Been a while...

I haven't posted on here in forever but things have been great! I took a week off over the time that I haven't been on and had a few slip ups but I haven't stopped working towards my goal.  I am 18lbs down from when I first started in Dec-Jan. While the weight hasn't came off like I would like for it to.. I have toned a great deal and that makes me happy:) Here's a recent pic.. just before I got my sweat on..lol

I will continue to keep pushing play and I am not giving up.. I can't wait to reach my goal!!

I am back on track today and it feels great. Lots of water, healthy food and a hell of a sweaty workout:) I plan on hitting it super hard this month! After losing 13lbs in the month of January I know that I can do it again this month.. #Determined

Well I have totally slacked this week:/ My husband was off all week and we treated ourselves to pizza, spaghetti and sweets. I had no willpower this week!! I can not wait to get back on track Monday morning. I feel yucky and tired so I know that I have got to step my game up and get back to my clean eating and drinking plenty of water. I can do it and I WILL:)

I am so glad that I finally got my head right and back on track with living a healthy lifestyle. I feel amazing. Clean food in my body.. tons of water.. going hard on my workouts, and the result? 11 pounds lighter and full of energy:) I am making a lot of changes this year and I'm really not sure why I didn't do them sooner but the end results of these changes are surely going to be amazing!!

Lots to post today! I went shopping this morning and bought all healthy items. Plenty of fruits, veggies and beans. Adding color to my life:) It just sucks that healthy food is so expensive:/

I also bought these new workout capri's on the clearance rack while I was out. When I returned home my E&E was in the mailbox waiting for me and I couldn't wait to put on my new pants, try out my new drink and burn this fat off!! While shopping I debated on getting the next size down but then chose to stick with the size I have been forever now. BIG MISTAKE! While working out, all the jumping and sweating in the pants that were already loose just made them fall down. I think I spent more time picking my pants up than working out..lol. Hey I'm not mad.. means change is happening:)

My awesome burn for the day:)

The dinner I made: Turkey Chili. It was so yummy and so healthy at only 226 calories a serving:)
What a productive day:) Now it's time to hit the sack and get that much needed 6-8 hrs sleep. Laters!!

It's amazing how great you feel when you exercise daily! I actually look forward to working out it's the eating better that is my problem. I can go all day eating clean until dinner. Making dinner for picky kids is hard and trying not to eat what I cook for them is even harder..lol. And not to mention wanting something sweet afterwards. I am learning new recipes that we all will like and trying hard to find something healthy in place of a sweet fatty treat at the end of the night. But hey it's a process and as long as I am trying to change and making progress than that makes me happy.

The photo above is me flexing what small new muscle I have..lol. I never thought I would like lifting weights but to my surprise I do. It makes me feel stronger and honestly seeing the changes my body is making because of the added weights with my cardio I want to smack myself for not doing it sooner. Love it! Keep pressing play people and get up and MOVE!!

After my workout today..burned 939 calories in 58 mins..I earned my shower!!
