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!

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 acc...
