Big Achievment Today!

Today I weigh 212.2 pounds. That is exactly 50 pounds less than my heaviest weight ever! I seriously almost cried when I realized I hit that mark! Only 6 more pounds and I am officially half way to my goal weight! Only 2.3 pounds and I am out of the two-teens! Honestly when I started this journey I never imagined I would be this successful. How often have I started and stopped, gave up on myself, gave up on my life? WAY too many to count. This time is different for a lot of reasons though. What are those reasons?

1. I have James. I want to keep up with him. I want to be a fun active Mom. I don't want him to struggle with his weight. I want to be there for him through everything and being healthy gives me that chance.
2. I am tired of being sick and tired. Since I have started on this journey I have more energy, I am sick less, I can get more done. It is great! Sure, I still have my moments of exhaustion but that is life!
3. I am done being embarrassed of my own reflection in the mirror. I have so much in my life to be proud of and this is going to be one more thing! I want my outside to reflect the woman I am on the inside.
4. And, now I also want to help inspire others and to do that I have to keep on my path. That is huge for me. If I can help others change their lives the way that people have stepped up and encouraged me that would be the greatest gift. As I mentioned earlier this week I signed up to be an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. I am so excited about this and cannot wait to start helping others! There is a link in my sidebar to my website if you want more information!

I just feel so much better about the path that my life is on than I have in a long time. Exercising and eating clean is truly changing my life and I cannot wait to see what the future holds! Thank you all for being on this journey with me! You are all inspirations to me!
