After being told my a ton of my friends I should start blogging my stories, recipes, etc, here we are. But why in the world would anyone want to hear about that you may ask?
Well, I'll be frank. I started the year weighing close to an all time high. I wasn't living right. I ate McDonalds, TacoBell, PizzaHut, Chinese, Jack in the Box, etc.... you get the point. I will be honest, it wasn't just me indulging in a small fry here and there. It was eating the LARGE fry with the LARGE coke, oh and let's not forget those tasty chicken mcnuggets. I ate it all. It's no wonder that this is what I looked like from 2011-June 2012 (Brace yourself...)
When I saw the last photo, in June of this year, thats when it clicked. I couldn't keep living the way I was living- or not living actually. I was using my thyroid condition and PCOS as a reason for why I couldn't lose weight. I was lying to myself and everyone else. Having those conditions does make it harder for me to lose weight, but, they weren't the real reason I couldn't.
I drastically changed my diet and life after seeing those photos. I gutted my pantry. The crap had to go. If it was in my house, I was going to eat it. I am now in the part of my journey where I am still refining my eating habits- I really try my hardest to eat cleaner, healthier meals... But I'll be honest, there are sometimes where I just want a good old nasty cheeseburger, and that's ok. That cheeseburger every now and then keeps me from binging and not snapping back to reality after eating a cheat meal.
I have been super blessed by having a ton of friends who have either helped me, supported me, inspired me, motivated me, something... My goal in life is NOT to be skinny, so I just want to get that out in the open, right now... I want to be fit. I want to be healthy. I WANT TO LIVE.
As of today, I have lost 30 lbs and still going. My goal with this blog is to stay accountable to me and my friends, post some recipes, workouts, what I'm doing to get where I need to be.
Here are some photographs from my journey thus far:
