I am not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions.

As I sit here getting ready to write my first post since who knows when, I keep thinking, how did I get here, and what happened?

I started this year very strong and dedicated, and then what happened?  I wish I could really point my finger to a particular circumstance or point in time where things went wrong, but ultimately it was my decision to STOP and go completely backwards.

I gave up eating right and I stopped going to the gym. And the result from this?… I currently weigh more than I have in 4 years!!! I haven’t seen 160’s since after I had my son!

So…where do you go from here?  Where do you find your motivation again? What pushes you to do better?

Well, I started with my basics.  I started eating right again.  I track everything that enters my mouth.  And as hard and tedious as it is, it really does help to think about everything that you eat.

Next, I got back in the gym.  I’m VERY sore and feel super weak. Even though I feel intimated again, I have to remember that this is for ME! I am doing this for ME.

My Goals?

-Weigh 135

-Complete in a competition

-Meal plan

-Workout 6x a week.

These are my goals! I am going to make sure and write them down every day so I don’t lose sight of what I want.
