JOURNALS
April
15
Well today was the big
day....Drum roll please
 ....I
am down 15 pounds..YAY...I
think that I was in a little
bit of shock, it didn't really
hit me till I was in Yoga a
few hours later...I am really
proud of myself and that feels
good because I usually don't
give myself any credit...But
at the moment I think I am
great...I am one step closer
to my goals and dreams and
right now anything is
possible...Today was an
awesome day...I hope everyone
else has an awesome day as
well!!! 
April 14
Today was a good day. My
energy level was a little
low...But I managed, I went
to the gym and my cardio
after work. The gym is soooo
great for stress relief I
swear some days I could be
there for hours...(I know
that sounds sick but I feel
so great after :-) My
assessment is
tomorrow...Little bit
nervous...Have a great day
everyone!!!
April 13
Wow last night was really
inspiring, made me want to go to
the gym and work out...It was just
the motivation I needed, you all
looked so amazing.CONGRATULATIONS
TO YOU ALL!!! One day I hope to be
up on that stage...I just need to
make a game plan and get
going....Not much happened today,
just hung out with my Mum and
relaxed, it was great...Have a
great day everyone...
April 12
Got up and went to the gym...Full of
energy...Did lots of cardio
today...I guess I am feeling nervous
about my assessment on Tuesday...The
what if's...are driving me crazy.
But I am feeling better physically
and emotionally so that is really
all that matters .
I just hope I have some good news to
report on Tuesday...Have a great day
everyone...
Ps...Good luck (even though you
don't need it you all will do
amazing) To all that are going to be
in the Bodybuilding Challenge
tonight...I will be there to cheer
you on...
April 11
TGIF I am really happy it's
Friday...I am very irritable today
(not a common thing for me, but I
am human so it happens
)
Had that chocolate craving again
today....Protein bars are the
best...(sorry I had to have
another one today...I try not to
have them too often but it was
that or a chocolate bar..) I
figured that that was a better
option...Didn't make it to the gym
today...Ended up working 15 hours
today...way too long...SO I guess
I am going tomorrow..Have a great
day everyone...
April 10
Today I was tired...complete
opposite from yesterday...After I
woke up though my day ended up
being good...Did everything I had
to do....Had a huge chocolate
craving... thank goodness for
chocolate protein bars....Have a
great day !!!!
April 9
Had the day off YAY
...
So I slept in till 9:00 then
went to the gym totally
refreshed...(usually I have to
drag my butt in there at 6:00am)
Had a really good workout and
later that day went for a
walk...All in all it was
great...I could definitely get
use to days like this!!! I can
dream can't I...Have a great day
everyone...
April 8
Still feeling a little run down...I took
some liquid iron...sometimes my iron
levels get funny and it helped a
lot...felt fine after that. Went to Yoga
tonight...it was just what I
needed...felt totally rejuvenated
after...Have a great day everyone !!
April 7
First day back at work and it feels as
though I didn't even have 9 days
off...It amazing how that happens. I
didn't go to the gym today since I
went on Saturday...I was way to tired
to get up. My energy level hasn't been
as high but I think my body is just
adjusting to the time change. I am
sure once I get back into my routine
everything with be better
Have
a great day everyone.
April 6
Today was a really busy day. Again I
had to be the really nice sister and
drive my brother to work but because
of the time change it was a lot
hard...My meals were really thrown
off today I just felt very
scattered. Went to a baby shower and
anybody that has every been to a
baby shower knows bad food is
everywhere...but I was good veggies
and water...Everyone commented on
how good I looked so that made it a
lot easier to stick to my eating
plan...I was great....Have a great
day everyone
April 1
Wow I can't believe it is already
April...this year is just flying by...I had
soooo much energy today...I was pretty much
bouncing off the walls...Got up and went to
the gym...did my cardio and weights...then
felt so good did more cardio.. then came
home had breakfast...went for a walk on the
beach before the rain and hail and whatever
else was coming from the sky came
down...perfect timing too...got back in the
car just as the storm hit :-) Cleaned the
house...and then before I knew it, it was
time for Yoga...Yoga was sooooo great...I
totally recommend yoga to anyone..f or
relaxation, flexibility, core strength etc
etc...and anybody can do it...anybody...Well
I am going to try and calm myself down to
get ready for bed...Have a great day
everyone...
April 2
Today was a great day...Had lots to
do today so I was at the gym at
6:00...That is a total
accomplishment for me...It felt
great to actually have the energy to
get out of bed at 5:30...My energy
level was pretty consistent all
day...However I am pretty tired now,
but it is 11:00pm... Kim and I did
manage to get a walk in there as
well...Along with our friend Jessica
whom is following along with
us...Keep up the good work Kim and
Jess. As well as everyone else. I
have been reading the journals and
everyone seems to be doing great.. I
am totally ready for bed...Thanks
again Johanne for the nice
words...Have a great day everyone!!
April 3
Well today was a good day...Was
busy all day...However I don't
think I drank enough water
because I was really hungry ...I
ate all my meals and snacks
usually hunger isn't really an
issue....Just finished a
big thing of water...Probably be
up going to the bathroom most of
the night  ...Didn't
get to go for a walk today...Had
my last aromatherapy class...it
was great.. but know I am
tired...I am actually going to
get to bed before 12:00 yay :-)
Have a great day everyone!!!
April
4
The weekend is here
again...Everything is getting
to be so routine I don't
really think about the things
I can't have...Yay...Today was
a good day...Went to the gym
did cardio and weights. Then
went for a walk down on the
beach because it was sooooo
beautiful outside...So I
figured I would take advantage
since the weather has been so
strange. Then came the fun
part...Kim and I decided we
would go try out racquetball
...haha makes me laugh just
thinking about it...I am truly
surprised that neither of us
got hurt...I told Kim that if
we were to look up graceful in
the dictionary...our pictures
would not be there :-)...we
had fun though and boy do
you work up a sweat...and
man did we laugh.. there is
nothing better then laughing
at yourself...well Kim was
pretty funny too...I think we
will definitely do that
again...I have to say that
once we got going we got a
pretty good rally going...So
that's it for now...Have a
great weekend everyone
April
5
Today was a good day. Went
to the gym and just did
cardio...wasn't really
suppose to but I feel so
much better when I do. Then
did some stuff around the
house and watched a movie at
my friends...Had lot of
energy all day...but off to
bed now...driving my brother
to work at 6:00 and the time
is changing yuck!!! Have a
great day everyone.

MARCH
JOURNALS
March
6
Journaling....writing
down my feelings is something I have never
really been good at. It's all good though,
what is one more challenge :-) I say BRING IT
ON I am ready. Well it's 2 more days till I
meet with John and get my workout and eating
plan, and man am I ready...I have been reading
the other journal entries and I am totally
excited to get started. My pictures are now up
on the website. I really didn't want to look
at them, but I did. Of course my first thought
is "oh my goodness....I don't really look
like that" but after the shock wore off
my second thought was "It is definitely
time to do something, I can't live like this
anymore....
March
7th
Well
one more day till I meet with John. I am
really getting anxious now, I just want to get
started on my road to success...Today was a
pretty crazy day. I don't have my own
children, however I am a nanny for my cousins
a 4 1/2 year old girl and a 3 year old little
boy. I do this Monday to Friday 8:00am to
7:00pm (sometimes later) I have been doing
this for 2 1/2 years but I find the older they
get the more energy I need to have...and by
the end of the day I am totally spent...which
isn't right...I am only 22 years old, I should
have more energy...That is definitely one of
my goals....
March
8th
Today
was the day....I finally met with John. I got
my workout and eating plan. I am really
impressed with all the detail that went into
making my book, and I am very appreciative to
John and the
bodies 'n motion team...Thank you...I had the
stir-fry dinner and felt really good after
eating it...I didn't have that I just ate a
huge dinner feeling. I can't wait for
tomorrow....:
March 15
Wow today
was a tough one, but I passed!!....I went to a
softball tournament which is something I do a
lot of in the spring and summer. Most of my
friends play ball so we all usually just hang
out all day eat crap and drink beer....Man did
I want the beer and the crap but I
just sat there and ate my great protein bar, I
actually did really like my protein bar  First
test...passed... Then we went out for
dinner...chicken stir-fry/ No rice...Second
test passed....Then we went to a movie, and
boy did that popcorn smell good, funny thing
is I don't ever eat the popcorn there but when
you know you can't or should I say won't eat
it...then you really want it. Watched the
movie and drank my water...Third
test...PASSED...So I guess it turned out to be
a pretty good day...I learned something
too....I am totally in control...I have
WILLPOWER....something I never thought I
had...Have a great day everyone
March 16
Today
was a great day
 I
love Sundays...I got up really early (for me)
6:15am to drive my brother to work....Then
came back and ate my favorite
breakfast...Option #2 eggs...Kim and I went
downtown to Capers and did our weekly grocery
shopping...Had a really nice, relaxing
time.. Came home and made Chicken Stir-fry for
my family...Then Kim and I went for a walk on
the beach... I had tons of energy all day and
feel relaxed and rejuvenated to start my
week...Have a great day everyone
March 17
I
feel GREAT. It has been one full week with my
new lifestyle. I have more energy, I sleep
better I just feel good. I haven't felt this
way in a while. To top it off my pants are
looser...I am really going to do it this time
I
can feel it. We all are!!!! Anyway I am not
having any problems with temptation...I think
after all the temptation I had this weekend I
am numb to it...I just don't have any interest
in cheating because I realized that I am only
hurting myself, it doesn't really matter to
anyone else if I don't do this. Kim and I went
for a walk down on the beach this
evening....It's really great to have someone
else just to blab with about all the different
things we are going through and they know
exactly what your going through...The offer
still stands if anyone wants to join us for a
walk by the way. Off to bed...Have a great day
everyone....
March 18
Today
was a good day...My allergies are starting to
act up though...Making me not hungry, but I
ate all my meals on time anyway...I can't
believe the energy I have now...I am go, go,
go all day and at the end of the day...I
actually have energy to go for a walk with
Kim. My temptation level was pretty good
today...I really wanted something sweet
though...so I had my protein shake,
that did the trick ...Have
a great day everyone...
March 19
Rain, Rain
go away.... I
just want to go for a walk...Usually the
rain doesn't slow me down but it is pouring
and windy. I went to the gym this morning so I
guess I can miss my walk tonight...I had a
pretty good day...I ate all my meals, I wasn't
that hungry during the day so I don't think I
ate as much as I should have because when the
evening came around I was starving....Kim had
to talk me off a ledge...All I wanted was some
popcorn I think I just wanted the filler...I
knew that I shouldn't have it I guess that's
why I phoned her cause she would talk me out
of it...Good Job Kim...THANKS...I ended up
just having my shake..I guess that's it for
today...Have a great day everyone
March 20
Well
today was a good day...Did everything on
schedule as planned...I love it when
everything comes together as planned
 It
makes my day soooo much easier...I went to my
Aromatherapy classes even had enough energy to go
for a walk with Kim...The weather cooperated
as well
 ....Well
I am off to do a little yoga and head to bed.
Have
a great day everyone!!!
March 21
Okay
I am not sure if I wrote a journal yesterday
or not....I am leaning more to not so here we
go...What did I do yesterday.....I am writing
this on the 22nd so I am having a bit of a
mind block Oh
yeah I was really busy with work but I ate all
my meals on schedule...I had tons of energy
too...I was a little stressed but instead of
eating something to make me feel better (which
I usually do) I went to the gym a worked off
the stress....It felt great...I was soooo
tired when I got home I just vegged and went
to bed.
March
22
Well today was a good day....I definitely find the weekends a
lot more difficult...With temptations
everywhere....scheduling etc etc...I never
realized how much my friends and I ate. we eat
all the time on the weekend...But I survived
and it actually didn't turn out to be that
bad...I went for a walk with Kim in the early
evening...Then went to a party....My friends
are actually being quite supportive, they are
usually the peer pressure kings and
queens...(not saying that I give into peer
pressure) but I think they know how bad I want
this...so it was cool...Hope everyone is
having a great weekend!!
March 23
Today was great I love days that I have nothing planned I
don't have to do anything...I went for a walk
on the beach in the afternoon...The wind
almost blew me away, it was crazy...
Sunday night dinner...My family is English and a typical
Sunday dinner in my house is roast beef,
mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding....But
because I am doing this transformation...my
mum has been so nice as to change the day for
a day that I won't be around...My brothers are
too happy...Sorry Shane and Jeremy....but it's
good for you Have a great day everyone.....
March 24
I find the weekdays a lot easier...I have a
lot of structure in my weekdays so it is easy
to schedule in exercise and meals....today was
good...I am totally loving the sun...It makes
my mood just that much better...Hope everybody
has a great week
March 25
Today was a good day....Just finish my chicken stir-fry and
veggies....I can't wait for Saturday to learn
some different ideas for cooking...This is the
only problem I am having I love to cook and I
love variety...so cooking the same things all
the time...is getting a little boring....So
any new cooking ideas are totally
welcome...Have a great day
March 27
Today
was a good day...ate my meals did my
workout...Starting to seem as though I am
living the same day over and over and over
again...haha. Kim and I went for a walk at the
beach and now I am getting ready to go to
bed...Cause I am sooo tired I babysat 5 kids
today...I usually watch 2 kids but 5, 5 is a
lot more...I always said I wanted 5
kids...maybe not now haha Hope everyone had a
great day
