Fitness is a Journey

I haven't shared in a while and thought it would help those on their own health journey. 
When I first started my journey back in 2011 I was depressed, overweight and ready to quit. It took family/friends telling me I was worth it and could do it and it took ME realizing I was worth it to succeed.

While I loved the gym (and still go) I also loved being able to do something at home and thus began ChaLean Extreme and drinking a Shakeology once a day. 90days later (and finding out I was pregnant with #3 through 1/2 the program): I lost 46.8 pounds and gained a new found self confidence. 

Since the initial weight loss I have lost an addition 15 pounds.  I will be honest and say it fluctuates.  I lose some and gain some but that is ok.  It is what the journey and life is all about.  I eat clean most of the time so when I choose to indulge I don't have regrets but enjoy it.  I have learned to love my body and have the self confidence I was lacking before.

Don't let self doubts, fears or anything hold you back.
