Thoughts...

I have mixed feelings.  I don't know how many people actually read this post, but I am getting discouraged.  Maybe it's because I am starting a diet of 700 - 800 calories.  Maybe it's because I haven't lost weight in 4 weeks.  Maybe it's because I am feeling so lonely.  (I have no family here, as they live 4 hours away)  Yes, I have friends, but family is family.  Maybe it's because I'm struggling financially.  Who knows?  Only God knows. But I cannot give up.  Again...I have survived another difficult week.  I've had lots of pain...lots of work (job)...stressful students this year...difficult co-workers (at times)...co-worker battling breast cancer...  Well I will start this week with training with Javier on Monday.  I go for blood work on Tuesday and hope to get good news about my diabetes, cholesterol and  blood pressure.  Then I hope to train on Wednesday with Mark.  Finally gym on Friday on my own.  I refuse to get discourage and I strongly believe obstacles make me stronger...but why so many?  I know I might not be going through anything compared to others, but I still go through them.  I hope my words can inspire someone out there to do the right thing about their health and weight problems.  Don't wait too long like me.  Til next time...
