Let me explain.. (repost)

A tad bit CONFUSING
 

So, I have a few blog readers a tad bit confused.. I just want to clear something up.. LOL.. If you are one of my blog reader and the last post you read was from December and I was on the 8^th day of my second 30 day challenge and now I’m giving hair tips, protein tips and fitness quote, maybe I should do some EXPLAINING!! LOL..

So let me tell you about way weight loss ROLLER COASTER..

I started out my journey some years after I had my son (2002 or so) at 160ish.. I wasn’t the prettiest thing and was STRUGGLING with some self esteem issues and thought that if I was skinny everything would be better.. So I found out about this office you can go get B12 shots, Diet pills and you can lose weight fast! So I did that and went to the gym.. I got down to 146ish (I think) and then the office closed and I stopped with the pills and shot and guess what…. YUP I gained the weight back..

Then in 2004 or so.. I was back at it again I wanted to be pretty and feel better about me and I thought weight lost would fix it all.. So I started a program called LA Weight loss.. and I was on magic bars and a strict eating plan,had people to weigh and measures me and keep on track and I lost the WEIGHT again.. I got down to a nice 130ish.. (2005) Met the love of my life got married and got happy, went though up and downs of that and so did my weight..

(2009)I got up to a about 190 if not a little more.. So here is when I tried a little bit of everything… OTC diet stuff.. a little work out here and there.. not eating all that kinda stuff.. and I tried ONE final thing.. and I lost 40 pounds and for some reason my body didn’t like it and I gained it back.. So here I was December 2009 187 pound .. OMG!! I hate to even see the number and compare it to me.. Its so UNREAL that in 2005 I was about 130 pds just sexy.. Then over 6 years I put on 60+ pounds of happiness, love, stress, worry, and GOOD OL’ FOOD?! How could I let it happen.. I saw it, but I kept saying its just a few pounds “its water”, “I had to many drinks” BLAH BLAH LIES.. I had to find my WHY (the real reason I needed to lose the weight) and I did..

So I got in the gym had a trainer and worked my butt off planned out my meals and lost some weight then I couldn’t afford my trainer, so I had to finish it up on my own.. I lost 54 pds (at 133ish March 2010) with nothing but trial and error it was so HARD! And I know weight loss can happen if you have a plan in place and that is something I did not HAVE the first go around..

Another December breakdown (2011) I was back up 25ish pounds due to stress… I made up my mind I was tired of it all.. I was tired of letting the stress take over my body and not able to do anything about it!! Which my blog readers read my ups and downs.. So I this is where the you guys might have can in.. I was on my 2^nd 30 day challenge and I was doing good but still fighting with my stress and depression.. I had a few people joining me in my quest for health, but I didn’t feel totally ready for it myself.. I had to figure some things out before I really got serious and made change. I knew I was not mentally strong enough to lose the weight and keep it off for good.. And I love the way I was helping people.. I wanted to be a better role model and truly MAKE A DIFFERENCE..

I knew that total wellness, and balance was mental, physical and spiritual. I need to get all those thing in line.. I started out with a counseling session in order to get to the root of my personal issues.. I took a Mediation class and loved it. So I decided to take a course so I can teach others.. It was amazing! I’ve never felt a inter peace like that before! I renew my nutrition certification and I was already a certified personal trainer so it was time for me to train myself and lose this weight the right way.. I started back in the gym and home training.. really stuck to a eating plan that work for me and the weight started to come back off.. no count calories or starving… I started to train a few people in their homes for free just to help them and give them some help to start a home exercise program.. I really started to educate myself on my health I wanted to go “Clean” and I started to read up on Juicing the amazing affects of this.. I watched “Fat sick and nearly dead” and that was it.. I was sold.. I wanted juicing a part of my life. I wanted it apart of everyone’s life that I knew! I started juicing 1 time a day for about 2 weeks and I loved it but it wasn’t doing what I wanted it to do.. again I was feeling the need to short cut it.. But I went to my Doctor and I told him about what I was going thru.. He sat and talked to me for about a hour.. Really shaking me up.. about pills and shot and other things I have tried and was thinking of trying.. He told me that juicing was a great idea and I should just do a juice fast.. He told me to do a 15 day and he would monitor me.. But I told him I wanted to do a 30 day.. So I did!!

I finished my 30 day juice fast and I have been a different women since then.. I dropped that 25 pounds and then some.. I weighed in not to long ago at 120 pounds and I am HEALTHY and in shape.. I’m happy, and mentally, physically changed.. I am able to deal with stress and problems with out falling apart or sleep it away.. I am STRONGER.. My marriage is better, my family is better.. We are all getting health.. I have change my families food choices and activity level..

I started a Outdoor workout class and I am making a difference.. One person at a time!!

Check me out on Facebook, I’m working on a new goal, so come see what I am up too.. :)

This is only the beginning!
