This is a big post for me. It's one over a year in the making. As mentioned before I really "started" my fitness journey just over a year ago when I stepped on the scale and it read...172.6! Honestly, I had my doubts I could do anything about it, but I really wanted to give it a good old fashion try! By February 1st I was down to 166! WHAT? In a month I had managed to loose nearly 7 lbs! Once I saw that I think it finally clicked that I could ACTUALLY take control of this and get somewhere!
This is around the time I started getting super super sick from what I later determined was food sensitivities. I invested in the 21-Day Fix program.
THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM! Especially for CHANGING the way you eat for good...not just for temporary!
I joined a challenge group, I was finally forced to take a "before" picture of myself, I showed nobody!! Granted, my "before" picture was after I had lost nearly 7 lbs, but better than nothing.
As February 1st of this year approached I thought it would be appropriate to finally do a side-by-side. I had done side-by-sides along the way but until this one, I couldn't see much of anything.
Ready...this is my first time sharing pictures like this publicly.
166lbs (pictured on the left) 139.6lbs pictured on the right. Pictured, is a 26.4 weight loss...36lbs total in just over 365 days. This was a LOT of work! This was not overnight...this was not a "diet" this is a lifestyle change for me.
Why do I share these? Why do I share my story? I know there is SOMEONE out there that needs to hear from someone like me that it IS possible!
Jess Because...Fitness DOES Matter!
