and keep me on track with my health journey. I got my butt kicked tonight. I had a ho hum day but Yvonne called and we decided to meet to work out tonight alongside her daughter, Prissy. They really pushed me and inspired me to work out hard tonight. The kids that my siblings have made are amazing. They are honest to goodness good people and I am so honored to be a part of their lives. 

Prissy really stepped it up and became my "trainer" tonight. She walked me through different exercises that she is grilled on at PE. I huffed and puffed but she got me through it. It hit me at that moment tonight how even the youngest members of my family can help, if I just ask.  It's not that I just discovered I was fat but becoming comfortable to talk openly with my family about our gordura and specifically about mine has really lit a fire in all of us. 

Today I let my no weight loss get to me. I know I shouldn't have focused on it but I could not help it. I stayed within in my WW points and I met with my new trainer to evaluate me for the upcoming Bootcamp I'm starting on Monday. Although I was doing something incredible for myself I could not help but feel so defeated when I walked into the door and meet Frances.  And went through my workout and health (or lack there of) history. So tonight really helped flip that around. This journey is not going to be easy but I know each day will bring me closer to the life I really am meant to live. Sometimes it feels like I have to battle each hour but it so damn good to know I have a support system behind me that will love and guide me through my ho hum and dark days. :)
