On a Journey We Will Go.......

Soooooo I’ve officially hit my one month mark with my personal training sessions. Ya’ll best believe it’s been a rocky road!!! However, a couple of days ago I stumbled upon what I looked like in December 2011…..can we say whooooooooaaa!! (Mind you that was 5 months ago) I was shocked because I didn't know how I looked like this or better yet how I was oblivious as to how I looked. Ayyyy Dios!!!! 

But it does explain my aversion to full length pictures. (I’ve never been confident enough about my body in order to do so). However, if I'd taken some before December 2011 I may have discovered what was really going on. Can we say "reality check!" 


Granted, I am nowhere near where I would like to be but it seems as though I’ve made some progress. I know this weight loss journey was supposed to begin back in January, well actually it was supposed to begin a few years back but I always let something get in the way. I’m determined not to do that ever again.  

Anywho I’m sure  ya'll are waiting for the photos  so I’ll post them shortly. I’ll mention that my eating habits aren’t exactly on par but that will be the next step in my journey . I’ve got to get a handle regarding my food intake and sugar intake so I've got to do whatever it takes!! Anywho I won’t prolong any longer. The first photos are from December 2011 and the next set of photos are from April of 2012. Mind you, I’ve been truthfully on the journey since February and I’ve basically just been exercising more. I’m just recently starting to get a handle on my eating. Ok..ok..ok..here are the pics…lol…..

Project 100: Losing 100 pounds while Keeping it 100 at All Times

I’m a plus size girl living in a slim girl’s world. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely adore my curves and see them as being quite sexy.  However, as of late my curves are taking an entirely new direction. Because of this I know my overall health is at stake.  Since I don’t desire to make this weight loss goal a New Year’s Resolution I’ve made the decision to start today and make some changes in my way of eating and my overall health.

About two years ago I lost 60 pounds and was quite impressed with myself.  I was feeling good and in looking fine. (#yup)  However, life and its disappointments (and possibly God’s way of humbling me) somehow got in the way and I found myself digging deep in the cookie jar yet again. As a result my weight has since skyrocketed and although I’m not where I was…I’m one candy bar short of being extremely overweight again. 

Because I promised myself that I would never get there again I have decided to take control of my health and work on my self-image.  I know what it’s like to be slender as well as overweight. Of these two lifestyles I believe being healthy is the best decision I can make for myself.  I’ve decided to chronicle this adventure and welcome any suggestions, tips and encouragement…. I’m not anticipating this to be a perfect journey (Seriously, who would) but I am determined to get my hustle on and reach my goal…so stay tuned for Project 100 updates…It’s certain to be a true journey…. #Let’s Go
