Weight loss

For those of you who know me, you know I have been on a weight loss journey most of my teen and adult life. My husband and I had our second child on July 24, 2012. On September 1st, just a few days before my 6 week check up after having Graysen via cesarean section I decided since he was our last child, that this is my time, and thus my weight loss journey really began. I say really because I got on a weight loss kick last year, lost some weight, and I kept it off, until I got pregnant. Since September 1, 2012, I have been active at least twice a week, more the month of September because I didn't go back to work from maternity leave until October 1st. Since then I have been doing a number of things to lose weight from biking, I LOVE biking, to walking with the occasional rare jogging in there, elliptical, 2 days (yes only 2 days) of boot camp, Zumba, I LOVE LOVE Zumba, eating better and I even started using some AdvoCare products that I love daily and I even did a 24 day challenge. I didn't try Zumba until September of this year and wish I would have gotten on that band wagon sooner as I love it! After coming home from having Graysen, I weighed a whooping 261# pounds. On September 1st when I weighed in I was 245 and at my pre-pregnancy weight. At my last weigh in on 11/24/12, I weighed in at 228.6. I'm working my way down the scale and have an ultimate goal of about 145 or happy and healthy! A 100 pound difference from my pre-pregnancy weight, but I truly believe I can accomplish this goal. My first goal I set for myself is to be 220, a loss of 25 pounds by December 31st. I have 8.6 pounds to go which isn't impossible. I may or may not achieve it by December 31st, but I will get it done! I am too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful and too determined to be defeated!

I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as the mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it would move. Nothing would be impossible. Matthew 17:20
