Im going to try harder and make sure to list the workouts better so yall can understand what pain we go through. This mornings workout was a team work out. As you all know i hate to lose. Even-though my team was last we all are winners (que the violin music, roll credits). My team mates this morning were B. Harmon and Nicole. Nicole was our leader, i know right! Whoever came back first from the 200 meter run was the leader, the little Mexican beat me so she was the leader. I was very proud of her, she did an amazing job and got her stuff done. I'm also very proud of B. Harmon. Many people cant understand B. Harmon because she is a different kind of person. we often say we are alike in many ways and we are. One thing we cant stand is to let someone else have control over us. Its probably one of the hardest things for me to do is let someone else control what im doing. This morning she was tested and passed the test with flying colors. She claims she could not do kettle bell swings, but that bitch did them. She started to get pink in the face, which was my que to step in. I saw her getting angry, and she was 10 seconds away from getting in her car and driving off. The thing about versus is we don't allow any negative talking and the word CANT is never used. She kept saying i cant, and i knew if she kept saying it everybody was going to have to do 10 burpees and we probably would have killed her in the end. She pushed through with encouragement  from Nathan and she did them 30 in total. Brittany im so proud of you. Often times in life we let things conquer us, and they are not supposed to. I almost cried watching her do them because it brought back painful memories from childhood, and i saw little Matthew in her eyes.She was imagining one of the kettle bells swinging over and hitting her. Im sure she never imagined that she could do it, but ole girl did, i cant say it enough how proud i am of her.  My whole life i let food conquer me and control me, it had such a  heavy grasp on my life. Now i know how to conquer it. Im at a point where im so encouraged and so pumped about this working out thing. I have this black blazer hanging on the wall to remind me that all things are possible. I will get into this blazer and i will be wearing it at Melissa's wedding. Ill probably pass out from the heat since its on the beach, but ill have it on with pride. You are in control of your life, what ever you want to do you can do it. When you are in a world of pure imagination the possibilities  are endless. Often times i look at mens magazines and i see all these skinny men in these nice clothes that i want to be wearing. i sit back and i imagine myself in them, and that pushes me forward every morning. I have never been able to walk into a store and just pick out clothes, i always had to go allllllll the way to the back. in the back is the big and tall section, or husky..lol. My goal is to walk into a store and pick out a 2x shirt and be able to wear it. I know it will happen, it gonna be next week, but i can already imagine it.
