Final Numbers

Well, its almost over. Tomorrow will be seven weeks since I arrived in Tucson. Only 4 days til I am home, if you wondered. Since I gave you the ugly details when I started, I thought it only fair to give you a report on the final numbers.

• 44 - Days in the gym
• 14 - Workouts with a trainer
• 5 - Times I did after saying I couldn't (I dont think Matt knows the words I Can't)
• 30 - Workouts pushing myself
• 50 - Water Aerobics classes
• 14 - Kickboxing classes
• 180 - Sit-ups at a "sitting"
• ?? - Miles walked (maybe just under a million)
• 0 - Days I went over my calories
• 2 - Planned cheats (within calorie limits)
• 3 - Restaurants eaten in
• 1 - Zumba class
• 2- Step classes

Oh, and I lost:

• fear
• inhibition
• addiction to food
• fear of failure
• lack of discipline
• and yes, pounds and inches

My journey is far from over and many of you will walk it with me daily. I know that 30 years of old habits and past failures will try to creep in from time to time. I am trusting God that the foundation has been laid for a new way of living. I have found the blog to be a great way for me to communicate what God and I have been up to. I will probably continue to blog as I walk down the long road ahead. As I look back over old blogs, it has become a testimony of where God has brought me.

I want to thank everyone who has followed and supported me through this "kick-off" phase of my journey. I could not have done it some days without your thoughts and prayers.

There is a quote on the gym wall: "Never let weakness tell you that you lack strength."

I think I will end with that.
