Keep Pushing Ahead!!

My sisters have both been amazing since I started my #newmein2017 healthier lifestyle journey.  They have supported me, encouraged me, busted my ass when I strayed off task, and been a huge cheering section.  My older sister, Sherie, even sends me motivational memes almost everyday and I love getting them.  She seems to always know which one I need to see that day.  The most recent meme she sent me said :  You are too smart to be the only thing standing in your way!"  This is my new motto.

I am officially down 27 pounds since 2/9/17 and I feel so much better.  I do NOT ever want to go back to where I was.  My goal is to lose 200lbs.  So I am 1/8th of the way to my goal.  Do I still have days when I ask myself why am I doing this? What's the point?  YES< I do, but then I look over the blogs I have written and the Facebook posts I have made and I read the comments people have said about me inspiring them, and it makes me realize that the strong, independent, southern girl my momma raised me to be is still inside me deep deep down and she is straining to get free again.  I am embracing myself and my journey.

I have to keep pushing myself.  I keep switching up my workout routine a little just to keep my body guessing.  So far I am successful.  I am super excited to share my journey with my friends, and hope that maybe some of them will get on board with what I am doing and we can travel together.
