Today I'm being brave and sharing my progress picture that I've only shared two places. One being my Instagram account, and two being my private fitness group on Facebook full of nothing but really supportive women. I'm excited to share this here. My journey has been a long one and I can admit that I have fallen off a lot of times, and slacked quite a bit, and just been generally lazy about this at times. I think we learn more when we struggle. It can make the whole thing more worth it in the end. If it was easy I wouldn't have learned as much as I did my struggling! I wouldn't have learned how much I'm capable of, and learned about self control and determination! Anyways, this is my first picture I shared on here of me and is pretty close to showing me at my heaviest weight. Most likely close to 198lbs. Today I'm down to 155lbs which puts me at around 4olbs down. I can choose to dwell on the fact that it's taken me so long to get this small of a number gone in 2 years, or I can focus on that 40lbs and how amazing of a number it is! I still have a little ways to go still, but I've lost 5lbs in the past month of being so incredibly focused, and I know if I can just stay here that I can get to my goal in just a few months! I'm excited to see myself this summer, and to see where I can get my body! I get to go back to the gym soon, and it's going to be great to get back to a more strict workout routine. Spring and Summer are right around the corner and my goal was to loose 30 more pounds by June and I'm already 5lbs down and closer to my goal! YAY ME! I have seen so many great progress pictures with a woman with a stomach just like mine from before, and a super flat muscular tummy in her after shot. I can't wait for that to be me! I know I can get there. I'm so close now!
