I can't believe I've lost 60 lbs. :) A year ago I would've been like "I want to lose the weight but I'm not sure if I'd be able to lose all of that weight" It seemed very extreme for me to lose this much weight. I thought I would eventually plateau and that my weight wouldn't move which is exactly what happened the last time I tried to lose weight. I had lost 32 pounds and my weight loss stopped. I continued to exercise daily and being out of work did not help me because I couldn't afford much of anything so I would get like can raviolis, soup, ramen noodles, pasta roni's. All pretty much cheap stuff but it was not good for the body. My body was desperately wanting a change.  So my weight didn't move and I was dealing with a lot of stress at the time and on top of all that my car gets totaled to one day just forget it. That attitude was not good for me. I ended up gaining back all the weight and some. I seriously wish I could go back and change what happened but I can't so I'm just working on today and the future. It helps to prepare meals ahead of time! Healthy nutritious foods...having protein, good carbs, dairy, vegetables, pastas and rice in moderation. My new lifestyle is really easy I just set up a diet program specifically designed for my strengths and it definitely helps me with my weaknesses. It's crazy how far I've come cause I can just look at foods and know how many calories is in them. I'm so close to my goal I can taste it. I can't believe only 14 more pounds :) I've cleaned out my closet and have to give some more baggy clothes away. :) And I have also met another goal of mine..wasn't sure it would ever happen but it's kinda personal. But I'm so glad it did! Rock on! :) Just to update I'm on my 2nd month of the Insanity Program and yes it's definitely more intense than the first month but I've come to realize with this program exactly how strong I am and it's definitely helping my endurance and speed on my running which is definitely what I wanted. I NEED TO GET MY DRIVER'S LICENSE SOON...and yes I still don't have it. But I am definitely going to get it soon it has been way too long without it. I miss driving. lol.

I do have this NEW attitude now where I can and I will do this. BRING IT! I say :) So I know now that no matter what comes my way I can take it. I'm just going to push through it and be the stronger person. Believe me ever since I started I think my stress level has went up due to everything going on. It's not the diet or the exercise it's just different issues in my life and yeah I've definitely had days I've wanted to break down and cry. There was one specific day the stress level was very high and I'm like I gotta go to gym...I gotta go no matter how I'm feeling...It's definitely going to help me to ease the stress, so much better than just "binges" when stressed.  Because too when that happens issues are not being worked out. YEAH IT'S PAINFUL not saying it isn't. Just talk to some one...and if you feel like you can't talk to some one write your feelings down. Doesn't have to be on a blog for every one to see but if you want to do that it's up to you. You have to let go of those feelings in order to progress! Another helpful tip do a workout when your stressed! It has definitely helped me every single time. 

Woooo....I'm talking way too much and if I didn't stop I'd be here all day. LOL
