Let me tell you how I feel as of right now writing this entry... UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!! (Yes that deserves profanity). I have never felt so strong and not just physically, but emotionally also. I'm sure my family and friends can say that also. Let me tell you some of the little things that I noticed I missed without realizing I really missed them. The fact that I can wrap a towel all the way around me, I can wear jeans with no muffin top, I can wear my underwear without having them cut into me, I am now wearing my high waisted slacks, I can fit into all my old work clothes, my bras actually fit me, all the shirts in my closet fit me like they are suppose to, I have confidence, I have endurance, I smile everyday, someone tells me I look great everyday, I get to enjoy shopping now....OMG I could seriously keep going. I have never been this happy with myself. I might sound a little selfish or whatever, but I am aloud to be when it comes to my health and happiness. It's not fare to my future self to worry about anyone other than me. You will always have those who don't want you to be successful or accomplish your goals. Who cares! They will be the ones living in their miserable lives. Harsh I know, but coming from a person who was there 11 weeks ago, I changed, you can too.

 Next week will be my 12 week picture. I already see a huge difference from just under a month ago. I can't wait to see how this AB challenge changed my core and I will have an upper body challenge for July. Hope you all will do it with me cause these challenges are so much fun and you really notice a difference.   

I started my book The Jennifer Nicole Lee Fitness Model Diet this week and so far I am loving her outlook on life and fitness. I can't wait to read more and let you all know about it, but it might take me time to read since I really have to force myself to sit down now. 

I wanted to do a shout out to my mommy, who has been my motivator from day one and has been working hard herself! So proud of her and so thankful to have my mom there to push me or pick me up when I have a rough day, or just be willing to drop everything she can to find a time to just go do something active! She is my inspiration for so many things in life and really I am the luckiest daughter in the world! I love you mom and thank you for supporting me in my fitness goals and life goals as well.

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
