NEW RESULTS!!!!!

So, I have been changing my lifestyle, trying to loose weight, and finding myself again over the last year!  Lately I have stayed away from the scale because I find that I get discouraged -- so I just continue to eat REAL food, exercise, and have a positive attitude.  But for some reason today, that damn scale was haunting me, so I decided to stand on it!  And after I did, a BIG smile appeared on my face.  I HAVE LOST ANOTHER TEN POUNDS!!!!!! Since December 2011, I have lost about 50lbs!  In the last 3 months, I have lost about 30lbs!  I have gone from a size 16 (I think) to a size 10!  I still have a ways to go, to be where I want to be, but this is HUGE!!!!!  This has not been because of some fad diet, this is just the results of wanting something, and being tired of making excuses.

Starting last January, I decided it was time to change my life -- it was a slow start, but I started to get out there and be more active!  I sort of started watching what I was eating, but allowing myself some "cheat" days.  I lost a little weight, but I wanted more, and I knew I had to really make a change to get the results I really wanted.

In August I started eating PALEO. I started feeling better!  In September I did the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge.  I started feeling even better!  In October I started Camp Gladiator Bootcamp (again)!  I started feeling even better!  Now, I eat paleo, continue to take AdvoCare products, and work out 3-4 days a week!  I feel better than I have in my entire life!  I am also working again!  What a difference a year makes!  What a difference a change in attitude makes!  I will say that it is so worth it!

Honestly, it is not even about the weight loss anymore -- it is about being healthy and treating my body right!  I was tired of feeling crappy, so I did something about it! I stopped making excuses, and allowing my insecure thoughts get in the way!
