Happy Mothers Day!

First Off, Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!

I have  been teetering on this post for a couple days, What to say, How to say it. First let me begin by saying  people need to STOP judging people by their looks. Its wrong, and As a woman I am guilty, Society has trained us this way and it is pathetic. Every person is amazing and beautiful in there own way. EVERYONE. Yes you, You are fucking gorgeous, Don't worry what ANYONE else thinks or says. Recently I have come to face someone who doesn't know me, that has judged me. Why does it bother me so much? I still have yet to figure that out. I guess I am too much of a "girly girl" for their liking, which is okay, but it still drove me crazy to think someone wouldn't like me because I take pride in the way I present myself, I mean shit it's obvious I am fat, the least I can do is make my fat ass look nice. Hiding behind make up and nice clothes gives me a bit more confidence. Is that so bad? And once again, society has made us think if we are not 5'10 and a size 0 then we are not good enough, when in reality is society that is not good enough.

 Some of my weight watchers sisters have lost a lot of weight and still feel bad about themselves from time to time, which happens to all of us but, Really ladies? ONCE AGAIN, you are fucking amazing. Inside and out. Every woman needs to hear this AND believe it. Tying this post into weight loss is easy, many times the over weight is easy, when a person looses weight, they will still see themselves as bigger, this would be called a mind fuck. I am the same way, Every day is still seems that I have not lost any weight and that I've seen no progress, but the scales and measuring tapes show different. And some days, I feel smaller. Our brains are a crazy thing. 

On an end note I want to say, next time you go to judge someone, stop, take a breath, and a step back, think about what you're doing, and how it can impact others, treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Hurt people, Hurt people. -Mama Laughlin. Don't compare yourself to others, you are not them. You are you, the amazing badass that you are, love it, embrace it and appreciate it. If everyone did this, the world would be a much much better place.

Inspiration, Motivation

I am baccckkkkk! and wanted to share a couple pics from our vaca away to FL

I am obsessed with how amazing they turned out and can't wait to see the rest! 

Now to the important stuff!

This morning, after a birthday, vacation trip to FL, craw fish boil, bud light,  fast food, and cake,I carried my fat ass back to the gym! Its been almost 2 weeks since my last visit. Pathetic I know!

 I was surprised, that I did not officially gain while gone, my last official WI was 205, Skipped a WI and looked when I got home Tuesday? 204.2. Great! But I must admit, it was harder to get back on track after vacation, than it was even starting this life style change. Today is day 3 back on track and I am doing great so far. Tried a Walden Farms Dressing with lunch, Def recommend trying it!

Now back to why I even started this post today, after a few days of eating shit, I felt like, well shit. It's so true, you ARE what you eat. I dreaded dragging myself to the gym this morning, at the ass crack of dawn, even dreaming that I had overslept and was talking myself out of it, and then I woke up, 6am on the dot, no alarm nothing, just mother nature telling me to get my ass outta bed and go work out! So I did! Got there about 6:45am, and first thing got on the elliptical, it is like as SOON as my feet hit the machine I had this HORRIBLE urge to pee, 15 mins, and a mile and a half later cleaned my machine, peed, and actually felt great, hot, sweaty, but great. Got on the bike, did 7 miles, in 30 mins, with my rpm getting up to 114! These short little legs kicked that bikes ass! After that did some leg workouts, and actually felt stronger, I felt like, shit, I got this, I CAN do this. Sometimes, you have to be your OWN motivation and inspiration! There are days I feel like I haven't made any progress since I started, and then today, it was nothing big or extravagant  just moving that leg lift up 10lbs and doing it with ease, and it gave me that extra UMPH I needed. That satisfaction! No matter what happens in your road to healthy, DON'T GIVE UP, ever. With time and hard work, you can reach your dreams!
