Back to conquer!

Not too long ago, this summer, I had started my journey to get healthy. I was doing Crossfit, and even tried a little bit of Paleo. I have to say, I was probably at my best shape. I was very committed and then life hit me. My grandmother passed away in August. She is the only grandparent I have ever known and the first family member I've had to pass away. Let's say I didn't handle it in the best manner. I went home and the first thing to go away was my health and fitness. Being at home, food was my comfort. When I came back from my hometown, I just lost my mojo. I guess it was no longer important to me, and it's been like that for a while. I've noticed my clothes fitting me tighter, and my chipmunk cheeks come back. I kept telling myself, "well, the clothes still fits, just tight." This past weekend I went out with friends, and as we all know, girls love to take pictures! Those pictures were my wake up call.

This was me at my best:






This is me today:



And I just can't go back to this:






I can't do that to myself. I'm back! And I would LOVE any support that I can get. This community was key in my earlier success and I would love nothing more than to have that back

I liked reading your post. Because I also feel like if the clothes will fit then it is ok for them to be a little snug. Lol. But i am back on the road to slimming down and toning up. And Pictures are just awful reminders sometimes of our flaws. LOl
