Diary of a fat Girl.....Gone Mom?

Oh my goodness! I can't believe I am back on here writing again. I am so excited (and a little nervous) about sharing my goals, struggles and accomplishments with you. 

So as you can see now from my last post in 2015, I am a mommy. So yes, Brayden is 3 now! I can't even begin to tell you how crazy these 3 years have been for us, but I will save that for a different post because I want to just keep this post brief. 

I decided to get back on here and write because, well, I'm fat and honestly it's what kept me motivated before I had Brayden. Now, some of you new to this page might think, "Oh my gosh, she isn't fat." or "Ashley, seriously????" I am here to tell you newbies that you are right, I'm not "FAT", but in my mind, I feel that way. This is not a pity party for my mental beliefs. This is a "get up and kick some ass again girl!" moment for me. So I kept the name "Diary of a Fat Girl" because I still feel like that girl. I'll get past past it, but I truly believe every woman always struggles with her inner fat girl. 

My goal is to write on here at least once a week. This isn't just about my fitness anymore. Back when I first started this I was married to someone who put me last and all I had was fitness. Today, I am a single, working mom, with a very strong willed 3 year old boy. Finding time to work on myself in this house seems like waiting for the day I win the lottery.....when I don't play the lottery. So here I am writing about the good, the bad and the ugly. I love you all and have to say without my friends or family, I would be miserable, so again thank you!

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...

9 Week Update

It really is amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. The last 9 weeks I have changed my eating habits, portion sizes, and added more time to work out in my schedule. I made it a priority and this is what has come of it so far...                                                       Week 1                                              Week 9 Weight=      -19 lbs                   207                                                   188 Waist=        -4.5"              ...

Teaching, Coaching, Learning...OH MY

So lots of things are changing and moving in my life right now. Exciting new adventures and positive learning experiences. I can't even begin to tell you all the rush and excitement I get from teaching group fitness. Right now it is just cycle, but I am so excited to eventually move into more. I love motivating and pushing people in a positive way. After getting into teaching a little bit more, I have decided that fitness is something I am truly passionate about. Who would have thought changing my life last April would have made it THIS amazing! It's more than weight loss now. To see other's get motivated from my accomplishments is so much more. So I truly want to thank you all for supporting me and guiding me through my own journey! I also have even more exciting news...You are looking at your new Beachbody coach! I have been approached SEVERAL times to become a coach, and I was unable to do it because, for me, it just wasn't the right time. Now, for those who have...
