Catching up!

So I haven't blogged in a while....

Here are a few things that have happened lately.

First off, I found out today that the team I am coaching at FXB is in first place for best improvements as of their 5 weeks! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Go Kickin' Chicks! Keep up the great work! These girls are my inspiration for sure! They keep me going on those days when I am so not feeling it. We are all going to do a 5k together in May. I cant wait. It amazes the things I actually look forward to now that I am a whole lot healthier!

I had a girls weekend in Denver with my BFF's for my birthday and had a blast. Got to get all pretty and go out for a night on the town. For once in a very long time I felt beautiful. I mean I really felt like I looked good. I can tell you that has not happened to me in FOREVER. I always feel uncomfortable in what I am wearing. Like everything is either to tight or I look like  I am wearing a potato sack. but not that night. I was totally comfortable and confident. What a GREAT feeling!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!

I have this thing I do when I am bored which is going through this tub of clothes that I have that are to small. Pretty sure it is Nathan's least favorite thing for me to do since I make him look at everything and tell me it looks good! LOL!
Now my once VERY full tub is down to my dream size clothing. This is not a bad thing but kinda depressing when I get into these moods of wanting to try clothes on. :)

 I tried on all my dream clothes which do not fit yet. (but I was able to get them on just not buttoned) But, wasn't quite satisfied that I had tried on enough and nothing actually fit so I thought, "what else do I have to try on" And then it occurred to me. My wedding dress! And guess what IT FITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited just had to share with anyone that would listen.

if you do what you've always done you will always get what you've always got

So I am at that point in my weight loss goal where I start to sabotage myself. Really not sure why I do this to myself. Everything is going so easy then all of the sudden I just stop and go back to what I was doing. Isn't the saying "if you do what you've always done you will always get what you've always got"? Well, I am not letting that happen to me. I believe the first step is to realize that you are slipping back to your old habits so Kudos to me for catching it before I gained 50 pounds! :)

Now time for some action on my part. I have asked for help! Which if you know me, it is not something I am very good at doing. Thankfully I have the best support system. My coach Erin is helping me. She is texting me to check on me and making sure I am eating right, pushing me in the gym, and answering my millions of questions! I am so blessed to have this kind of support! 

I really feel like this time everything clicked. I know what I need to do to become healthy and I am going to do it!
