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!

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
