It Hasn't Been An Easy Road

Hey I am back....
The first month and a half was hard hard work...I was working out with Kenya one on  one.  Well July came and I went to Vegas...yes the first day there I practiced restraint from the buffet foods and it was hard as heck. But the next couple of days, I did enjoy the buffet...however, the good thing is unlike past trips to Vegas or any trips for that matter, I had a plan before I went on my trip. I had already looked into whether or not the hotel had a gym, the cost, and the hours they were open. I was in Vegas for 5 days and I purchased the 3-day gym pass for $65 and walked the strip the other 2 days to get exercise. Now what was the benefit of all that preparation before my trip...when I got back home and weighed myself, I had not gained a single pound.

Now there have been moments, and very few of them I must say where the road got hard due to my emotions getting the best of me and before I knew it, I was sitting at my favorite restaurant (Chili's) with a thing of salsa and chips and an old timer hamburger. You know what, I still didn't feel better..my situation was still staring me in my face. But thank God I knew that although I fell off the horse, I lived another day to get back on and do it again.

No this journey is not an easy one, but over the last 11 months I have learned how to put my emotions in check and not turn to food, but instead I write in my journal, I call my workout buddies, I call my trainer, and yes I even call on God.

For those that read this and say, I can't...you will never know if you can if you don't take that first step. I aim to be an inspiration for others.

Question: What is keeping you from making that first step to make a significant change in your life?
