Slacking

So not only have I been slacking off on blog posts but I have also been slacking in the working out and eating right category.. I did 2 rounds of 21 day fix and lost a total of 25 pounds and then I fell off the train basically flat on my face... I started eating CRAP because it was easy...And working out was well just too much work... Glad to say after a month or so hiatus I am SLOWLY getting back on track and luckily I have maintained the weight that I have been at! I have about 30 to 35 more pounds that I want to lose and more importantly WILL lose! Not sure if I have mentioned this but we are living in Alaska now, have been for 6 months (crazy to think that it has already been 6 months) so getting outside and active (with two kids) is hard when the temperature is in the 20s or lower but gotta get it done! I'm really not sure if anyone even reads this stuff but it is a way for me to keep myself accountable and I need to improve in all categories! Until next time! K>M>F

Tomorrow My First Round is DONE!

Tomorrow will be the day that I complete my first round of 21 Day Fix! I have a long journey ahead of me but with persistence I will get to where I want to be! I can see a change and most of all feel the change from healthier eating and living! I have more energy and I am all around healthier! Again I hope my journey will help someone else better themselves that is in a slump like I was! I haven't done my measurements from the end of this round yet but I will tomorrow evening and I can't wait to post my total inches lost for this round! *K.M.F* See ya soon!

My Weakness.

I've been at a stand still with my weight for days now, and I know, I know I shouldn't expect to lose weight daily I just want to be able to see results. I'm working my ass off and feel like I am looking the same it is discouraging but my husband came home for lunch today as he sits down on the couch beside me he turns to me and says " I'm proud of you, ya know" It made me smile and his encouragement helps me push through the discouraging numbers on the scale. I need to beat it into my head that, that is just a number on a scale, and that sometimes a scale can be a liar because it's the inches and fat that matter not the number on the scale. I need to keep it in mind that muscle weights more than fat. There is a quote that says "it takes 4 weeks for you to notice a change in your body, 8 for your family and friends, and 12 for the rest of the world Keep Going!" I will stand by that and I WILL be the change that I want to see! NO more excuses! I hope my thoughts and my journey will encourage someone else to get up, get moving and better themselves. Remember even if you are just taking a walk, you are doing more than those still sitting still!

Let's Catch Up!

Alright here we go! I'm not a perfect writer by any means so just bare with me! 
5 years ago this year I got married, and we had our oldest daughter a short time later, my husband came home from training and we got pregnant with our son. Two back to back pregnancies didn't do my body well. So fast forward to 2014, we PCS'd (a military move) all the way to Alaska from North Carolina. On that long trip my eatting habits worsened and I gained even more unwanted weight! Something I've dreaded doing since having my daughter is telling anyone my weight, so to show you guys just how dedicated I am here it goes...My starting weight was 210 pounds, I felt horrible! So here I sat miserable and complaining about it, so I made the decision to do something about it! 10 days ago I started working out daily and watching what I ate. I cut out drinking sodas, snacking, numerous energy drinks, and sugars! 5 days ago I started the 21 day fix! I have fixed a link to it for those interested! What it is, is an eating plan there are color coded containers for each portion of food, and a book to tell you what foods count for what containers! Along with the eating plan comes a work out set that goes day by day! I am proud to say that in 10 days I have lost 10 pounds and am currently sitting at 200 pounds! I still have a long way to go but with the 21 day fix and my husband keeping me accountable ( and hopefully you guys!) I will get there! My goal is to get to at least 150 and once there the skys the limit! My motto that you will see at the end of all my posts is KMF (Keep Moving Forward) so no matter what your struggle is, or what you are going through push through! Thanks for Reading, and see ya soon! *K.M.F*
