Say goodbye to 24!

Well,

I had a weigh-in today and I am 24 pounds down! Wahoo! I still have a lot to go, but I am good with that number so far.

I also celebrated turning 31! It all started with the best surprise a girl could ask for. My dear, sweet, amazing friends gave me a surprise party at our girl's night :) I was so surprised! Good job girls! That following Thursday (a day before my birthday), I received flowers and lunch from my coworkers! The next day, I received a gift and another free lunch from my big boss! Couple all of that with love and gifts from my family and friends...I had the best 31st! Also, my inbox was flooded with people sharing good deeds they did for others. Blessing others is truly the greatest gift. I know that each one of them were smiling, and that is ENOUGH for me :)

I am starting to incorporate exercise into my routine. I am hoping this continues on the track of the pounds falling off. I am HOPING that dress fits in March. It is still SUPER SNUG, so if not by March, then by April....BUT I really want it to fit in March :)

Speaking of March...I want to put my goal for the month out here. Telling you guys helps to keep me accountable. I mean, I can't let you guys down ;) So for March, my goal is to lose 10-12 pounds. I think it is doable. I will update if it comes off quicker and set that goal a little higher!

P.S. If you are wanting to change your way of eating, let's chat! We can share tips and recipes that will help each other out! I LOVE having people (especially ones I love!) to talk to.

One of my friends made me a gift with this on it: She believed she could, so she did.

Ladies, I can do this. We can do this.

Hope you all have an amazing day!

Love,
Jamie

It's been a minute...

Wow! Life has been a whirlwind! I started a new job and I could not be happier! It has definitely lifted my spirits and made me feel more appreciated :)

So, with the new job (this is not an excuse, I am just being honest), I fell off of my eating plan a little bit...BUT, I am happy to say I am back on it! Life throws us a curve ball sometimes, but we just have to get back in the box and keep swinging :)

I went to my weigh in and lost a pound. One measly pound...lol. But, it is because I did not stick to the plan. Next week, I should have much better results as I am back on the straight and narrow. But hey, a pound is a pound!

Would I go back and change that? Meh...probably not. I ate king cake for Mardi Gras, had an ice cream date with my babies, and had a Subway sandwich one day for lunch.

I can't make any promises how consistent I will be in updating the blog, but I will try really hard for once a week. I would love to have a forum for all of us to share recipes, encouragement, etc.

P.S. For my birthday tomorrow, I bought myself a barbell and some weights! Time to bring the gym to me :)

I will update soon!

I will give a total next week of total pounds lost thus far!

Have a FABULOUS day!
