One pound at a time

Today I am going to go a bit off the hair subject.  Because I do believe in order to really love your hair, style and life you have to love yourself.  At this point in my life I have learned that I feel like being in shape and feeling healthy are important to me.  So when Jeremy (my husband) was deployed this year.  I decided to commit to getting in shape and loosing weight.  It also helped that my BIG 30 birthday would approach right before his return.

I began this mission the day he left. Thanks to a pretty awesome sister  (sister-in-law, but she treats me like one.  So she earned the title) Trina. She kept me motivated and analysed every calorie that touched my lips.  Because, "What touches your lips for a minute, lives in your hips for a lifetime."   We did the Turbo Fire workout by Beach Body 6-7 days a week burning about 600 calories in about 40 min.  Also cutting calories back about 500 a week.  I did enjoy certain foods on occasion but, I was on a mission and nothing would get in my way.  I believe you need to feel like that to really loose weight because, it is hard work.  I learned you can read all the get skinny quick tricks, drinks, detox and pinterest workouts.  But the only way to skinny/healthy is hard work (no joke).  

Before Jeremy left I was the heaviest that  I had ever been in my life; aside from being pregnant.  So I was successful in loosing nearly 30#.  He has now returned safe and sound and I would like to loose just 10 more pounds.  This is feeling harder than the first round.  Why???  Because I feel pretty good about myself and my accomplishments.  And for once in several years I can look at myself in the mirror (naked) and not feel disgusting.  Some of you might think she did not look bad... But, seriously I just wanted to share my story to say no matter how big or small you are it is all about how you feel about YOU in your own skin!  So if you are feeling Blah!  There is no time like now, to get up and get healthy!   

So today starts round 2, for me.  I run a few days a week.  Started Insanity today which I hate but, it feels good when you get it out of the way.  So here goes nothing! Who is coming with me!?!
