My 18 month life style change anniversary is in 19 days, but I just can't wait to post! For the first time ever I had New Year's Eve plans I want to show off my dress (hehe).

For the full back story you can check it out here :

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1056110-it-s-my-one-year-anniversary

Since last July a lot has happened. I moved out of my beloved Texas to a state I really can't stand. I started my masters program and my own strength and will were both tested as I am the only person in my department who:

a) attempts to take care of themselves and look professional
b) workout
c) doesn't drink myself to a beer belly and
d) brings my lunch

with all that said, I said my prayers and hoped I could just maintain. Losing weight wasn't in the cards. Took me forever to find a gym, a park to run in, and get into my usual routine after packing up a 21ft UHaul and moving cross country. To my surprise I did lose another size (probably due to the lack of TexMex) !

I would still like to tone up a bit and thats where my new years resolution lies, no more weight loss, just continuing what I am doing.

A few pics to show progress along the way. Feel free to message me or add me as a friend for support! And a quote from my last post, "So to conclude (and to those still reading, thanks!), you can do this. You are worth it. It won't be easy. You are going to have a bad day either eating, working out or both. It's really emotional. You won't ever be the same because you will be you at your absolute best."

    Haha kind of! My undergrad school colors were maroon and white and my grad school colors are red and white. I guess I do have a subtle attraction to deep reds!

    And thank you :)
