27 Will Be My Golden Year!

One year ago I was so excited to celebrate my 26th birthday. I was throwing a murder mystery party that took place in the 1920s. The next morning I got the pictures back from my friend and it was those pictures that made me realize I was fat. I still didn't want to do anything about it quite yet, and I just continued to get more and more depressed until I decided to change my life last April. It took me 4 months to change, but I did and am so happy I did. These pictures of me are night and day.

This was me turning 26 and roughly 220 lbs!

This is one year later at 27 and 170 lbs!

I am just so happy at the success I've had and how happy I have truly become. I spent my birthday with my closest friends and had wonderful sushi and lots of drinks, but I know come tomorrow I'm back on the road to success. Anyone, I repeat, ANYONE can have this success! I still have a ways to go, but man I am loving this feeling already. 27 will be the best year ever!

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...

Tasty Tuesday- My Food for the Week

So this month I decided to try JNL Fusions Meal Plan, and so far I am loving the meals! So I decided to alternate between 2 breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners. That way my budget was low and preparing my meals for the week was a lot easier. My diet is based on a 1300 calorie diet, and these meals are for 1 serving. I thought I would share this weeks recipes with you, hope you try and enjoy like I am. I have numbered them so you know all the #1's match and all the #2's match what I'm eating for each day. Breakfast #1-Frittata Ingredients - 5 large egg whites - 1 cup almond milk - 3/4 oz Parmesan, grated - 1 medium zucchini - 1/4 cup sweet bell peppers - 2 tbsp onion, chopped - 1 cup strawberries on side Directions: In a medium bowl beat eggs and milk. Add cheese, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. Mix well. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add egg mixture and cook for 5 minutes, then finish cooking in the oven on like 450. Have your strawberries on the side! ...
