lets play catch-up shall we?
My last check in was at week 17….we’re now at week 23!
At week 18 I was able to go down another 1/2lb which is good in my book and brought me down to a total of 32lbs at this point! So yes I have completely dedicate myself for being better, getting healthy, & not letting myself down. Even though the scale isn't moving as much Im still feeling good and most importantly happier!

| Week 18 |
With the craziness of Memorial Day I forgot to post that weeks update...after we got back from our trip cause of the holiday I went back up 2lbs bringing the total to 30lbs down at week 19 but with that being said this then made me push harder this week to get back down to were I was to not lose momentum!

| Week 19 |
So with a fresh start & a ready mind to get back on track that week I was able to go back down to the 32lb total loss and ready to start week 21. These past two weeks were just a reminder that not every step of this process will be perfect but progress is still progress & just because there was a little set back that doesn't mean it's time to give up but rather be positive & work hard to move forward.

| Week 20 |
It's hard when you hit that wall after so many weeks of progress and I think that wall has come...and the only way to move past that is to push harder & remind myself that the finish line is close its right there & not to lose momentum just because the scale is starting not to budge as much...it was bound to happen...but that's ok cause the clothes are fitting better and better & I'm still feeling the difference not only physically but emotionally too! So no changes in the scale since last week...BUT finally decided to step away from my go to A-Line cut skirts and be brave and go with a pencil skirt today! This is good enough progress for me!

| Week 21 |
With summer in full swing and the craziness of life I have been bad with my updates but that doesn't mean I've given up not in the slightest! So total loss through week 22 is another 1lb down so that's consistently 1/2lb a week and I'm good with that cause any type of progress is good progress right? Total loss 31lbs as of right now & down 2 almost 3 dress sizes and fitting into pre-pregnacy shorts - high fives for that!

| Week 22 |
So at week 23 were down 31lbs & feeling good! If i keep beat myself up over the weeks where there isn't much progress I'm just going to be hurting myself and really what good is that! I already can say that Im not anywhere near where I was when I started in January and I still have 5 months to go before the end of the year! The thing about all this is that no matter what hurdles may come or those days where I may have fallen off track…theres always tomorrow to get back up and get back on track.

Theres no giving up and if that means starting over tomorrow thats ok because like I've said in the beginning this is about living a healthy lifestyle, making healthy changes, and looking forward to the positive things. I’m human and sometimes that piece of chocolate is calling my name you have to enjoy the little things in life as long as its done in moderation! you still want those things to be a treat! With that being said Im happy at where I am and look forward to working hard towards my goal! I love that now when I look at the mirror Im happy at what I'm seeing, Im able to smile, to not feel as self conscious as i once did at what I looked like! Im able to really see that God made me beautiful and I want to embrace that while working to become the best me that I can!
