Back To Basics.

Hello Cyberland!!! Miss me? ;) well I have shamefully been hiding from this very blog because let me tell ya, I let myself go Hog wild over the holidays. And when I say hog wild, I kinda mean because I pigged out. The holidays were rough and kinda spent some of my food money budget on christmas presents. Which I think is an okay way to go :) I just love buying gifts for people! Its seriously the best!

But I am happy to report that through my 3 month break, with Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and an 8 day vacation, I only managed to gain back 10 lbs. I really was thinking there would be a TON more than that but it doesn't seem to be that much weight seeing as the first time I did Paleo, I lost 8lbs in the first week. 

Really excited to report that I also have another much needed motivator! One of my best friends on this entire planet got engaged in December right before Christmas!

it was a most joyful occasion:) they have a beautiful love story let me tell ya!!! Definitely a fairy tale! I'm so excited for these two to be wed in holy matrimony:D

AND as if I wasn't excited enough about this fairy tale come to life, she asked me to be a Bridesmaid! I'm such a lucky, incredibly honored girl ;)

So now with that 5 and 1/2 months on the horizon I've got to get some discipline going! I lost about 30lbs before Nicole's wedding from about Jan-June last year and I think I can do about the same from now till August!

I would love ANY support or encouragement you guys and gals are willing to put out there! This ultimately isn't just about my dress size, it's about my life and getting healthy! I know I can't do it on my own strength and would much appreciate prayer for the Holy Spirit's strength to get me to persevere and press on towards the goal. This is huge!!! I am so excited to begin this second leg of my Paleo journey.

Thanks for tuning in friends! Sorry for the long pause in between blog posts. Hope ya'll will stick with me:)

 Here's to going back to the gym!
