I am Ebullient

Today is the day!!! I meet my niece today!! I can't wait!

I am usually a woman of my word except for when it comes to myself. I will do whatever I can for others but when I need to do something for me I seem to just go with, 'whatever'! Today that is coming to an end. It is time I made a commitment to myself - but it still includes the other people in my life. Today I start getting healthy and sticking to a workout program. I want to be there for my family, my friends and for Ryan and what our future holds. If I am over weight or unhealthy I won't be able to be there for anyone. I can tell that in the past few weeks I have slacked on taking care of me. I already feel the effects. My back is sore, I am tired all the time & my acid problems are still bad even with daily medicine. No more of this. Today I start a workout - ChaLEAN Extreme/Turbo Fire Hybrid. I am even kind of excited about it. I am tired of feeling sore and achy. This is 3 months and it just so happens that my birthday is in 3 months. I am making this com...

It's almost been a year since my last post.  That just doesn't seem possible but so much has happened in this past year that it is definitely true. Lets start this off by noting I changed the title of my blog from - Your Third Wheel  - to - I am Ebullient.  Showing quite the change in my life.  I mean I still have bad days but things are much happier on a daily basis. In the past year or so I've been enjoying friends & family, taking proactive steps to get over my bumps in the road, I've become an honorary aunt (again), I've become a REAL AUNT, I've become a girlfriend... and so much more. I'm ready for a new journey - One of health and beauty and love. Stay Tuned!!!!

I must say.. I am pretty impressed with myself for going to the gym 4 out of 7 days. I am still working on making it a habit, either going to the gym or going for a walk. I did pretty good on food this week too, except Wednesday, but I went to the gym before my anger about the dentist took me to taco bell - but I didn't get a soda so the dentist should be happy. So this week I do more... 5 or 6 days out of 7. Keep doing better on food & continue to stay away from fast-food. Sounds easy.... Right. I'm working on myself.... Reinventing My Life!

Just seems like I am getting bigger and not smaller at all. Without Jen & a training I probably would have already quit.

With a busy weekend behind me I now have goals from my trainer. Small goal... Swim 300 Meters by the end. Of September. Weekly goals.. Walk 2-3 times a week. Bike once a week. Swim/aqua twice a week. Then I have a weights to lifts 2-3 times a week. Then random chair dips & push-ups. Long term goal.... Get this weight off in 6 month so I can go skiing!!! I am going to meet a nutritionist and get food on track!!! Damn food is my biggest problem. Any help is appreciated! Tonight did a mini triathlon - walked 30 min. Swam/aqua for a good 30 min (plus relaxed in the hot tub) then picked up some Subway and came home to bike for 15 minutes. Gotta get my rear retrained for a bike. I didn't wear the padded shorts!!! Already good in my mind. Now inches and fat... Get off of me. I got dream to fulfill!!
