It has been a LONG time, and when I say LONG time I REALLY MEAN LONG TIME, since I was 146 lbs.......When I saw that weight on the scale I couldn't BELIEVE my eyes. I literally weighed myself 3 times to make sure that damn thing was right.......I got so excited I measured myself, and so far I've lost 1" (hoping I'm doing it right) in every area of my bust/waist/hips. This in itself has been my motivation. Once I reach my goal I may push to get to 130 lbs & call it a day......Thanks for reading & sharing this moment w/ me!
XOXO

*sigh* I know I know it's been a while......
Ok ok so I know I haven't been on this in quite a while, & some of you may think oh Thank God! Or may just flat out not care. The truth is I'm somewhat of a writer but not the type that can just write when someone tells me to. If I'm gonna say something it's gonna be at the right time when I get that "feeling" in order to be somewhat relatable (word?). Honestly? All except 2 days in the past 2 weeks, I have been working out & for the most part eating right. I'm FINALLY starting to see results. I didn't want to say anything & jinx it, and scare off the lil working out bug. I'm actually for once really proud of myself for even just taking off the weight & KEEPING it off consistently. I've never been able to do that! It's actually pretty amazing how you feel when you eat right & you don't eat junk regularly. I've lost 17 lbs & counting, and my goal is for 8 more before the wedding. I THINK I can do it so let's hope bc I only have 2 1/2 months to go before the big day!

Let me start by saying I'm a lil nervous. I've never put myself out there like this, but here I am full force. 2012 was by far the BEST year of my life & I'm not sure 2013 is going to be able to top it, maybe come EXTREMELY close, but that's about it. We started the year off with an AMAZINGLY UNFORGETTABLE vacay in the Bahamas for my big 3-0 & let me tell ya, it was the BEST first out of the country experience so far :) Ryan and I bought a house, got custody of my lil man back & of course May 6th became engaged. I'm so lucky I can't even say it enough.
This year is going to bring new beginnings as well. Our wedding, learning to become a full time family of 3, and hopefully if it's in God's plan become a family of 4 before too long.
Let me get to my point.......
I've struggled w/ weight my WHOLE life. The fluctuating, the bad relationship with food, the insecurity & the all around #feelingsorrymakingexcusesallthedamntime, that it FINALLY just got flat out exhausting.....I mean who REALLY wants to live life like that?!?! I had a major reality check last year. I'm not really sure what it was that woke me up to be honest. It could have been getting a house & going from working full-time to not at all, maybe it was keeping up with a 10year old, coulda been my grandpa passing and making me realize life is WAY too short, or it could have been my mother in law losing 20lbs by following a strict diet that triggered a light bulb in my head to kick me in the butt to tell me "HEY! If she can do it so can you!". Either way I decided I NEEDED a change.....I ended 2012 having FINALLY lost 13 lbs & I've managed to semi keep it off. I still fluctuate a couple LB's here & there but I've managed to stay under 155lbs. This is the LOWEST I've been since 2007 when I weighed 140 but was eating like crap & running a tool rental center. Let me tell ya, I FEEL GOOD. My goal now is to get BACK to 140 lbs but the HEALTHY way. Before, I wasn't doing it the healthy way. I was living off 3 LARGE Full Throttles (not the sugar free mind you) A DAY, sometimes a Venti Starbucks, with SODA, COFFEE & every other BAD thing to keep me going. It's a wonder I didn't have a heart attack at a young age.
NO MORE! I've been using my fitnesspal app on my phone again, not ALL the time but I'm WAY more consistent than I was, and A LOT more health conscious. I'm making dinner every night, TRYING to eat breakfast every morning bc the health officials tell me to, & NOW I'm ready to start my work out routine. My goal for 2012 was to get to a size 7. Well I ALMOST got to that goal. Right now I'm @ a 8/10 so I'm almost there. Anyone who knows me, knows I hate to work out! I hate everything about it. The repetition, the long time it takes to do it, sweating, UGH! I cringe just thinking about it! Well today a light bulb went off. Pinterest is a beautiful/magical/wonderful thing. With all those skinny bitches showing "you can do it!", well yeah when you're already that thin of course you think that! But I realized, obviously they had to get there from somewhere. Some even have the same issues w/ working out that I do. I decided I'm going to take a calendar, write on each day each area I want to focus on for that day & start working my butt off. (LITERALLY!) I figure I can do that for 10min/day while keeping everything worked out at the same time so I'm not muscle woman w/ huge arms, skinny legs & 6 pack abs...OK I'm serious! I'm gonna do it so help me God so when I put on that wedding dress I'm gonna wear it proud!!!
Thank you for reading my first blog ever.......Hopefully I'll actually put the time & effort into this everyday & share w/ you my thoughts/crushings/blood/sweat/tears of working out with you on a consistent basis...
Until next time...XOXO
