It's Happening

Since I have started eating cleaner and exercising I have lost weight already 5 lbs of fat like the picture shows. I am so motivated and I anxiously wait for 4pm to get here so I can go workout everyday. I'm bummed that I have 3 rest days but I will eat clean so I can continue losing while the hubby is away for his drill weekend at Ft. Dix this weekend. I can get up eat what I have to, clean the house and burn some calories doing that.

So that means I have 81 lbs to get to my last goal weight. But I have set a goal to try to lose 15-20 lbs a month so I have btwn 10-15 lbs to lose for this month to reach my first goal weight, I can't wait, I'm so excited to see how my body changes during this time.

I'm So Motivated

I know, I know, I might sound like a broken record but I am once again on the right track to lose weight. I have actually gained weight and have gone up to 239 (I can't believe I even told you guys) but I started a new program that I found online and I absolutely love it. It's on bodybuilding.com, I'm following Jamie Eason's 12 Week Training (JE12WT). I started last Monday with out following the meal plan, so I started over today following the meal plan to a T.


But I have lost 3lbs in one week already by eating healthy and working out so I'm down to 236 now. I have mapped out the next 9 months of my life. From March-May I'm doing JE12WT, from June-Aug I'm doing P90X, from Sep-Nov I'm doing Insanity. While I do all of that I'm gonna try to incorporate the Brazilian Butt Lift DVDs.

I plan to get down to 150 at least by November for the 2012 Marine Corps Ball. With that being I need to lose 86lbs. I am so motivated as I have ever been and I will do it this time. No excuses anymore, what I plan to do is switch gyms and go to where my husband goes, so I want to go to the gym at 0500 before going to work then come home cook for me and the hubby and go again when he goes to the gym and rest at least 1-2 days a wk. Wish me luck for getting down to 150lbs.

I've Been MIA Once Again.....

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I have been gone for a while, but I promise I will be back on the regular. The holidays came and went, so did my 25th Birthday on the 2nd of Jan. I can't believe that I didn't post anything on here to update you guys on how I'm doing. Well I am going to school again, my first day was on the Jan 17th. I'm attending online classes at Ashford University for Education Studies. I will finsih my first course on Monday and I am getting an A so far. I'm supposed to finish with my Bachelors Degree in Dec of 2015.

Our friend Andy that went w/ me & our family to Parris Island to pick up my husband from boot just graduated from boot camp himself. But he couldn't go into the Marine Corps so he went Army. My husband & I were unable to go to his graduation because it was right smak in the middle of the week. Since I just started at my job I still didn't have personal days & if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid. So what we decided to do was save money  go to his AIT graduation in Ft. Jackson, SC in May.  



This past Tuesday was Valentine's Day. My husband are not really big on the whole holiday, but I decided to make a special dinner for the both of us and enjoy in some desserts that I also made. 

Steak with garlic potatoes along with shrimp seasoned in basil, garlic, & red pepper flakes, cooked in white wine.

Chocolate covered strawberries & cupcakes.
Well I will finish here because I have to finish my quiz for school.

Enjoy the rest of your night everyone.

Why Can't We All Get Along

So I went to Maryland that Friday after thanksgiving and my husband decided not to go after he had originally said he was going. But anyways, that is besides the point because we spoke about that after I came back home on Sunday because I was hurt that he then decided to stay because of his cousin from NC surprised us. I felt as if I was put on the back burner just so he can be with his family. I really wanted him to come with me to the party. Well he didn't and we spoke about how I felt and everything and we got over everything. So my mother decided she want to bring it up again yesterday.and this time tell my husband what she thought about the whole situation. Obviously, my husband got mad and tell her how he felt but wasn't disrespectful and I just wanted both of them to stop talking about the whole situation because I didn't want it to escalate. I just hate being in the middle of the problem. I just wish that they could get along and get over their problem with each other. Maybe one day.......
