It's Motivational Monday!!!

Today is the first weigh-in since I joined Operation Fat Blaster. I was still a little nervous getting on the scale, even though I know I've made major improvements over the week. I was hoping for some huge, monumental loss for my first week with my OFB troop. When I looked down into that tiny little window, I did see a loss. I now weight 210.6, which means I lost 1.4 pounds this week. Not the giant change I'd been hoping for, but still a move in the right direction...and .4 more than I lost last week!

I know there are still many things I need to do, like step up my exercise even harder. I worked out much more than I used to, but I can still up my game, and I know it. I have several DVD's to go through, some of which I bought and then never opened. It was as if my motivation left me the minute I got the disc home from the store. It just goes to show...you could actually live at a gym, but if you don't get your mind in the game it doesn't mean a thing. At least I know I will have a wide variety of DVD's to work out with, so I won't be bored!

Every Monday I'm also going to put up a link to a motivational person, to help us on our journey. Today I'm starting with Mandisa, who was on American Idol Season 5. Not only does she inspire with her brand of Gospel/Contemporary Christian music...have you seen her lately? Ms. Mandisa has lost over 60 pounds! Check her out at http://mandisa.sparrowrecords.com/ and see what she's been up to...and be motivated!

This week will be even better than the last one...let's blast that fat!!!
