My desire to start WHOLESOME &FIT came from my most recent weight loss journey, which began
after having my second child in June of 2012. I began my journey with the
desire to lose weight, to drop 100 pounds. So
far I have successfully lost 85 pounds! Somewhere along my journey I had an
epiphany – a major change in my frame of mind.
I am not sure exactly when this happened, but it sent me down a new path. Now I love myself, with all my imperfections (and
my perfections, too J) and I want to live a healthy, active, and fit lifestyle for
the rest of my days.
I am accomplishing my fit, healthy, awesome version of myself
by eating as "clean" as possible, I am currently on my second round
of the 21 Day Fix (I LOVE this program).
I am also exercising every day of the week, I am currently on day 44 of
my Run Streak and the 21 Day Fix is a 7 day a week workout program.
To be completely honest, I have plateaued, several times
throughout the last two and a half years.
I have had huge weight loss weeks, no weight loss weeks, weight gain
weeks. I have actually been the same weight since October of 2013, but I do not
let that get me down. The truth is, however, I have had many “non-scale”
victories. I've gone from a size 22 to a
size 12, from wearing an XXL to wearing mediums and larges. I have built muscles, I am running faster,
and I am losing inches. In fact I am
wearing the same size clothing I was wearing when I met my husband in April of
2004.
I eat gluten free due to having been diagnosed with Celiac 11
years ago, and I have recently cut out a great deal of dairy and sugars. The healthier I eat, the better I feel and
the more energy I have. I am currently figuring out that I am fueling my body
with food, not eating just to eat.
I have not reached my goal weight, yet. I have another 15 pounds to go. After I reach my goal weight, however, starts the real work – maintaining my new weight. Through clean eating, regular exercise, and positive collaboration with like-minded individuals, I know I will reach my goal and maintain my new weight.
I look forward to working with you, learning from you, and hearing your story. I invite you to join me on this journey and I hope it will become our journey!
