finally I am almost where I want to be with my weight.....It has been a veryyy looonnggggg and hard

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

So I have done very well over the holidays but slacked a bit

(occasionally this was me....and I can admit it....lol)

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

hmmmmm

lets say was not my best friend anymore....

 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)

And just in case you didn't read my blog entry from

December 3, 2011

BEFORE PIC

 The benefits of determination and self discipline ....

You can click either the before pic or the title to be directed to it that is if your interested :)

The pic is from Georges which is a bar and it was a gathering of high school friends (early 2009)...a really good friend Jen Is next to me and it helped seeing me at this weight next to her...she is an avid runner, solid as a rock, healthy and fit
and me

REALLY...NO KIDDING THIS TIME
(TRUE STORY)

(actually started saturday and sunday
and hit the gym)

I HAVE DECIDED
TO GET

BACK ON TRACK!!!!

THOSE LAST FEW DREADED PAIN IN THE ASS POUNDS WILL

BE OFF BY SUMMER

THIS IS A FACT!!!!

I did wear a bikini and felt ok last summer
but this summer

I WILL LOOK AND FEEL AWESOME!!!!

ANDDDD
for those who don't know me

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

all the time each and everday!!!

Not just for me but my children too!!!

This is it the final destination to my

weight loss getting fit journey.....

MY MOTIVATION
the same thing sillies it worked last year

I have my eyes on

Two more victoria secret bikinis

this year

and this year I will have 4 hot bikini's to choose from!!!!!

AND I WILL FEEL EVEN BETTER THAN I DID LAST YEAR!!!!

MAYBE I WILL EVEN TREAT MYSELF TO A NEW PAIR OF MISS ME JEANS OR TWO

(THANKS KARA FOR INTRODUCING ME TO BUCKLE....UGGGG....SHE WAS RIGHT SHE SAID TRY THEM ON....JUST TRY THEM....COME ON LES....ONCE YOU TRY THEM YOU WILL LOVE THEM...THEY ARE WORTH THE MONEY....BOUGHT A PAIR FELT GUILTY...THEY ARE A TAD PRICY.... TOOK THEM BACK.....GUESS WHAT DAMN IT SHE WAS RIGHT....I WORKED HARD TO GET WHERE I AM AND NOW I HAVE THREE PAIRS....BUT I USE THEM AS A BONUS PLAN FOR WHEN I GET TO A CERTAIN STEP IN MY FITNESS GOAL...I WORKED HARD AND I AM WORTH IT)

BRING IT

I AM SOOOOO READY!!!!!

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

(I AM A MOTHER OF TWO BEAUTIFUL BOYS,  WORK FULL TIME AND PART TIME BUILDING A BUSINESS REFURBISHING AND  BUILDING FURNITURE
AND HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFE ESPECIALLY
MY LIL MAN...MY OTHER SON IS OFF AT COLLEGE BUILDING HIS DREAMS)

ARE THERE PEOPLE I WOULD RATHER SPEND MY TIME WITH OR OTHER THINGS I WOULD RATHER BE DOING
HELL YES
WOULD I BE WHERE I AM IF I DIDN'T
MAKE TIME FOR THE GYM
HELL NO!!!!

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
