The Journey Begins

I was a little bit apprehensive last night, getting ready to go to our first official meeting. Not knowing what to expect, I was trying to keep an open mind, but all the insecurities I keep hidden down deep inside myself started bubbling up, causing some anxiety. I was also excited at the realization of what was about to happen. My anxiety and excitement came through in my elevated BP! And I don't normally HAVE high blood pressure! The scale and measuring of body fat, etc was difficult to swallow, but it's okay. I knew it was going to be hard, and in 8 months, I'm going to look back at this new beginning and be oh so thankful for the incredible blessing.

I'm familiar with all but three of the other people involved in this journey with me, and hope to get to know them all in a more personal way. My trainer is Laurie. Laurie and I go way back and I couldn't be more happy that she's going to be the one kicking my butt! I know she'll be motivating, encouraging, and downright TOUGH! 4 days a week is required of me for training/exercise, but this is a 24/7/365 journey I'm on and it starts NOW! BRING IT ON!!!!!!
