Monday Weigh In- Week 9 Complete

I am so happy with this weeks stats! Just goes to show if you stick with your meal plan and work hard you will lose and get strong! 

Week 8:                         Week 9:
Weight= 195 lbs            Weight= 190lbs
Chest= 40"                    Chest= 39.5"
R Arm= 13"                   R Arm= 13"
L Arm = 13"                   L Arm= 13"
Waist= 40.5"                 Waist= 40"
Hips= 43"                      Hips= 42.5"
R Thigh= 26.5"              R Thigh= 26"
L Thigh= 26.5"               L Thigh= 26"

I lost 5 more pounds and a total of 2.5 inches! I hit my 30 pound loss mark! I am so excited to know I am just 20 pounds away from my first big goal! It's crazy! I decided I am going to keep doing this amazing meal plan and plan out this weeks food like I did last week, so I can continue to see the results I have been getting.

This week was so much easier than week 7 or 8. Honestly, I believe it's because I took the thinking out of my food. I mean you should have seen my fridge this last week...thank goodness we have two or else I would have had no room for anything with all the containers I had in there! Even when we went out for someone's birthday dinner this week I was fine cause I didn't have to think all day that day until I ate dinner! I don't know why I didn't start this earlier, but I'm doing it from now on for sure.

I have had so many people think I am crazy or going way too far with this whole "weight loss thing". I mean I get it, when I go out with people now I don't eat or drink what they do, and yes I have My Fitness Pal on my home screen, but seriously, would I be here 30 pounds less if I wasn't doing that? Listen, I don't expect my friends and family and anyone else for that matter to always remember what I am eating or not eating, but I do expect people to respect me when I say no to something. Don't get pissy or judgmental at me for turning down a piece of cake or dressing on my salad. Food is my down fall and people need to respect my decisions just like I respect theirs. I live with an unhealthy eater, but I would never tell him you can't eat that or drink your beer. Who am I to say anything to anybody... Just because I am living the way I am living does not mean you can't live the way you do, all I ask is that in return. My family and close friends are so supportive, and I couldn't be more appreciative of them. I would not be reaching these goals and probably be taking all kinds of tests for diabetes or cholesterol issues. I am happy in my new skin and I would hope some of those people would be happy that I'm happy. If they aren't then they have their own issues to take care of and honestly I just have to know its not my problem. My mom had to remind me the other day that this is for me and only me, and dammit, she is right...AGAIN! Haha! When you are feeling a little defeated just remember that. You have to live in your skin, not the person next to you telling you how or what you should eat. Love yourself first, then people will follow. It feels good to be told I look skinny and wearing a stomach bearing shirt. I would have never thought I would be, but my body is different and shaping differently all because of MY determination! I seriously love you guys and could have not done this without the motivation you all give me! Work hard this week and you will see the same results!

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...

Teaching, Coaching, Learning...OH MY

So lots of things are changing and moving in my life right now. Exciting new adventures and positive learning experiences. I can't even begin to tell you all the rush and excitement I get from teaching group fitness. Right now it is just cycle, but I am so excited to eventually move into more. I love motivating and pushing people in a positive way. After getting into teaching a little bit more, I have decided that fitness is something I am truly passionate about. Who would have thought changing my life last April would have made it THIS amazing! It's more than weight loss now. To see other's get motivated from my accomplishments is so much more. So I truly want to thank you all for supporting me and guiding me through my own journey! I also have even more exciting news...You are looking at your new Beachbody coach! I have been approached SEVERAL times to become a coach, and I was unable to do it because, for me, it just wasn't the right time. Now, for those who have...
