Ready, Set, Go!

I just want to say how excited and motivated I am to be training with Mendy! Since having my baby 7 weeks ago, I am more motivated than ever to really change from not caring really what I put into my body, to really caring about how healthy and fit I can be! Mendy has helped me realize that its not about the six-pack abs or the size 0 jeans I wore in high school, but to get healthy and to achieve a good, useful goal that will not only benefit me, but can help other people too! I too, have to realize that I am not 16 anymore and that I can't get away with eating whatever I feel the need and still be skinny.
I have noticed even in this first week of working out that I already have more energy than before. I love the way it feels to be sweating your butt off and thinking, 'gosh, this is the longest last ten minutes on the elliptical or how bad the last set of crunches hurts,' but Wow, what a great feeling it is to step off the machine after a 45 minute workout and realize your one step closer to achieving the goal you have set for yourself!
It is also a great motivation to look down at my innocent little baby boy and have the urge to strive to be the best mother I can be and show him as he grows how to have good eating habits, make the right choices, and that being healthy will have a strong positive affect on his life! I look around in the world and see such obesity in small children and it makes me sick to think about how people are letting their children even at small ages have such bad, unhealthy eating habits and instead of being outside playing sports, they are sitting in front of the television and playing video/computer games.
So, lift up your water bottles ladies... I PROPOSE A TOAST to all the ladies on this blog that are wanting to make a change in their life or achieve a certain goal....Get ready, Get set, Go For It!!!
