Why I Got Started

I started my lifestyle change about 1 year ago. Two years after our son was born, I still had my baby weight to lose and being a stay at home mom, I felt I needed a break. I used to get so mad at my husband for coming home late because of his workouts. I was jealous that he took the time to workout and take care of himself. I kept wondering, "Where is my time?"

So one day I decided that when he got home I would go workout and leave him with the baby. I didn't have access to a gym, but I had a treadmill and some dumbbells. After that first workout I was hooked! I finally understood why he always wanted to workout!

How I Did It

I worked out for about six months but I only noticed a little change in they way I looked. I sure felt healthier until I looked at the scale! I hit a major plateau and was very discouraged, almost to a point of quitting.

Then I read something that changed everything, "You can't see the results from your workouts without eating clean!" And that did it! I broke through that plateau! I started recording everything that went in my mouth. I added up calories, saturated fat, carbs, protein, and fiber. Absolutely zero trans fats or high fructose corn syrup!

Workouts Without Eating Clean!

I could see my fat rapidly melting away and start seeing all that muscle I had been building. Then spring came and my husband and I grew our own organic vegetables in our backyard. Eating lean meat and home grown fresh vegetables is laying a great foundation for healthy eating for our 3 year old son. He says that he loves zucchini and squash! (That makes it all worth it!)

Suggestions For Others

I made a vision board. I got out all my magazines, cut out the pictures of women I wanted to look like, pictures of clothes I wanted to wear, and inspirational words or quotes and pasted them all on a project board I bought from the school supply section at the store.

I put it in front of my treadmill so I see it everyday. It helps me stay focused on my goals! Don't talk about the life you want... LIVE IT!
