30 and Counting!

Tonight this post is quite emotional for me. I stepped on the scale today, and I am 31.5 pounds lighter, and I am still in shock! As I went to my sister's b-day party this weekend, the compliments started pouring in and I felt great. But It wasn't today till I stepped on that scale and saw myself in a new way. I have been working really hard lately and I am finally seeing myself in a new light. This is a life style change.

Aside from the compliments I was getting a lot of, "What are you doing?" "How is your diet?" "What is your workout routine?"

But the truth is, if I want a piece of chocolate, I will have it, not the whole bar(like I used to do) but some. As far as working out, I love working out with friends. We try to compete and it becomes more a game then a workout. Also the trick to staying on a machine for a long period of time is find a T.V, put your headphones in, and don't look down at your machine. Before you know it, it's an hour later!

The stair master is one awesome workout! 

But I am not finished. This 30 pounds is just a dent in the amount of weight that I am going to lose! I haven't come up with an exact number yet. I was think 60 maybe a flat 100. But I have a lot of time to decide!


Thank you to everyone, for the support, kind words, and to my mom for making the best protein smoothies in the world!

And you thought Watermelon season was over! 

Hope life is beautiful wherever you are! Stay healthy my friends!

P.S. My sister and her best friends from elementary to middle to high school to college and beyond  got together tonight and we had a girls night! In reflection, I hope that me and my friends will have a relationship like this! We had a blast! Funny thing is, 10 years ago I wasn't even allowed in my sister's room, let alone allowed to hangout with her friends! Boy have things changed...for the better!

Shout out to Vanessa! She is on the far left! It's her first appearance on the blog!
