First major step to dropping the weight!
Hi dolls!!
This is going to be a very exciting blog post, well to me at least! Yesterday I was on the couch thinking about weight loss and how much weight I've lost. A big part of me wants to be super duper proud because 55 pounds is a big number to me especially since that's the amount I've lost, not gained. While thinking about that I got up and walked to the bathroom. I stood just looking in the mirror trying to see just where I had really lost that 55 pounds. My stomach is flabby, my legs and arms are jiggly.. and nothing honestly is toned.. at all! I do have to admit I haven't had any intense workouts that would tone any of those things up. I mainly run, do my elliptical and I had in the past done Jillian's 30 day shred, but didn't stick with it.
Anyways,
Some of you may or may not know, but I am a makeup junkie. I love doing my makeup, others makeup and I love collecting makeup from different collections that are released. I stay up the night before just so I can place my order. Well, I have been waiting for 2 months for MAC's Venomous villain's collection to be released. The money I planned on spending was in the bank. I was ready to go! Then, I started reading up on Turbo Fire. Yes, I said Turbo Fire. I know a lot of people are raving about it, loving it and are actually seeing results. I had thought about insanity or p90x, but my beach body coach didn't really recommend those programs because they require lifting and such. I have an AC separation in my shoulder currently. I'm not going to go into detail about it, but basically my shoulder is broken and has been for 2 years. I cringe at the fact that I need surgery. *eeeeek! So she suggested Turbo Fire. So, the money I had been saving for that makeup collection I spent on the beach body website so I could get Turbo fire! I am so excited to start this program and I'm so excited that I decided to buy something to better my body instead of cosmetics!!
I am hoping that I am Strong enough to do it.. no I'm not hoping I know I am Strong enough. Granted I will probably most likely feeling like fainting, but I AM strong enough.
I plan on taking before photo's so that I can track my progress. I will be posting comparison photo's on here and I'm also going to be updating each week that I finish. I wanna blog about how that week went, if I lost anything, If I see any changes and how I'm liking the program. I will hope some of you will follow me and watch me as a I go through the journey of changing my body!!! Maybe, just maybe I will inspire some of you to start on your lifestyle change or get you into a new workout program!!

A very big accomplishment for me!!
Hello dolls,
Today has started out great for me and I wanted to share it. I want climb on top of a building and scream it from the roof tops!!
Reached my second major goal today!!! I am so excited! I got on and off the scale about 6 times, then finally got off and did a happy dance around my bathroom!! I weigh in my undies so... I'm glad no one else seen that! **LOL**
I started my journey weighing 204.8 and I'm 5'7 for reference! My first big goal was to be 170. That's exactly what I wanted to be when I first started and I made it when I thought I never would!!
Then it was to be 160... and I made it!!
I began having this problem where I look in the mirror and say " Whoa, how can I have lost 50+ pounds and still look the same!! Whats wrong with me", then I look at my before picture and I realize that "No, I do NOT look the same!! This is really happening for me and I'm doing it the healthy way. Living a lifestyle change, not a diet!"
Now today I weigh 150.8!!! I am so proud of me!! * 9.8.2010*
When I first started I felt miserable and I remember crying myself to sleep because it was SO hard and I knew for sure I wouldn't even be strong enough to lose 10 lbs and look at me, I've lost 53 so far!!!!!
I wanted to share a comparison photo for ya'll... sooo....

So, I wanted to say to all of you who may have really bad days, who think they aren't strong enough and that you'll never do it.. YOU WILL, YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH,you have the willpower and your bad days will get better.
Tomorrow is always a new fresh day and you will succeed. Please NEVER EVER give up. You can be ANYTHING you want to be. You have the choice, so choose it!
I am so thankful for the people I've been blessed with and the people I've learned from. My journey has been amazing and I still have some to lose, but today is the day where I realize all the days I had sore muscles, the days I was still hungry, but had no calories left that it was all worth it. That my life will be longer, my smile will be bigger and I will be happy with who I see in the mirror!
