One Year and Six Months

It's been One Year and six months since I started this journey.  Am I where I want to be? No....but I am still walking forward and fighting towards a healthier lifestyle.  It has been a frustrating year with a health set back, but I'm over that mountain and ready to move on.  Don't give up! Get back up and strive for new and better habits!!

Happy New Year! {2014}

Happy New Year....a new beginning.....a fresh start!


One year ago today I started my journey of a lifetime.  With a gym membership in hand, I was on my way to make some drastic changes!! And that I did! Am I done with my journey? Nope! It is a lifestyle change and it is still a work in progress.

After a year I am excited to say that I am down from a size 18+ to a size 12.  And there are fitness milestones that I have met too.  Some are that I have went from walking slowly on the treadmill to three miles on an elliptical in 36 minutes!  :o)

I logged 468 miles in 2013 on the treadmill and elliptical:





Am I going to stop after coming this far? No way! I haven't met my goals and I haven't completely broke some bad habits.  I found that out over the holidays!!  But, that is okay.  I am a work in progress.  I am going to get back up because it is a new year.....a fresh start!!
