#IMPROVE

Had a great workout today doing the below:

Blogilates| Fat Melting Routine

and

Blogilates | Pop Pilates for Weight Loss

This is becoming my second home. Unfortunately, sometimes it tends to be my vacation home! <-- And I crossed that out because it shouldn't be! At times I fall off of my workout schedule daily and won't workout until 5 or 6 days later..especially if the Hubby is home because I get lazy and just want to relax with him. So I really need to stop being lazy and make sure I work out every day. I will try to do better come 2012. 

 As I tweeted earlier: If you have nothing else to do...exercise!!!

Make it great day everyone!

"History Was Made Today"

I'm not sure if I am the only one or not but before I had kids I was in a size 4/5 and I had a favorite pair of capri's that I loved to wear because they were super comfortable. So these one pair of capri's I have kept this entire time as motivation to lose my weight that I gained after having kids. And ladies and gentlemen....................

TODAY I GOT BACK IN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

**does my happy dance**

Am I proud of myself? Heckkkkkssssssssssss Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! 

Did I ever think I would be able to fit back into my size 5's? Heckkkkkkksssssssssssss Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!

But I did!!!! Heckkkkksssssssssss Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The photo of my father and I was taken around May or June of 2006..A year before I started to have kids. I was a size 5 at 118lbs. Right now I am at 128..So I have 8 more pounds to lose in order to get to where I want to be now which is 120. The pants have 2% spandex which means they have a little stretch in them but not much. I have been able to lose alot of fat in my thighs and waist which has helped me get into them. I know the beginning of this year I couldn't get my calf muscle through one leg so this is definitely an accomplishment for me..lol As you can tell in the photo of me with my father I was definitely in shape...even my arms look amazing..lol. And oh what I would do to have that super flat tummy back. I always stayed in shape until I started having kids....which I am sure alot of women can relate. But I am finally getting back to where I want to be in my weight journey. I took photos for you all to see. :) 

Stay motivated!

"My Secret Obsession"

As you know I have been shedding pounds the past few weeks and one thing while trying to lose weight that sucks is wanting sweets! My secret obsession to satisfy my sweet tooth and not add many calories is Dove Milk Chocolates. Of course they have others that have caramel in them or almonds, etc..But my fav is the original Milk Chocolate. They do not taste at all like they are low in calories or anything...I am extremely addicted to them. Right now at Walgreens they are 2/$2.00. I like to get the 5 piece pack since the entire pack (if eaten) is all but 200 calories. LOVE IT!!! Try it out for yourself! 

"The Disappearing Act of Fat": My Weight Loss Results So Far

So I decided to take a photo of my weight loss to show you guys how much I have lost over time. The main focus where I wanted to lose weight was my face, arms and tummy area ...and of course everywhere else but the areas I mentioned blew up after I had kids so I was determined to get rid of them...lol  Here are my Before and After Pics.....
