Weigh In!

Heyyy!

It's Wednesday, and you know what this means! Weigh in!

Since last week I have lost 1.4 lbs! My loss is 21.4 lbs. :) 

I am so excited! Only 15.4 to go, and I am going to knock it off fastttt. Or so I hope...

So, this past weekend we went to Alabama for Easter! I love my home town so much. I miss my family all the time. We had a great time seeing family! 

On the way down to AL

I got my belly button pierced too! It was my -20lb reward, and it was AWESOME!

Belly Button! Pierced by Silas Carroll @ Aces and Eights tattoo!

I love it. It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, but boy does it itch now! I am supposed to clean it 5x a day, and even on the trip home I stopped and washed it a ton.

We had some sleeeepy pups on the way back and the first day back in VA. They were so worn out but they LOVED seeing their puppy frans at grandma's house. :) 

So, I'm gonna finish this& hopefully I will blog again before next Wednesday!

Sweepy boys!

that's all I have for now, when I get more pics sent from fam I'll upload! :)

HOLLLAAAAA

Who has lost TWENTY POUNDS AND HAS TWO THUMBS?

This girl. Right here.

I have lost .8 lbs since my last entry meaning I have lost TWENTY POUNDS EXACTLY.

Words cannot express the happiness I feel!

I have 18 pounds to go and I am at my goal! What up! I am so happy. So so happy!

Hard work pays off!

So, this weekend my husband and I are going to Alabama for Easter and I am very excited! My dad really wanted us to come celebrate Easter at his house, so we decided to take a mini vaca and go to Bama! We will only be there for a few days, and we have really only made time for family, so please don't be upset if we can't see you! We will be back in June, and for a little longer so that will be more time to see everyone! I have a job interview tomorrow right before we leave too! Pray that I get it, because I for reals need a job. Being a stay at home wife is fun, but not for me, haha. I need a job!

I am bringing my TF with me to AL and I will keep up with that, and try to run with B while we are there, but we will have no gym access. :( So, let's pray these lbs stay off while we're there!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Wednesday Weight

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It's the middle of the week, yay!

So, I have lost 1.8 pounds since last week, which brings my total loss to 19.2 LBS! Hay girl hay!

I am halfway! 19 was my halfway mark!

I am anxiously waiting this 20 lb mark,  because I want my second reward! I changed it, and am getting my belly button pierced instead! What up! I have always wanted it done, and I am finally going to do it. Self confidence is a beautiful thing. :)

I'm not going to post a long entry today, just wanted to update you on my loss :)

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Obviously I have no filter...

I'm about to do a hardcore rant.

I have worked very VERY hard to be where I am at right now.

None of it was easy at first. I miss certain foods, and sometimes I am complaining in my head the entire time I am working out. My body is always sore. I am exhausted by 8pm and ready to go to bed. I usually have to shower twice a day which makes my skin dry and itchy and no amount of lotion is a savior for that. I don't do some things I want to do because I make time to go to the gym and work out.

BUT YA KNOW WHAT?

 

It's ALL worth it. It's easier now to avoid nasty food and pick up something healthy to snack on. I feel amazing after I work out and I'm tired and sweaty because I know that I just kicked my body's ass, and am on my way to a healthier me. One day I won't have to work AS hard (still will work, though) to be healthy, thin, fit, whatever you want to call it. I am working my way to a healthier me, and even though sometimes it REALLY REALLY sucks, it doesn't matter. It's something that I REALLY wanted and I worked for it. I didn't take a pill, or starve myself. I learned healthy eating habits, and got active. I owe that to myself, my husband, my future kids and the rest of my family. I owe it to myself. 

 

So for all you people who complain and get pissed off because you're tired of seeing people who are HAPPY WITH THEIR BODIES show it off, you can plant a nice big one on my behind. DO something about it. Don't just complain. 

 

I did something about it, and I'm happier than I've ever been. No, I haven't made it to my goal yet, but I'm a lot closer than I was when I was sitting on the computer complaining and feeling bad and angry at myself.

 

It's YOUR life, make the right choices.

 

Goodies!

Happy Saturday! It's been what seems like a super long weekend, and I don't mind! :) 

I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far.

I saw the Hunger Games on Thursday night/Friday morning, but I will save that for another day :) Today is for my Mother in Law and  few other people who have asked me what kind of foods I have been eating..

SO, I am going to make a list of a lot of different things I eat and how I prepare them!

Breakfast foods:

So, that's a little bit of what I eat! Obviously I didn't include the servings, but you can look them up or ask me and I will give you the info about them! My Fitness Pal is a great way to look up/scan foods to see their nutritional value and monitor your calorie intake! It has helped me so much!

I hope maybe you can get some ideas for some delicious food, and thanks to those who recommended some of the above to me!
