Lets Celebrate...

I had a great weekend with family celebrating my nieces 1st birthday!!

  

Castles in the Sand...

In honor of the summer season I thought I would share some of these amazing sandcastles that I can across.

4th weekend...

 I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th of July. 

I enjoyed the parade with my nieces and then we watched a movie under the starts before we lit  some sparklers...a perfect holiday weekend.

 

Happy 4th of July!!!

Everyone enjoy the glitter in the sky this 4th of July!

oh yes...

finally back to me . . .

Every year getting healthy and loosing weight is one of my New Years Resolution, I think this is the first year that I can say I was successful. As some of you may know I have been doing a rather crazy diet for the past 5 month. I have be eating beyond clean, working out like crazy, and have been doing a supervised diet with my doctor. It has been a crazy few months that have taught me an incredible amount about myself. I went in to my doctor last week for a final weigh in, even though I can see the results in the mirror hearing the numbers were another story all together. Here are the stats . . .

Overall Lost:

• Total Weight Loss: - 42.2 pounds
• Body Fat: 10% lost
• Dress Sizes Change: - 6 sizes
• Jean Size Change:  - 5 sizes 

Total Inches Lost:

• Waist: - 6 inches
• Hip: - 4 inches
• Chest:  - 3.75 inches
• Arms: - 3.25 inches
• Thighs: - 3.75 inches
• Knees: - .75 inches
• Neck: - 1 inches

Looking at these images  I still can not believe the difference. I still have a little ways to go to get to where I want to be but I think I have already gotten through the hardest part. I started a healthy journey and I am determined to stay on it.

let the adventure begin...

Yesterday was the first day of summer...let's see what it holds!!

Happy Father's Day...
