HIS Radio

My name is Nicole Bowden and I am 24 years old. I have struggled with my weight my whole entire life. I have been on diet after diet. I got married about a little over a year ago and I lost 30 pounds before my wedding but I have put it back on.

I tend to be an emotional eater. I had a miscarriage in June of 2009 and God has brought me through that but I just haven’t been able to get my body back in shape.

My ambition is lacking. I need to lose about 100 pounds and I need help. I hope that you choose me.

Thanks so much!

I have had an awesome week.

 Monday, I went to the Y to set up my appointment with the activate coach. They re-weighed me and I am 257. I was unable to meet with my activate coach on Monday, so I worked out at home. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I really had a hard time getting motivated Monday, especially with my diet.

Tuesday, I had a my first appointment with my activate coach, Clarissa. Was I ever in for a shock. She was so nice but she was tough! She has me doing 60 minutes of cardio a day for six days a week and strength training every other day. I was blown away. I thought my little 30 minutes was good. haha. She also has me keeping my heart rate between 151-163 bpm. It went really good. I was extremely sore when I got finished, but I did all my 60 minutes of cardio and my strength training. My diet went much better today.

Wednesday I went to the gym and did my 60 minutes of cardio. I tried to be active all day long. My diet went well today. I have made grilled chicken for snacks. I try not to eat any carbs at night so, if I get hungry, I willl have a piece of grilled chicken tenders.

Thursday I went to the gym and did 60 minutes of cardio and my strength training. I was really sore that day. I did 60 minutes on the elliptical. My diet went well.

Friday I have been to the gym this morning. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and 40 minutes on the stationary bike. It was really hard getting myself motivated at the gym today, but I am proud to say that I finished it.
