The end to my 1st complete day!
Well....I'm exhausted right now! But I had an AMAZING day! Ate healthy and had a WONDERFUL work out! Ran 2.5 miles and sweated my booty off...I always do my complete work out in a sweatshirt...so I look like a sweat ball when I am finished! And yes....I just said sweat ball! I am proud of myself today because of all the times I have lost or tried to lose weight I have never gone the full day with at least munching on something I should not be eating! I DID IT! Today I did not munch at all! To me this is a huge accomplishment! A WOO HOO! I truly enjoyed everything I ate today...and for all those who know me well know that I am the pickiest person EVER! Seriously though I have never met someone as picky as I USE to be! My biggest problem with today is that I didn't eat enough! I don't want this to be a diet! This is a lifestyle change! I know this is just one day so I don't have to worry about it, but if I do this everyday then it will feel like a diet! At the end of everyday I am going to post exactly what I have eaten and the calories! I would love help on ideas or what I need to be doing different! I am doing this all just by things I have heard and/or learned! I am about to fall asleep, so I hope you all have a wonderful evening and a HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE! Thank you all for the support!
Oh! Also I am doing a 1500 calorie diet...I know a 1200 cal is what most do, but since I am as overweight as I am I am suppose to have more! If I am wrong...HELP A SISTER OUT!
Breakfast
2 slices turkey bacon 50 cals
Half cup egg substitute mixed with green bell peppers 60 cals
Snack
1 can V8 juice 30 cals
1 medium size banana 105 cals
Lunch
2 cups Romaine lettuce 15 cals
2 tbsp Light Raspberry vinaigrette 60 cals
1 tbsp sliced honey roasted almonds 40 cals
Weight Watchers Deep Dish pizza casserole 1 slice 277 cals
Dinner
Grilled Vegetable medley (zucchini, squash, and onions) 122 cals
sliced almonds 40 cals
*I will attach recipes tomorrow!

Excitement!
Hey everyone! The excitement that I have today is almost overwhelming! The comments and love and words of encouragement were not AT ALL what I was expecting! I told my sister in law today, that I decided to do this because I felt like I was at an all time low...rock bottom with my weight, and the thought of helping others or giving others motivation honestly never crossed my mind! I just thought...you know what if my husband and family are the only people who follow and help me on this journey then that is more than enough for me! But NO...all of YOU that have written to me have truly made me cry on everything I have read! Your words are just amazing and so motivating! You guys I'm not kidding when I say this...I have NEVER felt this way about losing weight! I know this is it...this is when I change my life FOREVER! This is when I teach my children how to eat vegetables and fruit and salad! Not chips and cookies and pop! I have an amazing article I am going to post whenever my husband gets home that all you parents...especially mommies will LOVE! But again thank you for everything guys! Okay now on to a few more things I have been thinking of! I have always heard to do this, but my friend Lauren Jordan told me...set small goals! So here it is guys...my first small goal!
* 10 pounds...thats it! I know this is a goal I can hit! My reward for 10 pounds is $50 from my husband to go buy myself some new clothes~
One big goal that I do want to go on and set, that has nothing to do with my weight is one that I am very passionate about and so excited to do! The half marathon in May! I truly think I should have no problem with this one...I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE RUNNING! My husband has done 3 marathons and has definitely inspired me! I have no problem at all running right now, except for the fact that my body gets tired a lot quicker than if I was 90 pounds lighter! I feel like when I get some weight off I will be an ultra marathoner...haha maybe not that extreme, but I do feel like running a marathon will be easier! Well thank you all for listening! I can not tell you how much I love doing this! You are all my inspirations! Thank you again! Hope y'all all have a fabulous day!

Before posting my first video!
Okay guys...My stomach is in knots and I feel like I am going to throw up because of the video I am about to post! This will be the 1st video of many I will post! It is my first weigh in! I am pretty emotional in it because I am nervous and excited and shocked I am putting it all out there for anyone to see. I am doing this video and blog weight loss because I feel like this will help me with my weight loss and hold me more accountable. I would love if you would like to follow me and of coarse words of encouragement are always helpful! I would also love any tips on working out or food that would be great for me to eat! If anyone is actually following this please don't be scared to talk to me about this on FB or in person! I'm not oblivious to my weight. I know what I look like and I am not trying to hide the fact that I am overweight. That is why I have decided to put this out in the open! I would LOVE everyones help on this amazing change I am taking on! I know I am in this 100% because I am starting it on a Wednesday! I didn't do the whole...well I will just start Monday thing! This is it...this is the day I decided to take my life back! Thank you for all your support! Can't wait to get tips and advice from everyone! Wish me luck and I hope you enjoy this as much as I will!
The beginning of my long journey to my weight loss GOAL!
Hello Blog! It's so nice to meet you! So I have never done a blog in my life! Mainly because I am not great at writing or at punctuation etc. So try and stick with me because it might sound and look like a 7th grader writing! My stomach is actually in knots as I write this blog...mostly because I am about to trow my biggest insecurity out in public, the elephant that I feel like is always in the room when I am there! MY WEIGHT! I am such a happy person that loves EVERY single thing about my life with the exception of the way my body and health is! My weight is something I have struggled with pretty much as long as I can remember. But since I had Madi Rae and especially after having Molly Mae, it has gotten so out of control I don't know where to turn! It is so hard because I LOVE LOVE LOVE to workout! If it was possible I would work out everyday for 6 hours! I LOVE IT! My enemy is food! My husband is the most amazing man I have ever met and one of the best things for me is the fact that he is a health nut! You would think that I would be super healthy because of the way he is, but when he is not here during the day that is when I eat bad. I don't sit around and stuff my face or anything. I have never done that, but my girls and I go out to eat ALL THE TIME! I feel like this is one of the main reasons I have become as heavy as I am now! I want nothing more than to be healthy for myself and my children, I have had SIX knee surgeries...yes 6... right now my knees feel great, but I know that if I continue the way I am now that at a very young age I will not be able to hold my own weight! I am writing and telling you all this because I have decided to do something that I am super excited about and also nervous, because again I will be putting everything about my weight out in public! But I am going to do it guys! I am going to do it! I have always wanted to do the biggest loser, I LOVE that show! I love Jillian and Bob and Allison and the whole show so much, but I just don't think I can do it! So I am doing an alternative, my own Biggest Loser thing! I am going to do my weight loss journey through youtube! Yes I understand that most people will not be interested, but even if it's just one person watching than that is fine! My husband and I are going to weigh myself once a week on camera and also I will be videoing other things as well! I am thinking it will probably take me around a year or so to get all the weight I want off! I am so excited about this journey that my family and I are about to begin! Thank you to all who support me! Thank you to my husband for all his help and love! I can not wait for this! Look for our first you tube tonight!
