three years of watching my carb intake and gym time!!!

I am fortunate to have only gained 4 pounds but the gym....

 I watched what I ate but not like I should of

SOOOO for the past few months I hit the gym butttt it was occasionally and the only diet that has

EVERRRRRR and I mean EVER that worked

Is watching my carbs so I watched them
 but not like I should have
(remember carbs are energy so you can't eliminate them)

its not about the scale or how much I weigh

its about how I feel about me...

its about me being comfortable in my own skin,  

being healthy and fit

Not just for me but my children too!!!

This is it the final destination to my

weight loss getting fit journey.....

TRUST IN ME WHEN I SAY THIS
THE GYM DOES NOT MAKE TIME FOR ME

HELL YES
WOULD I BE WHERE I AM IF I DIDN'T
MAKE TIME FOR THE GYM

I AM WORTH IT
MY KIDS ARE WORTH SEEING ME FIT, HAPPY AND HEALTHY


I AM A MUCH HAPPIER HEALTHIER PERSON WHEN I TAKE THAT LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR MYSELF
