Fitness Friday

After I had Miss Emma, I had 50lbs to lose and another 20lbs that had crept up on me in the process of getting pregnant ( I was afraid my exercising was impeding me getting pregnant.....crazy lady!).  Even while I was pregnant I was scoping out a trainer at the gym that I wanted to work with once I was given the green light to work out.  Hooking up with Di was the best thing I could have done.  Not only did she totally kick my rear in gear but she introduced me to the world of competitions.  She was always having some sort of competition at the gym from fitting into your skinny jeans to maintain over the holidays to bikini body.  Each one had a weekly weigh-in and prizes.  This was awesome motivation with the perfect amount of fear....like fear of stepping on the scale and admitting to her about that giant slice of cake!!  With her help....and fear....I lost the 70lbs even with the INSANE schedule I had!  She has now opened her own studio and to anyone living in the North Shore of Massachusetts....click below and do yourself a favor and check it out!!

Since we  moved I have been missing that piece of the gym life.  Anyone looking for motivation should look into some type of competition at the gym or even at work.  Don't have one in place???  Start one!!  One challenge that I am always excited to see is the Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge run by Amanda at Run to the Finish. 

Sign up today and keep yourself going all through the holidays!!!  Are you a challenge person?  What keeps you motivated through the year???
