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"              ...

Easy Chicken Salad

If you really want an easy dinner.. Nothing is easier than a chicken salad! Especially when Costco makes already cooked grilled chicken strips! I really hope I don't have to show or really tell you how to make this salad....but I'll tell u what I have on mine: 4 c. Baby spinach Less than 1 c. Iceberg lettuce 4 grape tomatoes 1/3 c. Cucumber 2 mini bell peppers 1 hard boiled egg 3oz of the chicken 265 calories w/o dressing...but here's a tip that I love!!!! Always have your dressing on the side, dip your fork in your dressing and then get a huge bite of veggies! It really does cut the dressing back to where you are only eating what's necessary! It's the only way I eat salad now! Let me know how you like it! Goodnight lovelies!
