Okay - I have to share this with my friends - and hopefully get some encouragement!  I started working out with a friend two weeks ago - she’s a personal trainer and she’s hoping to build her business.  So I’m working out with her 3 times a week - and I’m already seeing progress!  I have to admit between  health issues and stupid birth control patch (which I’m no longer on) I gained back most of the weight I lost about 5 years ago.   

I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life (including anorexia for over 10 years) and so I’ve been a bit frustrated that I couldn’t get it off by myself. So here it goes!  I’ve lost inches - I’m not really weighing myself right now - because I’m doing a lot of converting fat to muscle and my weight will fluctuate - but I’ve lost 1-1/2 inches off of my hips! 1/2 an inch off of my chest and waist!!! I’m so excited about this!   

Thanks Andi for having the bonfire where Gretchen and I talked about getting healthy! Anyway - I’m excited and I can’t wait to see how much better I’m going to feel (once all the pain from doing Gretchen’s exercises goes away ;-))
