Many of you may know that I've been on a weight loss journey this year. January 17, I started Weight Watchers. I tried WW last year and had a little success but it didn't stick and I gained more weight in the process. This time I decided to go all out. I decided to go to WW meetings as well as online tracking. It made all the difference. I have gone every Tuesday and only had 2 weeks where I stayed the same or gained a little bit. I also started a workout program called Turbo Fire. It is part of the Beach Body series. It was 20 weeks long and I did it 6 days a week for all 20 weeks. I feel so empowered and so much more in control than I've ever been. I'm making healthy choices and sticking with it. I don't feel deprived at all. I have grown stronger and feel so much better about myself. I'm not saying I don't have cravings for bad stuff anymore, I do, I just feel I can manage it better than before. I still have a long way to go but wanted to share my 20 week results with everyone.
BEFORE
January 1, 2012 - holding my nephew Max before church. (This is one of the only pictures of me the whole time because obviously I didn't like my picture taken.)
AFTER
June 11, 2012 - Lost 40.2 lbs and 33 total inches from my bust,waist,hips,arms and thighs.
I just started a new workout program called INSANITY!!! I completed week one and have a love/hate relationship with Shaun T. This program is 9 weeks long. I'll post an update when it's completed.
Some milestones from the first 20 weeks:
Being able to run a mile without stopping, then, two weeks later, running 2 1/2 without stopping.
Two sizes smaller and buying new clothes in the regular women's departmen. Not more "W" on my tags. :)
Not feeling tired and run down.
