So I have been doing really well on my carb intake and I am getting closer to my goal and 1st vacation.. I need to step it up a notch so I joined a 30 day challenge called "30 day Shred". Its a 30 min workout by Jillian.. I am only doing 20 minutes as per the challenge.. So here goes..

Hi Alex!

"Trying" is an excuse asking to happen.
In order to be successful at ANYTHING worth achieving, you MUST succeed in your own mind first!
Allow no other option in your mind, and you WILL succeed!!!

Have you ever listened closely to Olympian or professional athletes?
When discussing an upcoming challenge, they talk of it as though they've already won.
Why?... They know that if they allow any room for doubt, they know they will be challenged by two opponents. (1) The challenge itself and (2) their non-winning attitude!!!

You've already won this if you don't become your own worst opponent.

GO ALEX!!!... You've already won this! Don't cheat yourself out of it!

[Alex Cruz]

Well said Tony..   You are right... I got this!!!!   I bought my scale today at Walmart.. They had yours there but only one box... I didnt take it because it was obviosu that it was a return and I didnt want to gamble.. I also saw a WW one but that same thing..  I am pretty happy with the one I got...

You are doing great Alex 35 pounds is alot of weight!How is your daughter doing??

[Alex Cruz]

I see the difference in her Umpa.. She had a couple of moments, but doing well.. Today I am going to get her a gym membership that can done month to month so I am not committed otherwise.. I try not to put pressures on her since it can be difficult;t for teenagers and it has worked so far.

Thanks for asking..

Hi Alex!

You've done a fabulous favor for your daughter through leading by example.

I would suggest that the two of you do the gym thing together... making it a mother/daughter event.
She will much more likely stick with it if you are right there working with her.

[Alex Cruz]

Hi Tony,

I would like that, but my schedule is too hectic.. On top of that, she is very particular.. This gym is actually one that she can walk too from her school and then to her grandparents house right after school...

[mouseissue]

Hi Alex!

I understand.
I wish her (and you) the best success!

[umpa]

You are giving her the gift of confidence Alex! You are a very good mom!

[Alex Cruz]

Thanks everyone.. She has been doing really well...
