Week 20 Weigh In- Over the Hill

20 Weeks... it took me 20 weeks to get "Over the Hill"! Yes I am proud to say that I hit -50 lbs today! I finally reached a goal! It is an amazing feeling. Here's a little reminder of what 220 pounds looked like on me verses my new and improved 170 pound body.
My stats are even more incredible. So week 4 is when I started logging my inches:


Week 4:                         Week 20:
Weight= 204lbs            Weight= 170lbs       -34 lbs
Chest= 42.5"                Chest= 26.5".          -16 in
R Arm= 13.5"                R Arm= 12"             -1.5 in
L Arm = 13.5"                L Arm= 12"             -1.5 in
Belly/Waist= 44.5"       Belly/Waist= 37.5"     -7 in
Hips= 44"                      Hips= 40.5"             -3.5 in 
R Thigh= 27 3/4"           R Thigh= 24.5"        -3.25 in 
L Thigh= 27"                  L Thigh= 24"            -3 in

Total inches lost equals 35.75! Oh my god! You have no idea what this means to me to have accomplished such a huge goal and how much my life has changed! I am confident and feel good all the time! I went from a size 14 to a size 10, a size 40 DDD to a 34 DDD, and a size XL to a M shirt. I worked my ass off and sure as shit going to keep it going! So what does this mean now? NEW GOALS! I just know I have more fat to lose so I am going to work on small weight loss goals now. First goal "over the hill" will be 5 lbs this month. I know I know it seems like that's such a small goal but I have way more muscle now and it's getting harder to actually lose weight. I am working on toning more than anything, but I know I've got 5 more to get rid of on my belly or thighs! Haha! I seriously love you all and thank you so much for being so supportive! Work hard this week! Remember that just getting up and moving is an amazing improvement to your health!

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 acc...
