10 down!!!

Yes!!! The first ten pounds out of 50 are officially gone!!! I vow to never let them back on me again, and I vow to never allow the scale to hit such a high number again. I've gotten used to this new lifestyle so far. Early morning workouts are a routine now, and I feel yucky without one. Eating healthy is so much easier when you dont have junk laying around in the house. I just gotta keep up with this.

Funny thing happened today. Andrea, Beto, and I were in the living room just hanging out waiting for Andy's bedtime. She went to grab the workout mat, and told Beto to get his butt working out. I mean she insisted that we turn on the shred, and he get his workout in. She just absorbs everything into that little brain, but I'm glad she is used to seeing us working out now. Gotta lead by example.

I started this weight loss journey for so many reasons. First, I wanted to be physically fit again, but mostly I'm doing it for my daughter and future kids. When I lost Gabriel I felt like I had no control over anything. I mean my body failed him for no apparent reason. I woke up one day and realized that I do have control over what the scale says and I am now taking control of what goes inside my body.

I just pray to God I continue this journey for the rest of time.

  1. Hey, I am from thebump MC board. Just spent a few minutes getting to know you and reading your blog. I wanted to say hey and thank you for sharing about your little Gabe. It has only been 2 weeks since we found out our twins had no heartbeats and every day has been a struggle.

    We are also Dave Ramsey fans and a sucess story. Paid off 10k in 1 year. We have been out of dept ever since, except for these new medical bills, but we WILL pay them off as quickly as possible. Good luck to you!
