Hi! My name is Kayla. I’m 28 years old and my goal is to blog about my weight loss journey and healthier lifestyle change. I am by no means a writer nor wish to be; however, I want to journal about my desire to be a healthier person. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Since I was a child I have always been larger girl and in reality I have always been larger than my family and friends. In college I decided to do the Atkins diet and lost 60 lbs and only kept it off for a year or so. I have done every diet known to man. I can remember my mom always trying to help me out by taking me to a “diet doctor” growing up and trying to help me with my weight problems. I have had my successes but obviously none have been a lifestyle change or I would not be where I am today. I am more than ready to take on the challenge of having a healthier lifestyle the healthy way.

It doesn't hurt to ask, RIGHT?

This month I decided to only buy 15 visits because I am going to be out of town for a week and I thought 4 times a week and 3 times one week to boot camp would be plenty. I was wrong, I am just three days into my boot camp and wanting to do more. I honestly do not dread going to boot camp. This week I have been going at night due to work, being out of town, etc. Yesterday, I asked Whitney about the fusion fitness classes they offer and asked her if they would be good for me. She said specifically that the Boot Camp on the Mat would be especially good for me since it is low impact. Unbenounced to me Niki G offers additional boot camp classes that is included in the unlimited package. I thought the unlimited package only included the boot camp fitness courses. Glad I asked, ha! I plan on going to the Boot Camp on the Mat on Thursday of this week. I will let you know how it goes. You are probably wondering what boot camp on the mat is - per the website it is a yoga boot camp which includes stretching and strengthening to tone and tighten your entire body. This should be interesting, I have never done yoga before. Boot camp on the barre is another fusion class that is offered at Niki G's fitness. This class is a body sculpting workout on the barre. I hope to try it out in the future.

Everyday at boot camp I learn something new. Yesterday when we were doing our cool down I actually listened and comprehended what Whitney was telling the new members (how to breathe, to point your toes a certain way to get a good stretch). It really made a difference! I am sure she said the same thing on my first day but I was so nervous I didn't hear her. Wonder what else I will hear new today??

I have a confession.. I have not been tracking my food like I should. I have still been eating healthy but not tracking like I need to. I have not been drinking enough water.. I have been drinking probably 50 oz and need to drink at least 64 oz. Actually probably more. Also, I have not been able to go to weight watchers the past two weeks. Last week I had a doctors appt and this week I had a meeting that I could not miss. To be honest I am frustrated with my weight. My clothes feel better and people can tell I have lost weight but the scales sure do not show it. I am thinking about using the calorie tracker provided by Niki G. I am going to really do weight watchers and track every bite starting now and see how I do this week. I have always been a really slow loser. I did get on the scale this morning and had lost 1 1/2 LBS from last week. I will continue to keep my head high and not worry about the scale...its the size that matters. RIGHT... :)
