Perseverance

Today I started working out with a trainer. I tried exercising on my own and it just didn't work out---I wasn't pushing myself hard enough and often times I wouldn't even go to the gym. Now I have someone to be accountable to and someone to push me. I'm excited about losing the 25 pounds I have gained and getting back into shape. Now if I can just stay away from Mexican food and margaritas!!! :)

Best wishes, difficult to do but rewarding! Ahh, but that Mexican food is calling!

[JLeeper]

[Denise Vetromile]

excellent shot, Della! And, I'm with you ... think you need to tag this for this week's theme, as it "implies" action! LOL!

[Carolyn R]

Good luck! I feel your pain!! We have been dieting and exercising - well I've been exercising - since May 18 - we're each down 19 lbs. So good luck - staying with it is the answer!

[Kirsty .P]

Good for you,you can DO IT Della!! (wish I could,lol)

[Rick Schies]

In the next few weeks my Wife and I are going to be doing the same thing. We must get into better shape for our own health. It's a life l;ong battle.

[Andrea Freeman]

mmmmm Margaritas! I used to be a bartender in a mexican restaurant, that was trouble. Best of luck to you and congrats on taking the step to get a trainer. That's awesome

[Melody Beitzel]

good for you! Neat picture!

[Allison Williams]

Saying it to all of us will be a prime motivator. Good luck!

[Tracy Watkins]

great shot.. good luck with working out. I wish I could get motivated enough.

[mirmax]

Have fun with your "action".

[Barb]

YES! I know what you mean.............................:o)

[Tanya]

Yumm love Margaritas :) Hopefully once you start to see some results you wont have to try so hard with the motivation.

[Louise & Ken]

Having followed your journey this year, I relate to what you're saying. I should hand you an invitation to come to Lunenburg if you want to be without Mexican food and Margaritas! This is no-man's land in that regard! It's the first thing I'm looking forward to back in California!


Congratulations to you for the effort you're putting forth, and a terrific symbolic photo!

[Slava]

Good luck, Della!! It's so hard to stay motivated on your own! My biggest problem is sweets... i've been trying to stay away from them, but it doesn't always work!

[승준(seung jun)]

[Jen E]

Good luck!

[Mrs. Smith]

You can do it! :) It's not easy with everything we have to do. Keep working at it...one day at a time.
