I have had so many things trying to block me from working out, gas prices are so high, and traveling to the other side of town to workout is getting very expensive. In spite of all of the obstacles, I have lost 83.5 lbs. I had an “Aha” moment when my trainer had me lift 80 lbs. I couldn’t pick up the weight, and just to think that weight plus a few more pounds is my total weight loss is just amazing. As I was leaving work, a fellow employee said to me either you didn’t work today, or that gym is giving you more energy. I do have more energy to run after my grandson and foster children and they are enjoying that I’m able to run and play with them more. I admit I love it too!!
