30 Day Challenge

The other day I was reading an article about losing 4lbs and 7 inches off your belly within a week. Sounds good right? I was thinking about would this really work. See I messed up and started drinking red bulls again, and noticed my stomach was slowly coming back. So tomorrow will be my very last red bull once again, and I will try to do this new challenge.

The challenge consist of 3 days of ab workouts for 30 minutes, and 5 days of cardio for 30 minutes. You can eat the food you always eat, just control your portions. So tonight is 7/21/10, current weight is 197.4, waist is 39.5 inches. Next weigh in and measurements will be on  7/28/10.

So join me, and let me know how it goes!

Loving Who I Am

I ain't trying to be some skinny chick.....I do love my thickness. I just need to tone up my arms and legs, and lose my spare tire. Being on this weight loss journey, I am discovering who I really am, what I like and don't like. I aint gotta be like nobody else, I only need to be me. I workout yes to knock off these pounds, but not for other people, but for me. I want to be healthy, and fit too live a long life. After I had kids, I really lost myself, but guess what yall.....I'm back and feeling better than ever. It's nothing like being me.

OMG......I'm So Happy

I can't believe it........198.2lbs! Yes I know it's still a lot of weight, but being that when I first started this workout journey I weighed 236lbs, and to be in the hundreds is really exciting. I feel like there is nothing I can't do as long as I stay focused. So working out 6 days a week, and portion control is the key for me. So watch out , cause I'm getting fly and fit, and will no longer be fat! :)

200.8lbs and still losing

I am so proud that I have reached the 200lb mark. It has been a very trying journey. Going from 236lbs to 200lbs feels so good. I love how my clothes are fitting. I'm no longer buying baggy clothes. I buy my clothes to fit and show off my curves. My confidence is slowly coming up, and I love it. It ain't over. I'm gonna reach my goal of 145lbs.

Going From size 18 to 14

I am proud that I've gone down four dress sizes. A year ago I was always in nursing scrubs for the past 9 years, and that was pretty much what I was wearing the majority of the time. Now that I am working in retail I had to buy new clothing since I had lost 28lbs so far. I'm loving how my body is shaping, I wish I could lose my mid -section a little faster. Photos will be posted soon.
