Hey everybody! Sometimes you cannot post your feelings in 140 characters or less so here it goes. The first 15 days of the challenge have been amazing. I have lost weight. About 6 pounds as of this writing. That is after my first full week at the gym. 6 Pounds in one week. Not bad.

I am eating less and still getting full and feel healthier and strong. Anytime Fitness, Nutrex-Hawaii and Susan Smith Jones have been amazing!

If you  haven't heard our 3-part audio series based on Susan Smith Jones' hit book "Walking on Air: Your 30-Day Inside and Out Rejuvenation Makeover", I sure hope you do. There is even a special offer just for YOU.

To be honest I doubted myself. I made a promise to you the Troy Show audience and to myself. I wasn't sure I would stick to it. I have and I am actually doing ok. Both are shockers to me.

I did this challenge for myself. I wanted to feel better about myself. I graduate college this year. I always say that if you do things for other people you can't be successful. Your support has meant the world.

I am training 3 days a week doing cardio and weight training with our tremendous partner Anytime Fitness! Our cameras literally showed the first time I walked into a gym, and it will air worldwide.. It's crazy.

The first time I left the Gym, my legs hurt so bad! Now, I look forward to going to the gym. Not to brag but the weights are the easiest part. Its the damn stretching that is a pain in the you know what. I am so use to sitting behind a desk, or on a stage talking.

It wasn't all pretty as you will see on The Troy Show Reality Special coming this May. The camera caught some of my most intimate moments.

I posted on Facebook how I regretted letting the cameras into my life so much. You'll see why this May.

The next 15 days are the beginning of a new life for me. I look forward to what ensues.
