Just Do It

As we talked about this past week:
Making this change to eat better and move more has to be a personal decision.
People can teach me things: I can learn it all.
But results come in the action.
You actually have to do something to have something happen. 

The amazing thing is that I am seeing results, even if I slip up, because my life has changed so drastically.
I no longer go through the drive-thru (unless it's for a Sonic drink!)  ... I used to go literally every day.
I don't eat 1,000+ calorie meals ... now it's more like  200-300ish per meal
I have learned the importance of eating cleaner to feel better.
I have learned about taking time for myself.
If that means at the gym or just sitting quietly by myself, I know that's important.
I am so grateful for what I have learned so far.
If you are going to begin a weight loss journey I will tell you one tip:
TAKE PICTURES!

I can't ever hardly see the results myself.
Even though the scale has gone down 41 pounds since starting and that my clothes are fitting better.
The pictures are what does it!
So, I'm being brave putting this on here, but I truly think it's important because....
#1. I wasn't able to see these results without these pictures.
#2. You can't suck in back-fat. So, I know this is real! 

The first picture is from January, this last picture is from Today! 

The best is when people ask "How are you doing it?" ... I'm doing it by doing what they have "all" said all along: Eat real food, eat small meals spaced out throughout the day, drink water, be active. That's it! There is no magic pill and no magic button. You have to do it!

Last weekend my puppy died. She was only about 7 years old, and had a stroke :(
She was a good pup and we are all gonna miss her!
Someday soon I will get a new puppy ... but not quite yet. 
So the picture on the right is from I think around Christmas time. The picture on the left is from this past Friday (May 26th) 

One Bullseye! Next 5-spot I got TWO bullseyes AND all arrows were inside targets! Practice makes Progress!

Being as it was Memorial Day weekend, my sister and I went and put flowers on our grandpa's grave. 


Learning this!
