It's August!

Almost 6 months ago, I made a goal.  My goal was to lose 25 pounds by my 35th birthday.  I have never kept a diet goal for more than maybe a week, I love eating and hate working out.  But I kept reminding myself that at this age, the only way for me to reach my goal was to keep up with my food intake and working out. The eating part was hard to change but after 6 months, I definitely can tell the difference.  I love fresh veggies and fruit, and though I still have a weakness for chips and chocolates, Im doing a lot better with picking better foods :)

As far as working out.  I started with Shawn T's Insanity Max 30 everyday.  I did that for 2 months.  In the middle of that I decided to add walking 2-3 miles a day.  I haven't done much cardio in a while, but I have walked at least 2 miles daily.  I love walking!

As far as my goal, I am not gonna make it.  My birthday is in 8 days and I still have 10 pounds to lose. It makes me bummed that I didn't make my goal.  But I did lose 15 pounds and that's a big deal! My clothes fit better, some are too big. lol I've lost inches all over.  So there is something to celebrate! Right now I'm trying to see just how much more I can lose before my birthday... We shall see.


For now we are 7 days into August and we've already started school, celebrated baby girl's 6th birthday twice, and are counting down for mommy's bday. Baby boy is 3 and a big, cute mess. lol  Big sis is doing a great job holding down the fort!
