Tranformation Tuesday

This is not an overnight transformation, this transformation has been over the last two years. Also its not just my body that has changes, but my outlook on life, and my overall lifestyle.

I have made so many changes in my life, I cannot say that one thing was what made it all happen. Some changes were big (Moving out of my parents house), and some were small (incorporating more vegetables into my diet).

When ever you want to see changes in your life you have to make sure that you are 1. ready to commit to making the changes 2. And ready to fight yourself to keep those changes. The piece of cake will usually always look more appetizing than the veggie tray at a party. Its not easy to make the right choice, but I have always believed in giving in and indulging in something you love.. you have to treat yourself. Every "diet" has cheat days! :)



Starting from  the bottom left of these photo.  This first picture is from High school so WAY far back.. Next is freshman year, then senior year (note the cap and gown which doesn't help anyone's look). We then have 2014 Warrior Dash. From freshman year up to almost the beginning of 2015, I was always "watching what I ate" but never really did anything more to change myself. 2015 was the start of everything..

For the top row we  have July 2015. Early December 2015 and 12/12/15 is the most recent

As you can see most of the changes have bee in my face. Which really makes that first picture and the most recent one look like two completely different people.  I have had some family that I haven't seen in a while double take, to make sure that it is me! Its a great feeling. :)

If you are planning on trying to change yourself. Make sure you are ready for the ups and down of it all. You will make mistakes, you will hate the scale, you will gain weight some days, but if you stick to it you will get to where you want to be! Don't call what your doing is a diet, diets have end dates you only diet for so long.

 

Create a new lifestyle for yourself!

 

I will try to post more on what I am doing these days to keep my weight down and building muscle.
