It's been a year

It doesn't seem possible that it has been a year since I last wrote. I needed the break though.

It has been a very FULL last year and really way to much to catch you up on in one post.

I will start with today… 

Today I am focusing on myself. 

I am fighting my own demons and trying to be a stronger person. 

Today I am being Healthy. Today I am on a journey to a better me. 

After baby #2 I had no drive to work out. No will to want to. 

Well, after hitting my all time highest weight while not pregnant…. 

228 pounds. GASP! (It's a really big deal for me that I just shared that) 

I decided it was a time for a change. Not a mild change, a BIG one. 

I began researching clean eating and made up my mind I will do this. No magic potions or pills. Saturday will be a month of NO soda, 

Clean eating with very few cheats, and working out.

 Still struggling to work out as much as I should.

 Then comes the next goal: I will work out every day for the next month. No matter what! 

I am down 16 pounds and my clothes are definitely getting bigger. 

I am starting to feel better and have more energy.

 I am sharing my story, because I hope to inspire someone,

just as I have been inspired by so many other awesome people who with dedication get to their goals. So hang on tight folks its going to be a bumpy ride. 

This is a true struggle and I can't wait to get to my end goal! =) 

Shine on Lovlies,
