Everyday is a new day

 

So I started really focusing on my health this past year, first I changed my eating to a vegetarian diet and spent all my time focusing on "I'll lose weight if I don't eat meat" Well months later I had figured out how to be vegetarian and fell in love with eating this way. No real weight loss but I knew devotion to eating less processed and more plant based would make me feel better. Well 2015 rolled around and I started an office weight loss competition which I lost 14.4 lbs from 1/6 - 3/3. In the middle of that competition I started another competition at my zumba studio. I lost 23.6 lbs from 2/5 - 4/8. I was on cloud nine but BURNT out. I quickly splurged on this and that chalking it up to "I haven't had this in a while this will satisfy my need for junk" well I can promise you that junk will not satisfy! EVER. 

So along comes a dietbet with Chris and Heidi Powell I want this soooo bad. I want to be fit I want to be healthy. I want people to ask "what did you do" but my real, true goal is I want to be a healthy woman before I have babies. I promised myself and my husband I would be healthy and fit before we start a family. This would also give us time to figure out our financial short comings. I could already have been to my goal by now if I hadn't struggled so long with transistioning to vegetarian. 

I can't focus on the negatives anymore, I can't be down on myself. I have to celebrate my wins and look to the fact that I have been successful and can be consistantly! I will get there, and time is wasting if I don't!

Thanks for reading and I hope to inspire others with my story and my struggles. :)
