My personal journey

Since July of 2008 I have been working so hard to accomplish a major goal. I have been trying to lose 40 lbs. Pretty big goal I set for myself, I know. But I had to do it. I had to get my baby weight plus more off. As of today I have lost 25 lbs. I can't believe it! What a change it has made in my life. I haven't done any sort of diet plan like South Beach or Atkins. I just changed my eating habits. Those who know me, know that I am such a picky eater. So doing any sort of diet plan is a challenge. I have been able to still eat everything that I love and enjoy just with moderation. In July I started running or walking around our neighborhood. I did this just about every day for at least 30 minutes. Then in November I joined a gym. I hate running in the cold. Doing all of this has changed the way that I feel about myself and the way that I carry myself in public. If you ever doubt that you can accomplish something it will only bring you down. My wonderful husband has been the best support for me. I love him so much and I owe so much to him for keeping me motivated and going strong. I could not have done this at all without him by my side. My goal is to get back into my wedding dress. I haven't tried yet to see how close I am but I will do it. I am challenging myself to lose 10 more lbs in the next 3 months. I will keep you updated on my progress. I can do it!!!!
