Good Morning Slimsons and Welcome to Week 3!!

It seems like a lot of us are struggling right now and it's pretty common at this point in a new routine for it to get tougher as motivation is starting to fade but don't let it!! Imagine yourself a few months from now and think about how good it will feel when you're lighter and have more energy. Picture it (it's hard I know) but it helps me to think about what my end game is and the only way to get there is to do the work, hard as it is. You CAN do it and you ARE worth it!! Don't let others get in your way and don't let your inner voice tell you that you can't, because you can (even if it's baby steps).

I am about to share something that I've never shared with anyone, and it's been a decision I've been trying to make for weeks now. This is something I can't even bring myself to share with family and friends since for some reason they all doubt me, still. (also I have trust issues and don't want people stealing my pictures to sell things without my permission, especially when this is alllll my hard work.) Also, on a side note, I'm not photogenic for some annoying reason and the second photo (I realize now that I was making a weird face, but was more concerned about how the shirt looked at the time) was me a few weeks ago when I had to get a new shirt for a job interview. It's a large, I was wearing a 3x when I started actually trying to get in shape in June of 2017. This first photo was taken by my mom 3 years ago when my niece was a new born at Christmas. I didn't know she took the photo and I found it last year when I was making a collage for her for Mother's Day and that was all it took for me to realize how far I'd gotten and I needed to make a change. And now here I am. I hired a personal trainer and that's been a life changing experience. She's really kept me going when I felt like giving up and then I found this group and my motivation has gotten even stronger. There IS strength in numbers and this is why I'm here everyday. I really hope sharing my story helps some of you who can't see yourself months from now, or even years from now, because I couldn't either and now I can't wait to see myself in another few months.



Okay, enough about me for now, you guys are doing great, and I know we will only get better!!

Not a surprise as I only made two workouts last week, and ate poorly. I got sick last week and fell apart. I'm still feeling lousy but I will eat better this week and at least get 4 workouts in, I may have to modify but the point is to keep moving.

Have a great week everyone!
