"I'm Owning it!"

  Since I started crossfit at the end of May I have lost 34 inches!!! Can You tell I'm excited?!? I have been measuring myself every 4 weeks and I have to be honest I was quite terrified to measure on Monday. This month has felt like a roller coaster and I am pretty sure I was in pain and resting more than I exercised. Thank you Paleo for continuing to give me results!!!! 

I decided to post pictures of what I have accomplished so far. I feel like I don't even know the girl in these pictures! It's been a long rocky road but I finally believe in myself 100% and know that I will reach my goals!

This is me at my heaviest in Aug 2008, I seriously look like I ate something or someone!!! About a week after this photo was taken I found out my ex-husband wanted a divorce. Words can't describe what I went through. I was depressed and in a VERY unhealthy relationship. I am proud to say I got a personal trainer and spent a lot of time at the gym and lost 100lbs. Unfortunately, I got a social life and went to nursing school and gained back about 35 lbs.

Here I am very ticked that I gained back 35 lbs. I put this picture off too long. I wish I had taken it the day I left crossfit for the first time. I will be weighing in Sept which will be my 90 day mark from the last time I stepped on the scale. I weighted on 6/14/12 a few days after this picture was taken and I weighed 346 (I can't believe I am posting that!!!)

And here I am today! I definitely have a LONG road ahead of me but I am so PROUD of what I lost so far. Ladies and gentlemen I have a WAIST!!!!
