I started my journey then went off track quite a few times. In August of 2014 I decided to go for it again. I started following a paleo lifestyle and doing Zumba. When starting I was at 220lbs. I went to zumba 5 times a week, sometimes going twice a day so I could get in some of the machines. I meal prepped like a crazy person, I loved going to the gym. About 2 weeks for mine and my husbands first vacation without kids I became burned out. I wanted no part of the gym, meal planning or anything. We left to New York on Oct 19,2014, our Anniversary. Over vacation we walked, a lot, 49 miles to be exact. I dropped 3lbs while on vacation, that never happens, or at least to me it doesn't. The holidays came and went, and I maintained my weight. Awww the new year, time to start up again, then I got sick, my kids got sick, we lost a family member, had to put our family dog down, the kids got sick again and I gained a few pounds. Well that brings me to this week. I am at 194 lbs, I am back at the gym and working out, I even ordered T25. I am not going crazy and overboard with planning, prepping and exercising but I am keeping it consistent. I don't want to ever go over 200lbs again.


As it stands I am happy to see the weight coming off. I am going through issues on where I stand with my husband. I have never been jealous but some things have happened and lets just say I feel like I don't hold the same place with my husband as I did before. Emotionally it has been a roller coaster these past couple months. I am determined whole heartedly this time around.
