Finally--An update, lol



WOW!!!

It's been a mightly long time since i've posted on here. My GOD, so much has changed.

The picture to the right was taken yesterday. So proud to say that I'm still right around my goal. Today i weighed in at 181.2 (goal is and remains to be 180). So not too shabby. But it hasn't come without work. Over the past month or so, i've found myself snacking a little more and being very lax on the workouts (sometimes not getting ANY in all week). So that resulted in me actually getting back up to 192. That scared me, and enough was enough. So jumped right back in, and got back to basics. Excersize everyday, and restricting carbs. It actually wasn't even that hard to jump back to that. And one week later, i was down to 182!!! Couldn't believe it. So i will keep going until i'm at or below the 180 mark. Not too far to go!

I think stress also played into the slight gain of weight. I've been dealing with a hell of a lot since i last posted. Let's see..... I left my marriage, changed jobs, moved to a new state, had to find a new place, have been dealing with car issues and the aftermath of my pending divorce! UGH....it's enough to make your head spin, but....it is what it is. I had to make changes to ensure i was happy and wouldn't have more regrets 20 years down the road. It hasn't been easy, but it will be worth it in the end. Just like with the weight loss----it wasn't an easy road losing over 180 pounds---but when i look in the mirror, or go clothes shopping in medium shirts and size 32 pants----ARRRRGHH....i get excited about the results of the hard road traveled. So i will stay strong, I will push on, and I will come out better on the other side!

More pictures below. Talk to you laters.....hopefully it won't be over 8 months again before i post another update! LMAO.
