Week 1

Even though it has been a hard week with the kids I have made it to the gym every day. I really like my partner. She is amazing. There are a lot of people in this competition. I have been at it for eight days so far and have lost 3 lbs! That’s a good start. Enough to stay motivated. I am trying to stay focused on this competition and make my health a priority. Even though it has been hard with the kids, everyone loves to come to the gym. It gets us out of the house and socializing.
