2yr Anniversary" SexyCook Moment In a Lifestyle" (Pic Heavy)

SexyLovinmeCook

Hi All, I wanted to share my 730 days of logging, commitment, and journey with you....I started my journey intially end of 2010 4yrs after the death of my mom, tons of emotional eating, and a not so happy relationship. I have always been comfortable in my skin no matter the size..but something in me wanted to change.. I was weighing in at 207 pounds when I started MFP and my co-worker said that it was a good tracking tool, little did I know it would become my favorite place full of friends and what I call family now.

I am currently 5'4 /size 8-10 give or take. Weighing 143-146 depending on the day. I am not a fan of the scale and often do No Scale Challenges... I still have about 10 or so pds to go but regardless I feel great with my accomplishment...Happy to be healthier. I never imagine that I would get excited to talk to others about eating healthier and exercise. I have accomplished, my first 5k here, Met at least 30 of my pals, many have become my real life friends, and earned my Certification to Teach Group Power where I am instucting at my Gym, and encourage on my Youtube Channel .. The next step is to become a Personal Trainer get my Certification hopes of opening up my own fitness facility one day. I have always like to workout but now I LOVE IT...

I would be telling a lie if I said that it was easy and I never had bad days and loss consistently... NO....I gained some of my weight up to 12 pds during a brief 30plus days off the site....When I came back I realize that this journey is all about me and I will continue to inspire and get inspired from those I call true pals.. From that point on there has been no limits... Currently I am totally addicted to lifting weights and currently doing the Jamie Eason 12wLiveFit which I love. Initially starting this journey I was the Cardio Queen(which nothing is wrong) but eventually I wanted to sculpt and tone my body. The key is finding what works for you and keep trying things to you find it. Each day is a different day and continue to push yourself outside your comfort zone. You can have the health and body you want. Hope to inspire someone... Many Many thanks to the wonderful pals I have here... I truely LOVE my fit family here...
