Monday Weigh In- Week 7 Complete

Well here are my stats for this last week. Let me tell you, as much as I say the scale is just part of the process it got a little discouraging not seeing that it went down.

Week 6: Week 7:

Weight= 199lbs Weight= 199lbs

Chest= 41" Chest= 41"

R Arm= 14" R Arm= 13"

L Arm = 13.5" L Arm= 13.5"

Waist= 42" Waist= 40.5"

Hips= 43" Hips=43"

R Thigh= 26.5" R Thigh=26.5"

L Thigh= 26.5" L Thigh=26"

This was a tough week for me. This weekend was a blast but its where I fell apart. Remember in my week 4 weigh in when I said that I would go into binging habits if "I just had one". Well that's exactly what happened. Yep, one red vine turned into five with 4 handfuls of popcorn! You all might think I'm crazy for feeling this way, but with that came bloating, gas, not sleeping, and feeling dehydrated. I had no energy to do shit after my night of drinking Saturday, not cause of a hangover, but because when I drink, I eat. I tell people this time and time again... You know what your body needs in order to achieve the goals you set for yourself. My ultimate goal is not achieved yet that means I need to forget about what happened this weekend and get BACK ON TRACK! No more peer pressure, no more sweets! I'm really glad I have my followers to support me through all this! You are all simply amazing.

Next week is my week 8 pictures. Excited to show you all my transforming body. Week 9 I will be starting my 30 day ab challenge. If you all have some great ab toning exercises let me know, I would love to know some of your faves!

Fitness Friday- Squat Challenge Results

So some of you knew that I was doing a 30 day squat challenge... Well I finally completed the challenge and have my before and after. Still have a ways to go but holy cow there is a major difference. (Excuse my photography skills. My husband was sleeping and just decided to take them on my own.) I love SEEING my body transform! I really encourage people to take photos of them selves, although it may be gross or embarrassing at first, it is an amazing motivater and when you do start feeling discouraged you can take another photo to help you see that you really have transformed. Remember, the scale is only a small indicator of your success! How you feel, and how your clothes fit is the most important. Here is the challenge I did in case you want to do your own squat challenge! Enjoy! I know I did. I even may do it again! -Ash

1 Year of Hard Work = The Real Me Reborn

One year ago today marked the first day of finding me again. One year ago I was depressed, miserable, lazy, unhappy, overweight, and lonely. One year ago today, I weighed 220lbs. I can't even begin to tell you how much of me has changed physically and emotionally. When I decided to take this life long journey to be fit and happy, I never in a million years would have thought this would be fun and exciting. Most people may think I am crazy, and I would say they are very correct! I am crazy about having energy again, crazy for being able to feel good in my clothes again, crazy that I can now run, walk, lift, hike, or any other activity WITHOUT hurting. Yep, I would say I am crazy if that is what crazy is to the average person. Throughout this last year I have accomplished so many goals! I have never made a huge goal and accomplished it until this journey. I lost 50 pounds within the first 4 months and have kept it off, plus have lost even more. Crazy what you can accomplish wh
