Checking in...

Hey everyone!!

I hope everyone is doing well.

I just want to say that I admire anyone and everyone who is on their fitness journey.

It is such an adjustment and those people need to be acknowledged.

The reasoning behind that is because there is some words going on behind my back by a few people in my personal life.

Things are being said that are untrue and it just sickens me when others doubt someones journey.

For example, I heard that I am "cheating" on my weight loss journey. I'm still unsure how I am cheating considering I've just begun so I don't have a large amount of weight loss as of yet.

I also document my journey via pics and post nearly everyday on Instagram (follow me - fitmamaplus2).

Normally I would just turn the other way, but this one is personal. No one has the right to judge where anyone else is at during their journey. Remember everyone starts somewhere.

I think it's really sad and petty for people to do that to others.

BUT...

This is what I'm going to do with the situation.

- First I'm just going to smile at those who are saying this.

I truly feel bad that they need to say something in order to make themselves feel important.

- Second I'm going to "eat my salad, no dessert" and just fuel my body for this change. And yes I'll more than likely eat it in front of them as well...reason because I work with them lol

- Third I'm going to continue to workout like always and just have my body transform before their eyes.

I truly see them as motivators because I LOVE LOVE LOVE to prove others wrong.

- Fourth I'm just going to do me and encourage anyone who wants to begin their journey.

It doesn't matter where you are on your journey, just keep going and have any negative people or words be your motivator. You never see your "hater" doing better than you. Well from what I've seen...

Here is to change & motivation!!

Love ya!!

I LOVE food.

Food is my hardest battle.

Food is the solutions to all my issues except when it comes to clothes shopping, then I hate my food relationship.

After the shopping is done, then the food and I are back on like nothing ever happened.

It's sad.

I've been trying to count my calories lately and that is tough!
I am trying to still figure out what and when I should eat so I am not starving within an hour.
This is definitely a learning process that is for sure!

I'm slowly learning about how to truly read labels and understanding what all the "bad" ingredients really mean.
I've always known how to read label, but never really paid much attention.
Holy shit I didn't realize how much stuff goes into our food!
BUT it's still a learning process, and it's a tough road considering I love anything and everything salted and fried...
FATGIRLPROBLEMS...

Anywho, I'm trying to see what works for my body.
I noticed how my eating habits are effecting my mood, energy, and exercise.
I suppose this is why they say it's a journey.
Completely true!

Also I've noticed how much of a mental battle it is when trying to lose weight. I try to push myself during my workouts. I feel like quitting and I literally have to shout in my head NOOOO!!! just to keep going. I have tell myself just get to this point and once I get there I give myself a new point to reach.

Yesterday was an EPIC day for me.
1. I ran (fast walk-job/fat girl bounce) my fastest mile yet. I'm a slow runner and I'm ok with that. But I've improved my mile by a total 2.5 minutes!!!
2. I've done the most miles I've ever done. 10.77 miles were completed yesterday!! Yes my feet were numb, I felt like a wet noodle, and I was dizzy, but the moment I was done, felt incredible. I couldn't believe I did that!
3. After seeing what I was able to do yesterday truly made me see how we have the ability to change and challenge our bodies! It's amazing!

So with all of this stuff going on, it seems like I've encouraged a few people at work, so on Monday I am starting a Weight loss Challenge at work. My girls there are excited and look at me for inspiration! Can you believe that I could be that for someone?! I still can't believe it!

It truly motivates me to keep going. I have a long way to go but I'll get there one day, and the fact that I'll get there is all that matters to me.

My weight loss goal is 90lbs.
GAG! I know.
Originally it was 100lbs, but I've lost 11lbs so now it's down to that #. I figured I'll just post my monthly progress pics which is normally when you can see the difference.
Hope my pics motivate anyone who reads this!

Have a great day!

MILF in progress

Hola Divas!

I know I know...I went MIA again.

Let me just say that I've been busy...

Busy being a MILF...in progress. Haha.

I've been working out about 5-6 days a week for about a month now. All together I've officially lost 7 pounds. I thought I only lost 1 pound, but I came across a note with my cringe worthy weight written down on it. :) WIN!

Also just last week, I lost 3 1/2 inches :) Another WIN!

I've also been watching what I eat and make sure that I eat below a certain amount of calories that is specified for my weight loss journey.

Let me just say, this is a hard and long road and I've only scratched the surface. I can't wait until I'm further along this road to REALLY see results.

Damn it, I'm a MILF in progress :)

Also you should follow me on IG: Singlemamaplus2

Pic time!!
