Who Tells you the Truth?

Good Morning,

Its been a long time, i shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to..step to..step..to..LOL. IM BACK BABY! It has been a while since i have blogged. The boot camp at Versus ended about a week ago. I had a total weight loss of 27.4 pounds. I have never felt this way in my life it is an awesome feeling to sit here and feel healthy and looking so darn good. All of the compliments, and encouragement keep me going. On our last workout, i remember driving to the gym with this feeling of calmness. I knew that this was going to be the last time i had to do a burpee! On the last workout the OGMS, and myself gave it our all. We left that building feeling accomplished and ready to conquer the world. In life sometimes there are some things we just dont wanna do, its not that we cant do them, we just dont want to. Ive come to the conclusion that i just dont want to workout anymore..I just dont wanna do it. BUT, i know i have to. I tried to come up with my own workout plan of what i wanted to do. I aint done shit. I went swimming one time, and then my swim coach never showed up at the pool again. LOL. I have thought this over and over again. I hate walking into versus because i know whats going to happen, i hate it with a passion. When i leave on the other hand i feel amazing and so much better. I wanted to start a new chapter in my life, and i think i am. That new chapter is continuing to challenge myself, and to push forward. With that being said ill be returning to Versus next week, for the boot camp. I hate to admit when im worng, or having to go back on my words. Many people in my life told me i would return, and in the words of our beloved Whitney i said " Oh Hell no". I have two goals in mind. The first Im running that mile, my knee wouldn;t let me do it last time, but i could care less about that knee, im running that mile. My second goal is 350 llbs. Right now i have to weigh myself on a digital scale, i feel like a truck being weighed at a weigh station on the highway. I want to be able to get on the scale at the gym, the ones the doctors used when i was little. My friend Melissa is getting married in 8 weeks too, so i will have the chance to lose some weight before her wedding and enjoy a beach weekend. Im ready to do this all over again, its nice be back on a schedule. I do think with my diet im going to try to incorporate some new lunch ideas, and things to eat for dinner.  Im going to weigh on Friday mornings, and my new cheat day will be Sunday. So if you see me eating on Sunday im gonna eat whatever i want to, so dont be tripping. It seems like i have it all figured out we will see what happens. Oprah always asks the one question to everyone she interviews. Her question is always " Who tells you the Truth?" Its hard to find people who will actually tell you the truth. People are afraid of the truth it scares them. Peoples feeling get hurt when they hear the truth. No matter how big and bad you are when you hear the truth, it hurts. I have heard the truth. My mom always tells me the truth, never holds back, she may slowly walk into it, and guide you to it, but she is going to tell me the truth. I had a conversation with her on the last day of boot camp. I called her and i said " Mama guess how much weight i lost?" She started to calculate, and i can just picture her sitting in her breakfast nook, using her fingers, and looking towards the sky in the way she does. Her guess was wrong but she said the most powerful words to me. she said " Well i need to see you before you start eating again" that was her way of telling me the truth LOL. she cracks me up. When i was little i would always get into trouble, i got into more trouble because i was a horrible liar, still am, LOL. But she could see right through me, she said when i would lie, i would always tilt my head as if i was thinking, are they believing this. lol. I have heard the truth from so many people, and i want to thank them. Im ready to start this journey back again. My suggestion is that you surround yourself with people who will tell you the truth. You will find those people with this simple action. If you ask them a question, and their answer makes you silent for a split second, thats the truth.
