New goals, annnnd Go!

Ok so I had my first go round with Herbalife and actually met my goal. Call me crazy but I set lots of small goals, that way I celebrate more often ha ha. I went to my pounds jar and emptied all the little stones that I moved over from "Pounds to lose" into "Pounds lost" and started all over.

So I had a little bit of a celebration weekend, didn't really gorged, but I had a few cheat meals and I am back on it today. I have to tell you, my gut is not happy that I cheated on my meal plans. I am all kinds of bloated, I can't even suck this in!
But this time I am not doing it alone! My coffee stand beauty Liz actually started with me! I am so excited to see her results! She is getting married this September and is just itching to lose the last bit of weight she has. I just know she will rock this.


Now that it is May, Warmer weather is started to hit the Pacific Northwest. Its just a normal spring, 70 today, 65 and raining tomorrow. We take what we can get lol. But when all else fails and i work too long to be able to float the river, I just keep reminding myself that in 241 days i will be resting my skinny ass on some white sanded beach in Cabo. F*ck ya! worth the lifestyle change, worth the pain of the work out, all worth it.

Addiction

I have always heard that working out can be addicting. Then I actually started working out and weirdly I got addicted to it. But I found this ad on MSN.com that really struck me. it was called 10 strange things you get addicted to living a healthier lifestyle.  And I have to say I completely agree.

I know that before I started using Herbalife  I had like...wished I could be skinny, and wished I had the drive to eat healthier or wake up early to work out. But it just kept getting pushed back. I famously kept saying " Monday ill start, or beginning of the month ill start" Like I needed a special day to come along and MAKE me do it.

Well I jumped and ordered Herbalife. Suddenly I saw results fast, and living healthy became and addiction. I wanted to see what I could do next. So it started with eating. I would chose better options...I chased the number on the scale that kept taunting me. So when I kept watching the number go lower I started to think, what could I do to see my pant size go down. So not only did I start eating better, suddenly I found myself waking up an hour earlier just to work out. And it wasn't like a huge work out, but I would do yoga one day, weights the other, jumping jacks and before I knew it I had an entire routine down.

I could literally say that I was addicted to the way that I felt, being healthy. Everyone noticed. My attitude was better, I was more confident. And the confidence definitely spilled into the bedroom if you know what I mean ;)

So seriously , check out that site, read it and figure out what it is that YOU can do to chase that awesome high of feeling amazing.

BTW here is a sneak of my progress....check out dem legs!!!
Before I was thicker than a snicker, After, I am still thick in all the right places :)

 

 

Working Out

Ok I'm just gonna say it, im a flippin cheap ass. I make good money dont get me wrong, i just DONT want to spend it. THAT being said, I have been working out at home. Last year around tax time i got all jazzed up about the potential hot summer body i was going to have so i bought an eliptical thing from walmart.,I had this vision that i was going to set it up on my massive deck and just go downtown to pound town on it. Well it stayed a thought and i got on the bitch like once, ok twice but just to prove a point to my husband that i did it more than once.  So thus it is tax season again. No i didn't buy another one, i just set the old one up just in case i wanted to try again...i think that day is coming. But in the mean time i have been doing other little work outs. My Herbalife Coach Dalis sent me all kinds of awesome work outs. I have to tell you, I woke up so damn sore this morning, it kinda felt good...you know the good kind of burn. I felt like an idiot while i was doing them because it had been so long. But i found this picture and it totally confirmed that im not the only idiot who looks like they are taking a piss on a hydrant.

I have noticed, that with all the work outs that i am doing ( i put 5 pound weights on my ankles when i do this BTW) MY weight NUMBER has stalled, but i take weekly pictures and i can definitely see the difference.
I freaked out the first few days i didn't see a change in my number on the scale. I not so calmly text my Dalis and freaked out. She politely told me to calm my tits and realize that what i was doing was burning fat and gaining muscle. Hense seeing the difference on my body and not the difference in the scale.
That one was hard i am honestly addicted to my scale. So my husband did what any gentleman would do, He hid the fucker. Awesome, so now im freaking out and can't find my scale. But hey, maybe being a nervous wreck for another week will help.

Ok love ya weirdos. Hope you all are doing well! Here is to another Herbalife Week!

[[ Mashed potatoes ?! ]]

I remember about, 3 or 4 years ago I went to a water park with my son and a friend and her family, I mean I didn’t look too bad in my bathing suit but I wasn’t tight and toned by any means. my son was only 2 at the time so I was definitely taking time taking the weight off.

 But I was in line with my friend to go down this water slide, and I heard the snot faced brat kids behind us laughing, so I slightly turned my head and noticed they were pointed at my ass, and one of them said, “its like mashed potatoes” I knew INSTANTLY those little punks were talking about my cellulite. I was so upset I turned around and I said “ya, well my man happens to LOVE mashed potatoes you little shit. “ Yes yes yes I know that was NOT the best reaction to give. But it happened, not my finest moment. Later that night I did what any person would do, I got drunk and cried. Did this kid NOT know that I struggled with my weight, Did this kid NOT know that I was insecure?!

OF COURSE HE DIDN’T!! he’s just a dang kid… and in all fairness, it does look like mashed potatoes. And as much as I love mashed potatoes, I do not like the back of my legs looking like it.

So this picture might be a cartoon, but in all honesty, I am definitely the one on the left. All crumply and stuff. But Just like I am taking control over my weight, I have to know that just losing weight wont fix everything. So I am now taking the mashed potatoes off the menu!

I am here every step of the way for those who want it,

Dun Dun Dun!!!!

Ok doll faces, Its official, I'm an independant Distributor for #Herbalife!!! Like I said I will document this every step of the way for anyone who is interested in watching how it goes before just jumping on board. I wont tell you any of the amazing secrets, I'll show ya just enough to get you excited then BAM youre sucked in and I promise it will be the best sucked in you ever got ha ha ha. Bare with me its early and that sounded lame.

So it's only been a day since I signed up and I already have nothing but awesome things to say about the company. It was a little bit of a rough start, signing up was a little difficult BUT only because it was user error on my end. I had a dur dah dur moment and used the wrong card...But customer service was beyond friendly and i had a lot of dumb questions and they still treated me like i was the smartest person in the world...Not even kidding #bonus!

And when I was setting up my website they actually sat me through a seminar type thing to inform me of the right way to use it and the appropriate steps to take to ALWAYS ensure 100% customer satisfaction..Always. And at the end of the seminar we have to take a quiz and pass with 80% or higher to even get your website. It sounds crazy but if i was just a customer, it would make me feel a helluva lot better know that the person who is taking care of me was actually taught how to.

Ok so anyways. here is my website URL

:: Today is THE day ::

So I have been researching many things to find my way to healthier living. I had been an advocate for Advocare for many years. 4 to be exact. It worked when I needed it to, but it was more of an instant gratification kind of loss that I did about 3 times a year. That being said its clear that it was nothing that I could even maintain. I did the 24 day challenge 2 times a year and the 10 day cleanse in the middle. It was a good way to start of my year, but I was looking for a good way to actually live my life looking and feeling great. Over the past year I have been researching Herbalife. I had been speaking with my coach Dalis a few times here and there over the year. She wasn't pushy at all which was clue number one, The products would speak for themselves. I finally saw results first hand from a girl i used to go to school with. She lost 30 pounds in just 3 months. The more I researched I found out that this wasn't just a get skinny quick scheme, this was something that could be maintained through life.

So today I am signing up to be an Independant distributor and ordering my first 3 months of product. I will keep you updated with progress pictures and numbers. Ill post updates to my Twitter and my Instagram accounts also.

Today my weight is 167. Being 5'6 I'm a little chubby thats no secret lol. But my goal is to get down to 130. I will post my Before and After picture together. I just looked at my before and realized there is now way in HECk I was going to show that off ha ha ha ha not until i looked as good as i wanted to.
