It's My Anniversary!


It's my workout anniversary. The pictures are scary. The work was hard. The outcome was worth it.

A year ago I never thought I could get anywhere close to where I am. I have lost 77 pounds. 17 pounds below my lowest target weight.

There are no pills, no quick fixes to be found here. I worked out hard. Every single week. I then worked on my diet, cleaned it up, counted calories and worked out harder. It has been a year of sweat, work and tears. All along the way, my husband told me I was worth it, and later joined in. He gave me the space to be "all about me" for an hour almost every evening of that year. I am so grateful!

To keep it off, I will keep working out, and have my treats in moderation. As long as I don't get addicted to super sweet tea again, I think I will be
okay!

If I can do it~ mother of six, breastfeeding through 10 of those months , and beginning homeschooling~ anyone can! Thanks to everyone who has cheered me along my journey. You have helped me so much!

Off to my workout!

  4. Hello,

    I found your blog while surfing the “not back to school blog hop”. As I was looking around I came across your weight loss success; you are amazing! You mention counting calories and working out but I haven’t seen anything about what you eat. What is your typical day like, meal wise? You are such an inspiration!
