First off I am the winner!! OK, Maybe not of the overall challenge but of what I wanted to accomplish in the last 14 weeks I am. The BWLC is over and now the hard part begins. No more work outs with Dan 3 times a week. No Dan pushing me to my limit. No one to hold me accountable except for myself and we see where that has gotten me over the years.
Dan has taught me many things over the last 14 weeks. One is that exercise can be fun and to shake things up so my routine does not get old. I did recently join Gainesville Health and Fitness and this is one way I hope to keep my exercise going along with Saturday morning boot camp classes at Sweat Life Fitness. Another thing Dan has taught me is how to feed my body. Clean eating really does work people. what you feed into it is what you will get out. As far has holding myself accountable, well I think its about time I start doing that. I am 38 years old and if I dont take care of me who else will? Maybe a nurse in a nursing home when I am older and and cant walk because I did not take care of me. No no NO! The time is now. The last 14 weeks I have learned to embrace me for the weakness and my strengths. A total of 34 pounds have been shed and I would like another 50 to be gone as well. For now my goal is to be under 200 pound, Thats only another 9 more to go. The next weight loss goal will be 179 (20 pound increments) and so forth. This will be forever my life long journey.

1 Week left
So its Saturday morning April 7 at 1 o'clock in the morning. I cant sleep. I have got so many things racing around in my mind. Really starting to freak out that we only have 1 week left of the BWLC, 3 more workouts with Dan and we our on our own. Last Friday I did join the gym (GHFC) how many times have I gone ZERO. I am so afraid that when we are done I am going to get back into my lazy couch potato habits. Really that is not an option. I know exercise will keep me on the path to better health.
Another thing I have realized is that I am not a Blogger. Of all the things Dan has wanted us to do this I think has been the hardest. We started the blogg so we can be held accountable during our journey. I feel I have failed in this since I only have few post. Oh well I will get over it.
On that note I guess another reason I cant sleep is knowing that I am pretty sure I did not win this BWLC. Ya ya ya I know what your saying "just from being chosen and loosing 30 pounds your a winner" Right now I am not seeing it that way. I feel like many people were counting on me to win this one. From family, co-workers, clients etc and I feel like I have let them down. I feel like I have done the best that I could with out sacrificing myself and my family. Could I have exercised more? Probably.. Could I have followed the diet plan better? I am sure I could have but overall been extremely good. Over all I am happy with my progress. I did the best I could. So win or "lose" I really do know deep down inside I am a winner. I just hope others see it this way also. And by the way this is not me throwing in the towel. I am still in it to win it. Its not over until the skinniest lady sings.
