Fat to Fit Friday!!!

Hey y'all! I'm linking up with a few gorgeous girls for Fat to Fit Friday!



So what motivates you guys to stay on track??? At first it was easy for me to stay on track with weekly weigh ins... Well I dropped about 20lbs, and then it just stopped. I'm NOT near my goal weight. Not by a long shot. In fact, I need to lose about 65 more lbs to hit my goal. So I've taken every one else's advice and broken up with my dirty whore of a scale and just turned to measurements and pictures. 

Soooo the picture on the left was from August. The picture on the right was last week!

Like I said before, there's only a 20 lb difference between the two. Ignore the pissed off look in the 2nd picture, because TRUST me, I'm a lot happier with the way I look now than I did in August.

I have 4 little humans to take care of... Talk about motivation! I want to be able to keep up with them, run with them... I don't want to be stuck on the sidelines cheering... I never was a cheerleader, I've always been in the moment... Until I got FAT! I guess that's what happens when you pop out 4 kids and lose all the self confidence you've ever had.

Well no more pity party here! I'm on my shit now, and there's not a thing that's going to stop me :)

Until next time!

Stay Classy!

Is this thing on?!

Well, it's evident that I haven't posted anything in over a month, needless to say, I fell off the wagon. I mean I didn't go get a bunch of hookers and cocaine...

 

But I did eat whatever I wanted... Eat clean? WTF is that?! Rabbit Food? I drank pop like Weezy drank that purple drank.... I mean let's face it, that ish is fantastic... And when you're programmed from birth (meaning it was in my bottle) it's kind of hard to kick the habit.

Oh, and the gym? Apparently I forgot where it was! I've been about 7x this month.... Ridiculous.  I could come up with a million excuses like.... My house was hit with the stomach plague... I wanted to spend every minute with my 52 (or four) boys.... I was tired...


But let's get real about this ish.... I only had the stomach virus for a day, I go through a bottle of Excedrin Migraine a month, and I haven't really slept since giving birth to twins and their straggler brother 11 months later.... I was simply being lazy.... Not only was I being lazy, but my Co-blogger? Becca reached one-derland (She should probably blog about THAT..... But Seriously.... It's time to
turn this shit up....



There's nothing like a little motivational picture to help really put things into perspective for you. If you use Instagram, you can see lots of these pictures every day of real life people who did it on their own! I decided to do one to get me out of my funk. Here it is:

The left picture was a year ago. The picture on the right was last week :) There's only about a 25lb difference in the two, but it's a huge change. I had a couple of bad weeks, but that doesn't mean I need to just give up and go back to the girl on the left. I've got to get my priorities straight and realize I need to get my shit together :) Hopefully I can rely on my accountability partners to help! I have 3 goals starting now that I will do for the month of April... They are:

1. Drink 100oz of water every day, no excuses.
2. Become reacquainted with the gym. At least 20x between now (March 26th and April 30th).
3. Quit regular soda, I swear, this will be my hardest thing.


If anyone wants to share their April goals, feel free to comment below! If anyone wants an accountability partner you can message me at manda.parham@gmail.com :) Until next time!

Stay Classy!
