sandysford Posts: 1,139 Joined: 2002/11/18	2007/05/29, 04:19 AM Today May 29th, I start to workout for another new me. Moved to Colorado (Most beautiful place on earth) Let myself go for the last year. I went through a bout of mild depression missing my kids, missing my old home and even missing my old job and to top it off Sandy's Ford blew up. Let my self take comfort in those wonderful comfort foods. Like I said it has been a year since the move, finally found a job, found out the kids can make it without me (we do burn up the phone lines), got a Ford Explorer to replace the Truck and you know what, I really like my new Apartment. My husband for those of you who know him, he is BB1fit and god bless his pea pickin little heart, has been very patience man and smart too (he has not one time said to me, Hey lady getting a little fat, or hey time to go to the gym, ya think). Ron, let me thank you now for not getting on me and letting me ride this thing out and get my self together. I haven't been in the gym more than 20 times since I have been here. I have to get back on track. Things are looking grossly out of shape on my body and I know my health has gone to hell. Working a 4 day week 10 hours a day. Topping out at 160 and looking to get back to 130. For those of you that know me,( Hi everyone) you know that I worked very hard a few years ago to get into shape and possibly get on stage with my husband and do a little posing. Never made it to the stage but that is okay. Let myself go and took a good long hard look in the mirror tonight, wiped the tears and decided that it is time again to get back to where I was when I was happy with myself. Right now I am off to bed. No real plans on how I am going to start this thing but the first step is getting back to the gym. I know what a support team Free trainers can be and I for one could not have done it with you guys and BB1fit. Now it is time to do it again. Yeah me I have just taken the first step, :love:

Can be real inspiring when you do get back into the swing of things!! You know, Ron knows, and all of us know you'll be posting results here shortly!! Good luck!!

Plus - he eats clean, so it won't be hard to clean out your cupboards and get back on track! You can do it, Sandysford! Maybe it is time to set a goal to finally compete - that will motivate you !

Didn't know the whole song so I googled it: PICK YOURSELF UP From the Film: Swing Time 1936 (Lyrics by: Dorothy Fields / Music by: Jerome Kern) Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Please teacher, teach me something, Nice teacher, teach me something. I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst, My two feet haven't met yet, But I'll be teacher's pet yet, 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start All over again. Don't lose your confidence if you slip, Be grateful for a pleasant trip, And pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. Work like a soul inspired, Till the battle of the day is won. You may be sick and tired, But you'll be a man, my son! Will you remember the famous men, Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath, Pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, Start all over again. I'll get some self assurance If your endurance is great. I'll learn by easy stages If you're courageous and wait. To feel the strength I want to, I must hang on to your hand, Maybe by the time I'm fifty I'll get up and do a nifty. Nothing's impossible I have found, For when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, Dust myself off, Start all over again.
