The truth is...no one is manning the blog right now. James and I have good intentions but have become a bit laxed. Not good. August didn't exactly go as planned. Today I got on the scale and I am 190 lbs but considering that I haven't worked out in a week...that's not bad. James was around 313 lbs when he got on the scale a few days ago. We are transitioning now. Cayden is back home from summer vacation, we'll be starting class soon and we're going to try and work out before work (will post our updated workout schedule this week). Trying to exercise in the evenings or during lunch is just not working out right now or shall I say that we're just not making it work. Cause I know it can if we make it happen. Anyway, I think I found a new motivation. I stumbled across this young lady on http://www.youtube.com/ who posted the most motivational videos. She started off at around 215-220 and now she has maintained a weight of 129 lbs for over a year I believe. She gave some good "tough love" advice and I really appreciate it. It wasn't directly to me but I plan on using it like it was. She also went on a natural hair journey (I've already accomplished that) but that was relevant too. I have a lot in common with her and I hope that she will continue to create videos because based on the reviews she received, she's helping a lot of people. I'll just share that one thing she said was to "Show them better than you can tell them"...yeah, we've all heard that one but I like what she meant by it. I was constantly posting my success on facebook. She basically said "Just do it"! That's good advice. Of course, she had other explanations behind it also...*long story*. I will; however, continue to post our journey here because I do want to always be reminded of how difficult this journey was and allow others to use this blog as motivation someday.
Well...here goes my new challenge "Show them better than you can tell them"
