The highest compliment!

To fully enjoy this success, a little back story is in order. My fiance and I have been together almost 2 years now, but we dated back in high school. When we met up again, I had a baby 2 months prior.

Before my pregnancy I was in a very bad relationship and I was very unhealthy. I weighed 100lbs soaking wet. During my pregnancy I got my head straight, and then some, and gained 60 pounds!! After I had the baby, I was still 150ish...which didn't sit well, to me, on my 5'4 frame. However, Ian (my fiance) still thought I was beautiful..and we became an item. I didn't look anything like I did in High School, and he's fit as a fiddle. Made for a few self-esteem issues but I know he loves me very much.

Here recently I've been really trying to get myself into shape. Trying to resemble the person I once was. After my daughter, my arms were quite flabby (in fact I probably could've taken flight at one point), my tummy has the evil "roo pouch", my chin somehow doubled itself, and my thighs had their own zip code.

For the past few months I have become the queen of Netflix workout videos..which really helped get me started. Then a wonderful friend turned me on to this awesome kickboxing video I can't get enough of. I've personally noticed my arm fat melting off, my legs are more tone, and my face resembles itself from pre-pregnancy. Really small changes that you'd have to really be looking at me to notice.

This morning I woke up to my fiance getting ready for work. He sat on the bed and talked to me for awhile and when I got out from under the covers he said, and I quote "Wow, babe. You DO look really good. Your arms have really thinned out. Wish I didn't have to go to work so soon."

Now THAT is motivation!! Sorry for gushing but HAD to share!! :-)
