Busy once again with school and didn't take the time to blog! My weight has slowed down quite a bit, with me only losing 10 pounds during this time! I am now losing weight that has been on my body for a long time, and it is not going without a fight! My walking during the winter months had stopped due to the weather with me only getting out every now and then when the weather was nice. I started doing walking videos inside the house instead, which was nice, but not really burning the calories like I should be. And I just didn't seem to be able to push myself to do more.
It dawned on me that I am no longer that 326 pound woman that couldn't exercise. I needed to start doing things ''outside the box'' so to speak and for me, that meant joining a gym! So I went down the next day and talked to the wonderful people at Genesis Health Club! AND...I joined! I even signed up for a trainer, whose name is Michelle. Hopefully working out will help push me and this stubborn fat!! I can do this!
I also talked to my counselor at school and decided to change my major. I originally wanted to be a Social Worker, but my counselor thought that a degree in Sociology would give me more opportunity to find a job, as there has been a hiring freeze in the State on Social Workers, which (due to the retirement benefits) I wanted to work for. Since I didn't want to have a degree in an area where I couldn't find a job, I decided that I would finish a degree in Sociology. Luckily, I was able to use the classes I have already taken and apply them toward this degree.
So lots of changes going on ... what an exciting time for me!!
