Day 41

What a rough week I had. The coughing lingered on and I think now I pulled a muscle on my ribs to compound this misery. Each day though I am making myself do the video as I know me well enough by now this would have given the old Kim a reason to give up. 
I work today after missing yesterday got up and did the core exercises just to keep me honest and I am feeling better now. 
I am excited to be able to go to my church tomorrow seems like work has been messing with that schedule a bunch. I feel off balance for the week when I miss my day at New Life Community. 
Still losing weight and inches. Slowly but surely and that is the kind that will stay off. I did not gain this weight in a week. I am so mad that people believe there is a magic weight loss pill. Maybe someday in the future yes but right now its good food, good supplements, and good exercises for me. So do NOT be afraid to work up a sweat. Do NOT be afraid that you may have a few hunger pangs. When you see your new self in the 24, 48 and 72 days you know that it was worth it. Are you ready to join me yet? Its never to late to start this challenge. Call me or text me. 

Day 38

Wow where did the days go? OH YEAH! I went to Texas for almost 4 of those and was sick with an Asthma attack the rest. Through all that I still did my exercises on the Can you 24 and am still losing pounds and inches. I am now working on getting Larry to join me. Can I say that going to Texas was a great time? It was wonderful. It made me even more ready to help others become healthy and be fit with our great products. I will be posting pictures after day 47 so I am really going to hit it hard so people can see the difference 48 days has made in my life.
 So sitting here wondering what I could tell you to make you see you need to be fit in your life. If I said you were worth it and so much more would that be enough to get you motivated? If I said you had people in your life that want to see you stay around awhile would that do it? If I said you had a better life to live than working the 9-5 you are doing then sitting the evening away on the couch throwing back a cold one(or 10) and smoking a pack (or 2) of cigermerettes a day would you start to believe me? Come on folks life isn't easy. We started this life out with things we wanted to accomplish and goals we wanted to see. How is that looking for you now? I am 51 years old and I feel better than I did when I was 30. I am putting good things in my body. Food choices, exercise and quality Advocare products. I do not have a grand-kid yet but even if I don't have one until I am 70 I will be able to keep up with them because I am doing things now that are getting me healthy and fit. So you can become greater, live stronger, feel better if you just decide to change the things that you are doing now. 
Please, please know that you are worth so much more. I know its hard to believe people when they say, "If I can do it you can too." What makes you so much more different than me if you say "no I can't" I have to wonder what makes us so different? Is it you are lazier than me? Nope! I was lazy now I choose to move. Are you afraid to fail? We all are. Me included. Guess what? That's part of life. We stumble, we fall off the horse but with Gods grace we get back up and get on track. So I do not acknowledge your excuses. To cold, to hot, hard day at work, easy day, no time, no energy, kids, life, dog, problems, money, its all just a thing we tell ourselves so we have room to fail. Why not say I have 5 minutes I can start somewhere. Then carve out more time as your commitment grows. Invest in your life. Don't become complacent with where you are now. Our God is a God of abundance and wants us to have much. Its not going to be easy and it will test your faith and endurance but in the end you will be happier because you did what you set out to do.
 So here we are. If you have been following this blog from the beginning you know that its a milestone for me. I am writing down thoughts and measurements but in the end that is not what is important. Its believing in yourself and getting up to move. There is so much more to life than a big screen TV and a cold beer at the end of a hard day at work. Never settle for anything less than the best. We are worth it. So call me get a hold of me, get up and move, and start to open your eyes and your heart and really begin to live. You will never regret it. I promise. 

Day 30

OK folks I am still out here and still going strong. I just had real life come in last week so I had hardly no time to sit down here and collect my thoughts and write to you all. I have now worked my way into the 2nd DVD of Can you 24. I am also trying to workout 5 days with 2 days stretching. I have switched to 2 meal replacers a day and see where this takes me. I am down 8 lbs since last weigh in and 5 or more inches overall. I am not so worried about that now. I am just really going to make sure I do my basic workouts and get my vitamins and healthy food in me. I love that I am seeing muscles starting to form where I never had noticed before. So I am still out here not giving up and wanting you guys to join me. Lets get fit together. Call me or text you got the number.
