6 lbs lighter

I must admit that I haven't thought of this blog in months.  I am not great at getting on the computer other than to check Facebook.  My e-mails are generally checked on my phone.  Anyways, the other day I was pleasantly surprised that a complete stranger had replied to a post of mine - thanks again Terri.

So, as a promise to her, here is a new post.

A few months ago, I was feeling down about my body - AGAIN.  As I was checking Facebook, I came across a picture of a friend of mine in a bikini while on vacation.  She looked stunning.  Beautiful girl with a beautify body.  As I was thinking about this friend, I received a message from another friend of mine wondering how I was doing.  I quickly asked her to call me as I needed to talk with her about her diet and exercise life style.  This is something that we had briefly discussed before but I was in no way ready to commit to the 30 day cleanse that she used.  We spoke for about 1/2 an hour and after hearing her tell me all of the positives was experiencing I asked her to sign me up.

Fast forward today.  I have lost several inches and am down close to 6 lbs.  I feel FANTASTIC!  My energy level is much better and my hair and nails are stronger.  My skin glows.  It is amazing how a simple lifestyle change can make you feel like a million dollars.  

Now, I do need to reiterate that I have never been a large person, but instead have been trying to lose that extra pregnancy weight.  My biggest goal was to tone up my tummy.  Now that I have lost that extra bit of pudge, I am well on my way.  Nor was I ever an unhealthy eater.  I think I just needed that extra boost to get me going.

I hope that I can maintain this happiness and my new confidence.
