Love who you are!! Make your life count!

I have not written in a minute.  There has been a whole lot going on. Today I am going to write about my goals for 2020. I was going to write about my crazy roller coaster of a ride year but I am not going to. It is almost over and I want to look forward to the new year.

 So this past year I started a new journey in my life. I started a weightloss program called GOLO. It has been a life saver. I have never before done anything that actually kept working. I have lost a total of 60 pounds since March. I have went from a size 26 to a size 18. That was an amazing accomplishment for me. I have not wore a size 18 since I was 18 years old. WOOP WOOP

  So over the year I learned new tools on how to succeed. One thing I have learned to to set goals. I have so many different kinds of goals I want to hit. I know I can't do them all at once. So I am going to be doing different challenges next year to start new healthy habits. They say it takes 21 days to start a habit. Over this past year I have already started the eating healthy habit. For years I abused my body. After having my first child I got so lazy. I quit brushing my hair, my teeth, and getting dressed. I just sat around watching tv.

  So After I started eating healthy I was like man I feel great I need to do more to feel this good. So instead of only brushing my teeth every couple days I started brushing every morning. I got into the habit of that and added night brushing. Then flossing and mouth wash. My mouth thanks me every day and I am sure the people around me do as well. HAHA. After I had gotten into the habit of that I added washing my face. I have an age spot on my face so I started using a cream morning and night.. It looks so much better. Almost gone!! Now that I have that habit I decided to start doing my eye make up. So now I went from crawling out of bed doing nothing to actually getting dressed. and making myself look as good as I feel. I had also added exercise into my habits. I have missed it these past few weeks.

 Ok so those were my goals I hit this past year.

 For 2020 I have some big goals. I want to 1. lose more weight of course. I am not going to set a number on how much I want to lose because as long as it comes off that is a goal hitter all on it's own. Besides improving myself I want to inspire others to do the same. I want others to know no matter how shitty your life is if you want to get healthy you can do it. Now I am not saying my life is shitty it is just crazy. Most peoples life is. I do have a lot of hard times ahead of me with my son and his DMD and now my dad with Stage 3B lung cancer. I have proved to myself with these struggles I can still keep on track.

 Before when something horrible happened I turned to food. Not anymore. Instead I turned to exercise. I found it was way more satisfying than eating. When my dad had surgery and we found out it was stage 3 I started to shut down. I started shaking and crying. Instead of grabbing cookies and my bed I put in my headphones cranked up some 90's grunge threw on my tennis shoes and headed to the track next to my house for a brisk cold walk that eased my soul!!

If you are reading this know you are not alone. Know we can all beat our struggles together. We are all unbreakable. We can achieve our goals no matter what.
