    Hi friends,

    Down to 170 on Friday so a total of 4lbs over the past couple of weeks. Still would like to lose 6lbs in the next 18 days ---but not sure if that will happen or not. But I am back on track and doing what feels right. Work is still insanely busy now and that has stressed me to the ma

    Dinner out last night *warning food porn* YOU HAVE Been Warned-
    Metro Diner in Nashville ---awesome :)<3
    shrimp and grit cakes stuffed with cheddar cheese, red peppers and chives.....I ate about half of it

    Hi ya'll,

    Happy pre 4th to you! Plan on weighing early tomorrow prior to the long 4th weekend. Our offices are closed the rest of the week which is so awesome!! So super nice 4 day weekend although it will be super busy. 4th party grill out tomorrow with friends/fam coming over, Friday lots of errands to run, Saturday my youngest has his end of season baseball party at the pool, and Sunday is church and preparation four our VBS which is next week.

    Monday --our office is moving into new office space which is super nice!!! But that will be such a busy work day getting all set up........whew!

    Enjoy the 4th! Hugs to everyone! <3

    Hi Friends,

    OMG it was such a crazy busy weekend and I mean to take lots of food pics but totally failed at that so I will do my best to recreate what we had over the past weekend.

    Thursday --July 4th we grilled out dogs, homemade potato salad, pasta salad, baked beans, flag cake.

    Friday, ribs, white beans, left over sides, and fresh grilled zucchini and squash

    Saturday ---pool party for my youngest baseball team, we had pizza/salad for my OMAD

    Sunday, out to our fave Mexican place, Chuys, chili releno pepper, chicken enchilada, green chilie rice and ref, beans.

    This is a crazy busy week at work and my pre-beach week......so I will do my best to keep up!

    Happy Monday ya'll <3

    I am going to be brave and do this......Thanks to @mistymeadows2005 for putting her before/after pictures out there, I was thinking have I really changed? And over the past weekend I thought you know i have, maybe I can inspire others.....so here goes....

    The first pic was toward the end of 2017 before I got serious with changing once and for all. At my highest I was about 220 or 230....YIKES...

    And while I am not done yet, right now I am at 168.....and am feeling better than ever. Not at maintenance yet but am slowly getting there.....

    Thanks girl.....it was sickening almost to view the "old me" just so ughhh.....but you get to that point where enough is enough and I was totally there when I got serious about the change.
    Still not to UGW yet, but so close.....the spinning has helped a lot in terms of shaping, but still a work in progress :).....

    Love ya too girl <3
