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 when you just put your mind to it and make it part of your life.

So here is my transformation Tuesday stats 1 whole year later:


1 Year Ago:                Today:
Weight= 220lbs            Weight= 163lbs
Chest= 42.5"                Chest= 37"
R Arm= 13.5"                R Arm= 11.5"
L Arm = 13.5"                L Arm= 11.5"
Waist= 44.5"                 Waist= 29"
Hips= 44"                      Hips= 40"
R Thigh= 27 3/4"           R Thigh= 24"
L Thigh= 27"                  L Thigh= 24"


I have lost 57 pounds and 35.75 inches in 365 days! Holy shit that is incredible! I never thought I could be where I am today and believe me when I say I still have some goals to reach, but I am so proud of myself and am so incredibly happy to be fit and healthy!

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
