Vivian Potter, a Painesville resident, wants arms that look like Michelle Obama's as she approaches her 51st birthday. She said the accountability of a public weight loss contest will do her good as she gets on track for a healthier life.

Sept.9

Sept. 9
       I can't believe it's Sept. already! Things will start slowing down for me "finally"!!! Then I can take a little breather!
  I'm still consistant with my workouts daily, and I've slipped a couple of days on my eating, but I made sure my next work out was a little bit more cardio to burn more calories! I'm still at my 30 lb. loss, and I'm hopeful I can lose the other 10 lbs. at least by Dec. that's my goal. 
     All I can tell you is that, if you're thinking of losing weight, do it....Take it day by day, meal by meal. There's no tricks, magic diets, it's eating healthy, staying away from the junk and carbs, watching your portions, and exercising daily!!! Make exercise fun!! I'm still doing Zumba, the new class starts Sat. at Perry. Painesville twp. Park is checking into having a fall Sat. class as well. Those you can walk in at $7 class or bring a friend you each pay $5/class.
    Things are starting to look up for me, I joined my church choir last night...yikes, what have I gotten myself into this time??!!  I've been playing the hand bells for 7-8 yrs. already, and I really enjoy it! I am looking forward to singing. I'm still not very good, but there's a great bunch of people that are willing to help me out!!! Wish me luck, and those that have to sit next to me!!! LOL
         Still trying to figure out how some aspects of my life have changed recently. No apologies ever given, just an "thats the way it's gonna be" attitude. I deserve better in life than to be second best. Now it's time to move forward, and put the past behind me, as I can see it will never change.  It's still sad, but people come in our lives for a reason, season or a lifetime.
    Did I mention that if you want to lose weight, just do it????  Seriously!!! don't look at the big picture, look at now. Cut down your portion size at dinner today, measure out your snacks for tomorrow, and only eat the snacks you measured out! (make it a healthy snack please)!!!  Trust me, if I can do this, so can you! Take it day by day!!!
   Wishing all of you the best, and much success!!!! Give yourself 6 weeks you'll notice a change, I promise!!!
 
Take Care and God Bless,
