I did it, YAY!

I don't know why I was blessed with a good metabolism, but because of it, I was always the small one in the family. Fast forward to my late 30's and after 4 children my once great metabolism now was...well, not so great. Actually, I think it retired. I all of a sudden put on so much weight, people were noticing...and commenting. "We're glad you're getting big like he rest of us!" or "You're getting chunky." etc, etc. All I'm thinking is, "Really, I hadn't noticed!" When my clothes no longer fit and my back started hurting more and more, (I have scoliosis), believe me, I NOTICED! I had a choice. Was I going to get depressed and let myself go, or was I going to stop complaining and do something about it? I chose to use their comments, (and my back pain), as motivation to kick butt and take names! After watching my food intake, breaking up with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, (which was my crack), and a daily dose of, "Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred", (love her, she rocks), I am feeling so much better! I looked thru my old photos and made a before/after picture that not only shocked me, but really put into perspective how much I accomplished, (with God's help of course)!!

Now, to keep it off...Oh gosh! Well, I will do my bestest and believe I can do it!!!

Choose Joy,
