Remember I only have week 4 measurements I will forever regret not doing them day 1! I am halfway to my goal of 50 lbs though! I am going to be so strict on my food and exercise this month it's not even funny! Yesterday I decided to prepare my food for the week. This was the craziest experience ever, because I have never done that and I did not realize how much work it was, but I'm so glad I did it cause now I don't have to spend time thinking about what I'm eating everyday. I am following my JNL food plan this next month, and she has some yummy recipes that I am trying. I did some of my own substitutions so it took me longer because I had to recalculate calories. This morning I cooked a frittata and had strawberries BEFORE going to work this morning. They say you are suppose to eat within an hour after waking up and I did! Felt so good and I feel like I had time to enjoy myself in the morning! Also woke up to JNL herself saying I won her new book The Jennifer Nicole Lee Fitness Model Diet, and she started following me on Intagram. I'm sorry, but that is so cool to me! 

It's getting harder with the warmer weather lately, because really the only thing I want to do is lay out in the sun with an ice cold beer in my hand. Not yet! I need to earn it again. So I will be putting that on hold for a bit... Well the drinking part, but you can't take the sun from me. I need to be focused because there will be temptations all the time and I have to remember this is about me! So when I get offered a drink or something sweet I WILL BE SAYING NO! Hey, I am still a good time without the alcohol trust me! 

Along with my new diet plan, I am also focusing on a special body part for the month of June... My ABS! I need to slim this waist/ belly down so I can get in that bikini without hesitation! I will be doing my own AB challenge this month (starting today). I really want some of you (or all of you) to join me! It will be a hoot!!! So you will want to do 3 sets of 30 seconds....

Before & Afters... Amazeballs

So my weigh in this week is still the same at 172. I did lose 1/2 in in each leg, but that's about it this week. I would like to think that my muscle mass is what's taking over, but I really don't know. I feel thinner each week, and really that's all that matters! Not to mention I finally reached my size 10 jeans! Which brings me to this blog... I know once a month you get to see my body transform, but I wanted to see how different my body looked in some of my old clothes. OH EM GEE this was so much fun! December 2011:   Dress size 14/16 You can't even tell in this after photo, but all that fabric in the stomach has about 2 inches from it to my belly. It also make me look like I have NO BOOBS at all! August 2012:  Dress size 12 I look like a sausage stuffed in that dress! GAH! Look how much longer it is on me now. (Way more appropriate) I even have to take this in just a tad in the chest. I love this dress so much more now than looking back! Wedding Day 2012:  Dress...

You do you, and I'll do me

I read a post the other day that triggered anger in me. It could have been because I read it right after I posted my last entry about all the wonderful things I am doing to get happy, healthy, and fit again...It could have been because I didn't completely agree with everything this person said, I don't know. Let me clarify, it was not about me. It was strictly an opinion of someones. You can ask anyone of my friends and family, I really value people's opinions and most of the time if I don't agree I usually am answering with a simple, "OK" along with a half smile and change of subject. (Now you know my secret, Ha!) I hate confrontation or arguing opinions because those are someones true beliefs and when you truly believe something why go round and round with them to get nowhere! I don't have time for that. I'll let you say your peace and I will say mine, if we don't agree, we move on. It's simple. But here is my peace... Four years ago ...
