So late..... Major updates!

So apparently I did a not so great job at keeping this blog going like I wanted to... After being inspired by some others and their blogs I decided I better get back to it!
I want to be inspiring to others and to have a way to remember all this.

After I met Aaron I took a wonderful trip of a lifetime to Vegas for Miss America.  It was very tough because getting in the work outs and food properly was more than challenging.  However, when I came back from Vegas I had lost 11 pounds-- clearly overly happy!!!

Now it's March 23rd and I've been on this journey for over two months.  Some days have been happy and some not as happy.

Through this time so far Aaron has provided me with a cardio plan, as well as strength training for my arms and legs. Not much has changed about what I eat and some days the fact of the same thing every day is more than I can handle.  But it's working so what more can I ask for?

To say this journey has been challenging would be an understatement.  It's definitely something I never thought I could do.  I talked about it all my life and now I'm doing it.  It's an empowering feeling to be where I am now. As of last Sunday when I saw Aaron I had lost 32 pounds.  I'm smaller now than I remember being in at least 10 years or longer. 
I love having clothes to not fit because they are too big for once, and not because they are too little. 

I just want everyone who is a part of my life to know how much I appreciate the support and encouragement.  It means more than I could ever tell you.  I've had friends from high school stop me and say I look great or I amaze them with my progress and even my sweet 25 students told me this past week that I look like I've been losing weight since I've been eating healthy.  That my friends- is the best compliment ever.

I am striving forward in this journey and plan to keep on going until I reach or surpass my goals.  No matter how long it will take.  And I will do better on this blogging thing.. :)
