That is what Chalene Johnson says as she struggles in Chalean Extreme to do that last set of grueling push ups. She promised I would love push ups when through with Extreme. Well~ I DON'T ! I do however love tone arms and legs among other places ;), and the ability to do cardio forever and still smile. I love being 14 pounds below my goal weight. I love trying on clothes even if I have no money to buy them. I love picking up a size 8 pair of Levis and thinking there is no way they are fitting me only to try them on and have them fit like a dream! (I wasn't built to be a size 2, 4 or 6 believe me~ I tried as a teen.) I love the feeling of accomplishment that in less than a year I got my groove back. I REALLY LOVE it when people think I am lying when I tell them I have 6 kids! (Cause I look so great!) And who lies about having 6 kids anyway??? I love it that I was able to lose 74 pounds and feel comfortable being me. The plain old me. Stay at home, homeschooling, pessimistic me. I set out to do something for me, and I did it! I recently put my goals on Facebook, and said I wanted to lose 6 more. I will never stop if I keep making number goals, so I am throwing that out the window. I am healthy, and am making a new goal to stay fit and active. Maintain. Thanks to Noah for the pic, I can't take them by myself, and those are the aforementioned Levis! ;)

You got it alright!!
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can be an inspiration to work out, it's the homeschooling mother of 6 that does it and does it WELL!!!!! Lookin' good, girl ;)
I just have one question... How did you get the ambition to start without the family support? I know they supported you but they still ate a little different than you did. I am trying to go carb-free, seeing how I already eat very healthy, that's my new plan. But of course my family still wants spaghetti, sammies, and so on. How do you get past temptations all around you?
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you! You do look great! Its been amazing watching your transformation. Sorry for my eating slips - I never really had a goal, just went along for the ride. But you keep me inspired! I'm looking forward to keeping up w/ you! :0)
ReplyDeleteYou look so great! I found your blog off Stephanie's, and love it. While I've only lost 7 lbs and only have a goal of about 15, you look amazing, and I am so inspired :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Don't try to lose any more -- you are PERFECT! I bet you feel so energetic and healthy and will be able to keep up with your family for years and years and years!! You are truly an inspiration! I'd love to hear more about your diet and how you pulled it off with a large family.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you -- When do you work out? I have such a hard time finding time to work out as a busy homeschooling mother! I'd like to know what time of day has worked out best for you.
