I Got the Power

You would think that maybe I would have figured this out a while ago, but I got the power.  No one else does.  I am the one that holds my future in my hands.  Sure, there will be other people that will influence me, or introduce me to new ideas, but ultimately it's up to me.  I, and I alone have to make the changes and do the right thing. 

I've been "busting my ass" according to others.  I won't disagree, I hit the gym on a very regular basis.  I burn at least 100 calories for every 10 minutes I am in the gym.  I use a heart rate monitor to ensure I'm staying in my zones.  I'm doing work.  I'm keeping myself accountable.  If getting in to the gym twice in one day, and burned just over 1000 calories isn't getting it done...I don't know what would be.  I just need to keep at it.  That I can do. 

I know there are a lot of other programs out there where you start shredding weight immediately.  I know that there are other people of my size that have lost weight immediately when they started exercising.  What can I say...my body has never been typical for anything.  I was at a plateau for almost 3 months when I finally decided to take on the program here at Go Fitness.  Of course I'm nervous, but I'm not quitting. 

I'm not perfect.  I will have setbacks & will need to watch my diet.  I will have struggles when I watch others around me do what they want, and never gain a pound.  However, I have made a promise to myself.  It's a promise I can't break.  If I have a slip-up, I just need to focus on the next issue at hand & do it better.  It's all on me.  I can have supports and guidance, but it is all on me.
