I hope everyone had a great holiday! I know I did. I started off my week with a beautiful bike ride with my hubby on the Northbank Path and midway stopped for some FroYo. We then hit the Southbank Path to head home making Monday nights ride 15 miles.

My mom and little brother brought over their bikes on the 4th and we all went for a ride to my other brother's house to enjoy some pool time. (After this ride we needed it) If you ever need an excuse to love Oregon, do this ride. We took the Northbank Path all the way to the Eastbank Path, and it was beautiful. I am not one to be on my phone while riding my bike, so I didn't take pictures but trust me... Well worth it! I only have one way on this map but it came out to about 20 miles.

Then on Saturday I did another ride to my brother's house with one of my best friends. I took her on the Northbank, then Eastbank, and Southbank Path making our ride just a half mile under 20. Such a beautiful week this week to ride.

I was thinking about how many calories I burn in a week. I know how many I burn daily, but I never looked at it in a big number before. After this week in just exercising that I have logged, I burned 6,744 calories Monday through Sunday! That is crazy! I love every minute of it too! No more lazy Ashley that is 100% true! In fact as of this month this girl has no more cable TV. (That's right I said it). I never have time to watch it anymore and Hulu takes care of my "must need to see TV". I am proud of myself! Getting up off the couch was the first step to a new me and look I am just 13 lbs away from a 50lbs lighter me! Hope you all have a fit and healthy week! Stay positive and work hard!

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
