It Starts

Hey Y'all! 

Welcome to my tiny little spot on the internet! This blog was created after having so many people on Instagram & In life tell me how much they loved the way I did my make-up, and since I am a make-up whore and go through it like toilet paper, I figured a blog needed to be started! 

This blog will also follow me on my weight loss journey, Jan 25th of 2013 I joined Weight Watchers, and today April 21st of 2013 I have lost 30lbs! I do NOT consider this a diet, no, this is a complete lifestyle change, and changing something you are so used to is hard, it was SO much easier to grab a quick burger or pizza, and sit down smother it in ranch and down 3-4 pieces, now cutting out the bad foods, I feel 100x better and healthier! Along with WW I am also counting calories on Myfitnesspal.com (my username is tnmorelock, follow me!) And I do believe that MFP has put in perspective more than anything what I put into my body. 

I am also training for my first Color Run, Yea I know a 5k isnt much, but for someone who started off EXHAUSTED after just walking 1.56 miles in 30mins, this 5k is gonna be awesome! My current mile time is 13.52. not bad, def not great! I still have a LONG way to go but progress is the BEST form of motivation!

The first picture is me, Jan 2013, at a whopping 235 POUNDS (frightening huh?) I got on the scale this morning, one said 203.7 and the other 205.4 (I have a total of 4 scales, insane I know) so I am right around 30lbs lost, I want nothing more than to get to ONEderland, and continue my journey towards my goal of 135, for a total of 100lbs lost! My BMI had gone down also, I started at 43 and now am at 37.6! Progress is progress people! 

Weight has always been an issue in my life, growing up with a beautiful size 3 mother in a world full of kids who gave you hell if you were bigger than a size 7. I have tried almost every diet fad out there, but always failed due to the lack of will power and REALLY wanting it. But this time is different, now it's time for change and happiness! As you can see from the picture above I will be getting married, in exactly 159 days to be exact! Trying on a size TWENTY wedding dress really put everything in to perspective to me, I did NOT want to be a fat bride, a fat wife and eventually a fat mother. Being obese would mean trimming years off my life and cutting the time I got to spend with my family. I will be fit. I will. There is no question to it. by my wedding day, I would like to be at 170lbs. ATLEAST 170lbs, hopefully less!

So welcome, and join me in Tracking Traci through life, weightloss, make-up and cats of course ;)
