I am anxiety ridden today.. it's a real biotch. But then my boyfriend released a new single, and he said this.. "And I'm trying not get stuck in my head." Then I laughed because that is my life story. Always, always in my head trying to over analyze every situation and I've gotta snap out of it. Boom, done. Also you should go download this song, because it kicks butt and I love it and him so many.
If you follow me on Twitter, you may know that last night was my final training session with my personal trainer, Brooke. Over the course of two months, I completed 24 sessions with her. Today I am going to share my results.

Am I happy with these results? Well, they are better than nothing.. but this is hard. This was the course of 64 days and I worked out 52 of of those days. That's a lot I feel. I also diligently tracked my calories on My Fitness Pal and did not go over with the exception of about 5 or 6 days. I was very dedicated to this, but doing it in a way that was healthy and safe.
I did take some comparison photos and while my wonderful friends (Max and Brin) insist that the changes are there, I just don't feel comfortable sharing them with the interwebs just yet. I think that maybe in another month or two when it's more obvious and noticeable to me I will share. With that being said, if you are super interested and feel that pictures will help motivate you.. Email me and I will more than likely show them to you.
Where do I go from here? Well first of all, I will not be continuing with a personal trainer. While we did have our ups and down, I am truly grateful for everything that she did for me and I would love to continue with her. However, the expense is just not something I can manage long term. Her and I both decided that she would be willing to check up on me often, and I would work towards saving the money for more sessions.
With that being said, I think I am ready to work at this on my own. I know what to do in the weight room and I am slowly but surely gaining the confidence to do it on my own. I'm not perfect, but I'm getting there. This is and will continue to be one of the hardest things I have ever tried to accomplish, but the benefits are worth it. All of my clothes are starting to feel too big, and people are starting to notice the changes in my body. As long as I keep reminding myself of these things, I know that I will be able to motivate myself to keep going.
A big, huge thank you to everyone that has left comments, tweets, and emails of encouragement. You all have no idea how motivating they are and how great they make me feel! As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
