Monday Weigh In- Week 14 Complete

This morning I saw a 7... Right next to the 1. Yep I am on on my way to stealing home now! I am 179 as of today which means I have nine more, yes I said NINE more pounds until I reach my long term goal of 50 pounds! It is so close I can taste it! I'm not posting my stats cause I really haven't lost any inches this week, but I still feel great and people are noticing which is totally crazy! In fact, I had two people at my gym come up to me last week, never met them before in my life, and tell me that I look great and to keep up the great work! It really makes you feel damn amazing when people you don't know notice you and your hard work!

I have never been proud of myself for accomplishing something like this. I know I probably repeat my self a lot, but every week, even day, I am proud of my accomplishments! I am no longer in my dark depressing hole with my negative thoughts and hatred. I am no longer giving myself excuses to not be at the gym. I am no longer stress eating or emotional eating my way through the evening. I feel like I can see myself in the future again. I can picture what my body could be verses getting discouraged and feeling like I will always be overweight. I am no longer self conscious when I wear a tank top or short shorts. I LOVE CLOTHES again! (I'm sure my husband will just love that) I am just loving every bit of this and the way I feel now. I really strongly encourage you to just do it! It sucks at first but worth it for the rest of your life! It doesn't matter if you aren't fast enough, or strong enough, or how heavy you lift. It matters that you just got off that stupid couch and MOVED! That's the first step! I love you all and thank you everyone for all your support! You all are the ones who keep me going!

    Oh Ashley,
    you are an amazing woman. I am super proud of you. One of the hardest things to change in life is a bad habit, no matter what that habit it. You have not only changed many bad habits, but your reaping the rewards and encouraging others. I truly love you with all my heart. Keep up the fight girl. It does feel good to get off that couch and MOVE!!! And your, my sweet one, are doing way more than moving.

    Love,
    Cherine

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 ...
