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"                        36.5"                                                  32"
Hips=          -3"                             46"                                                     43"
Bust=          -2"                            43"                                                     41"
R. Thigh=   -1.5"                      27.5"                                                   26"
L. Thigh=   -1.5"                      27.5"                                                   26"
R. Bicep=   -2"                          14"                                                      12"
L. Bicep=   -2"                          14"                                                      12"




You really want to know what's even better than numbers? My confidence! I LOVE myself again. I have more energy to play with my son, or take him on a hike, or just go somewhere. I am feeling like myself again, and let me tell you it feels so much better than numbers on a scale. Don't get me wrong, there is still a goal in mind, and it's getting a little bit closer every week. I have 25 more lbs to lose to be where I was before Brayden and 15 more weeks to achieve it! I'm not afraid to pat myself on the back, not afraid to say "I will fail", but I will get right back up and start fresh the next day! This is a life change, not a fad. This is what works for me and I am having fun and using food as fuel NOT a crutch for my emotions. Thank you God for giving me the strength to get out of the hole I was in. I am pretty sure my friends and family appreciate it too...HaHa!

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...

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!
