Merry Christmas to me!


Look at this gorgeous Christmas gift I got from my husband. The gift that keeps on giving ;)
<---------


I got this today with the intention of being 2 weeks ahead of the new years resolutioners. Those people I used to despise when I worked out 7 days a week. Every year on January 1st there wasn't an open treadmill to be found for the next 3 months.

I start tomorrow at 8:30am with a personal coach I will have for 8 weeks. I'm psyched. I feel better than I have felt in a very long time except for the fact that I'm still lugging around and extra friends worth of weight. I can do this. I can stick to it and next year at this time, be 100 pounds lighter.

I'm starting over once again. This time I'm in a really good place. I even gave my blog a temporary makeover.

Stay tuned for a new years post I'm working on. There will be pictures and there will be a fun calorie plan for the year. In the meantime, I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last few days before Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone!!

  13. Hi, visiting for the first time. What a great plan to get a jump start on everyone else. I think you'll really like working out with a coach too. I started with a trainer 6 weeks ago and feel it was exactly what I needed to give myself that kick in the butt that I needed.

    I look forward to reading about your experiences.

  15. My name is Ghada and I also have a health & fitness blog www.smallworldbeauty.com.

    I was writing to offer you a free sample of my new sugar free protein bars.

    SmallWorld Beauty's Coconut Coco Cream Protein Bars are sugar free, gluten free, high in protein and contain 2 g Net Carbs.

    After losing over 10 dress sizes, I was inspired to formulate supplements that will help boost weight loss efforts and overall health.

    You deserve to love your life more, so why not start now? When it comes to losing weight or just breaking a bad habit, sometimes we as women just need that extra push to get us started. Combine this delicious snack with proper nutrition and exercise, and boost your efforts toward achieving that healthy body that you've always dreamed of. Whether you're watching your carbs and trying to add more protein to your diet, you'll find this bar to be just perfect!

    I would love your thoughts on my site and for you to test my protein bars! I look forward to working with you!
