Thankful

This morning we all met back at the hospital for our final weighout, Christi and I are excited to find out the results on wednesday, but nomatter what those results are we are all winners for doing this, and to my beautiful wife she is the greatest of all, I am so very proud of her and all she does.
My wife is my hero and I love her very very much. At times she would be stretched so thin between working full time, full time college student, and working out with me for this heart challenge and spending time with our daughter she is just an amazing person and I couldnt have done any of this without her! Thank you babe for all you do and all you are!

Congrats to all of you guys who braved the rain and cold and did the 5k this past weekend, I wish we could have made it.
I also want to thank Traci and all the trainers, especially Riley for puting up with me on my bad days and pushing me to do more.

Thanks to all of you challengers and your hard work these 100 days, Cant wait for wednesday
see you all there!

Coming to an end

Its hard to believe that its almost been 100 days since we all met that cold febuary morning not knowing what was in store for us. I personaly have learned alot about how excersize helps the body function and how to eat better. I really hope I can continue with these new ways and knowledge I have aquired.
I worked out last night with Riley and I am feeling it this morning, those pull ups really work my back and stomach muscles like no other, but its a good thing.
We will be at the race for red on saturday and hopefully we wont be the last to cross the finish line..lol
Good luck to everyone

Slacking on my posting..

Its been a while since i have blogged, so i better get something on here.
This has been an incredible journey and I have learned so much from this class and this experience.
I am a little sad to see it end and i do i hope I get to see all of you around in the future.
I am continuing to work hard at my working out and I am still dropping pounds, not as fast as Id like mind you but they are dropping, It will be interesting to see how my BP and glucose looks
after this challenge compared to when i started.
Riley is still pushing me at my workouts which is a good thing, these trainers are so nice to volunteer thier time for us.. thank you!
Looking forward to the Vorlages BBQ !! Yummm
Keep up the good work everyone, you all look so good!!

ready for the weekend

We had a great workout lastnight at the wellness center and i tried to push myself as hard as i could, I think i did a good job. I am really grateful for Riley traning us, and mixing things up on us . I have also tried really hard to watch what i eat and say " no thank you " when i get offerd goodies but ever once in awhile i cant but i try. I have gotten many compliments on how much better i am looking and that is great! even though i dont see it .... Last week i dropped 4 more pounds and i hope it continues.

Team pink and the Bawdens were also at the gym last night, and they are doing great with their workouts too.

Thanks to my wife for letting me be her partner and showing me i can do this!

Our workout lastnight was the most extreme to-date, we did circuit traning and let me tell you it quickly takes the steam out of you, but it keeps your heart rate up and your definitley burning alot of calories.
I just wanted to say how proud i am of my wife and how great she is doing, she just keeps on going like the energizer bunny! Keep it up babe your doing awsome and looking so good!
hopefully the weather will be better today to take my daughter to the park and walk/jog around the track .
