Weight Loss Journey 2011-2012 Part 3

It’s November 2012 and my reflective journey begins          
I know it’s time for me to dig deeper within          
         
Myself and address a few more things          
Like a proper view of self and beauty that life brings          
         
My gym schedule is still solid and very much in tact          
There’s no way I can repeat prior habits and go back          
         
To medicines because I refuse to remove myself from the table          
Success involves commitment and a mindset that is stable          
         
My place of employment offer $ incentives for a healthy lifestyle          
I take full advantage of this program and do it with a smile          
         
Having a trainer for a bit was a great boost for me          
In August 2012 I put on a pair of size 12 jeans          
         
Now half my size and shed another person literally          
Spryer, more robust and have so much energy          
         
Weightlifting and running a 5k race are my next fitness goals          
Not only to be healthy, but watch my beautiful girls grow          
         
Up and perhaps be a grandmother someday, after all, I set the tone          
as they will follow the path I set now and when they are grown          
         
I am honored to be a work place ambassador to motivate others to shed weight    
regardless of how old or the pounds to lose, it is never too late    
   
   
Make no mistake this road has been difficult and full of lows and some highs   
There were days I was overjoyed and there are days I would just cry    
     
Losing the weight is easy, maintaining is the undaunting task          
I have come too far to turn back now, I will keep enduring this with class
