Gigi1222 journey
I am hoping this site is able to get me motivated again to achieve my weight loss goals. I started SP in Sept 2008, and it has motivated me to work out more than I would have ever thought.
11/08- This so far has been a great journey. I have a new attitude on life and working out. In November I got to meet Chalene the creator of Turbo Jam. It was AWESOME to say the least. That alone has motivated me to want to work out and be a better person. My attitude and perspective on ...

11/08- This so far has been a great journey. I have a new attitude on life and working out. In November I got to meet Chalene the creator of Turbo Jam. It was AWESOME to say the least. That alone has motivated me to want to work out and be a better person. My attitude and perspective on things has greatly changed since I started sparks. I really did not think that I would loose weight, as I had failed so many other times to get below the 160 mark, but right now I am teetering to get into the 150's. I have not been there for 10+ years. This program is making rethink about what I put in my mouth. I have now realized that is does matter how many calories you put in your mouth, even if you had a super tough work out. I am making myself accountable. I am making a change.
December 17,2008 began Chalean Extreme
December 31,2008- ran my first 5K at Midnight to bring in the new year. Time 33 minutes 12 seconds ( 5.5mph pace)
January I really decided to kick it up a notch with my running. The last week of January launched my official 12 wk training to get my 5k time under 30 minutes. Wish me luck!! I also was able to break out of the 150's and get into the 140's this month. I have never in my adult life been in this weight category, although I am not really planning on staying here for too long.
March- Now I am almost finished with CE. I am really ready to be done and get back into heavy cardio again for some time to see if I can loose my final few pounds. I am so close to goal. March 1,2009 was the first time that I ran 4 miles non stop. Every few weeks I can go a little further. This is so exciting to me as I have never been able to do this before. I am now looking towards a 10k training program as my next step, and maybe even a HM. Thanks for my SP friends I have the courage to try and do more, and succeed. Without this place I know I would still be struggling.

This is a new year, and I am really going to make it to goal this year. I am training for my first HM in April, and my body is not liking it. In August 2009 I tore my hamstring and had to make it through a 16 week recovery. I am still working on getting back to where I was weight wise, and also speed and endurance.
