 So I am not brave enough to show more skin than is present and I admire those of y’all that did. I have dieted soooo long and finally reached my goal summer of last year. So I have taken some time off:( I had people tell me I was too thin and it was messing with my mental state. I have never been a ‘skinny’ person. I was always curvy and thicker. I think my identity was wrapped up in this image. I think others around me felt the same way. So when they started saying things I started eating again. I also had work schedule changes and never got back into good habits. I love good food and spirits but my weekend was running into my week. Until a month ago I didn’t feel that bad in clothes, but things have changed. It is time to get my sh*t together. I planned on doing this in January like everyone else in America, but now will do! I have needed this. I am currently 126.2 and my goal end of February is to be 116. I am going to eat less carbs and sugar. I am going to drink less and go to bed by 10:30. I plan to work out 5 days a week, high intensity and interval training. No more excuses! I will try to keep other’s opinions out of my head and strive for what makes ME happy. I want to be cut again and feel good.

Well, this has been quite a journey. When I re-read my before story I am surprised at how far I have come. I was struggling. I was usually a 3 day dieter and then a crasher. I craved sugar so much.  I was a slow starter in the mornings so workouts only happened on days I didn’t work, which was 2 days and the weekend (which I wanted to lay in bed and by lazy with my family). I found a product called Thrive and WOW. I was able to easiley get up and work out high intensity 6 days a week since the beginning of December. The habit of the product, fit with a quick, effective work out and I felt momentum. It helps curb sugar cravings and gave me great energy. It became like breathing. And on my ‘rest’ day I was a little bummed lol. I really have never committed to a challenge like this because of fear of not changing/giving up, but man I wanted to go to San Diego! Anytime we were out with friends social eating and drinking my choices changed significantly! Burgers and fries were easily change to meat and veggies. (They make them better than I do anyways). I wasn’t perfect, but this was the most consistent I have ever been and it was because I knew there was an after picture that I had to show. I am so thankful for this group and for challenging me to show up and be a better me!
