My Progress from the last 8 months!!

Taking photos has been one of the hardest things I've had to do because honestly it's a HUGE wake up call. I'm so glad that I took these when my Coach urged me too because now I can look back and look at my progress. Here are my progress photos from the last 8 months and I never in my widest dreams did I ever think that one day I would have visible abs!!!....gah, so exciting!! I KNOW I CAN do this, I will be ready in the next few months!! This year, I will not let Summer creep up on me...instead, I will be READY for it!!

This is the REASON I encourage my coaches & challengers to take pics of their progress!!

Someone's compliment led me to do a side by side comparison...

I am so beyond thrilled because my hard work is paying off in just LESS than 7 weeks wahoo!!! I just read a message from someone pointing out that they could see my progress from my pic I posted yesterday on my Facebook. So I did a little side by side comparison and WOW I am amazed because honestly I did not think I made that much progress!

You just get so used to seeing yourself everyday in the mirror that you don't notice those little changes and sometimes it takes someone else to mention it for you to notice it. So thank you for sending me that message....you know who you are 

I encourage that if you notice someone making progress than please reach out to them and let them know because some of us are working so hard whether it be from working out, skin care, personal development, at our jobs or whatever it may be...just take a few min of your time and tell them. Others may need that acknowledgement that their hard work is paying off to help motivate them to keep on going.

Uplift someone's spirit this week and let them know that you see progress! 

I've Got My Confidence Back!

Years ago, I went to the doctor to have a physical done. I was 230 lbs which I could NOT believe it because we didn't have a scale in the house. I was in shock followed by me feeling ashamed that I had let myself go. The doctor said I was morbidly obese and I was also diagnosed pre diabetic and it was my huge wake up call!

Needless to say, after my wake up call...I started exercising and focusing on my nutrition. I've been making progress and getting closer towards reaching my goal of a healthy 150 lbs. My numbers have been reversed so I am nowhere being diabetic anymore! If I didn't lose the weight.....than I would have had diabetes today and probably much more major health problems. This goes to show how much weight can affect your health!

I feel amazing now, I got my confidence back and I feel like a million bucks! I'm on a mission to inspire others that they can improve their health just by incorporating fitness & nutrition.

If you need the help and the motivation, than please reach out to me and ask about joining my accountability group on Facebook. I would love to help you on your journey towards better health, it's so rewarding seeing others make progress because you inspired someone today.  

It's a process...

I find myself repeating this over and over to myself and to others so often! 

We ALL including me want change to happen right now. Its hard to realize that it is going to take some time. It is going to take eating healthy 6 days a week, exercising, drinking enough water and focusing on the goal you want to achieve! It's going to take tweaking your diet when you reach a plateau and pushing yourself to workout when you would rather not!

Its a process, but if you follow the plan laid out for you, CHANGE will HAPPEN!!!!

I took control of my health....

Back in 2008 I went to the doctor to have a physical done. I had no idea how much I weighed at the time because I didn't have a scale but when I got on the scale at the doctors office and it read 230 lbs...I could NOT believe it! I was in shock followed by me feeling ashamed that I had let myself go. I saw on the chart that the doctor put down that I was morbidly obese which was a huge wake up call! He looked me straight in the eye and said that "I needed to lose weight or I was going to get diabetes"...I was diagnosed pre diabetic!

Needless to say, after we left the doctor...I signed up at a local gym and started focusing on nutrition. I lost 80 lbs within a year because of my hard work and dedication! I went back to that very same doctor and he was just blown away that I did it....and I did it so quickly! My numbers were reversed so I was nowhere being diabetic anymore! If I didn't lose the weight.....than I would have had diabetes today and probably much more major health problems. This goes to show how much weight can affect your health!

Was it easy? No....but it was WORTH it!

I feel amazing, I got my confidence back and I feel like a million bucks! Now I'm on a journey to inspire others that they can improve their health just by incorporating fitness & nutrition.

If you think you're past the point of not being able to lose weight....just like I thought...PUSH that out of your mind now! If you need help or even the extra accountability than join my accountability group. I'd love to help you reach your fullest potential....you'd be amazed at what your body can do :)

My Progress in 3 Months >>> So exciting!!!!

As promised, here are my progress photos! This took a little less than 3 months because I started my journey on May 12th, 2014. But during the past 6 weeks is where I've noticed the biggest difference because of my new workout program that I started. This Monday will be the beginning of my 7th week with it, it's an 8 week program but I plan on restarting it over and doing a second round after the full 8 weeks.

I'll be starting my 2nd round on Monday August 25th so if you want to join me and we can do this together than please send me a message. I'm not going to accept too many people because I want to focus on each persons progress individually so don't hesitate if you're interested. For details about the program, you can contact me.

Here are pictures of my front, back and each side. I'm really excited seeing these, all the more reason to keep on pushing myself! Thank you for all your love and support
