wpid-20140927_154646.jpg

It’s that time again!!!  This month we knew I was going to be on vacation for our weigh in…so we had the most genius idea ever…Jenny came down and we did the shoot on the beach!!!! We are soooooo smart!  So let me just say before we get started…when two super grown women are being photographed in bathing suits on the beach frolicking and holding hands…people assume that you are a happy couple taking engagement photos!!!  We were cracking up!  But now onto the main event!  Lets see that chalkboard!!!

I am so grateful to be doing this with my best friend!  She is always there to listen and get deep about weight loss.  We need each other in so many ways!!!  Love you Sara!!   I am so grateful to be down 5lbs this month!!!  More often then not I am making the right decisions .  Im choosing the right foods and Im at the gym when my day seems done.  The hard part is staying focused.  I struggle some days to see the long term goal because of my momentary success.  I feel great!!!!  I think I feel most great because of the hard work it took to get here.  I’m feeling proud and excited!  I want to always feel that way!!!  I am ready for October!!  I turn 30 on the 2nd, and i am beginning to see what 30 looked like in my imagination.  It is looking better everyday! I loved hanging out with the Beard’s this week,  I had the best time!!!  And I love my own family so much!!! Thanks for putting up with my ups and downs and being my inspiration and my comfort!!

 

Congrats Jenny!!!!  Sara, you’re up!!!

You guyyyyyyssss!!! I wish I could say that I have no idea how I ended up with a big fat zero for my weight lost this month…but I thoroughly enjoyed checking out for a few weeks and living a little fast and loose!  I remember every fry and every single morning that I slept in instead of going to the gym.  And I had to fight just to get to zero…gaining 3 pounds was super humbling.  But between vacation and a surprise  broken nose and two black eyes #thankgoodnessforconcealer I felt super unmotivated!!! I really needed a reminder of the hard work that it took to lose 73 pounds.  So now it’s bust ass time…I have a timeline and a plan so getting back on track is a must.  This is real life…I checked out and now I’m paying for it!!! I don’t feel discouraged, I feel refreshed and ready to reengage!!!  Jenny, thank you so much for being strong for both of us when I was weak! Also thank you for always being game and playing into my crazy ideas…especially baring all in a piece of shit, flimsy, super unflattering Old Navy bikini and jumping into a freezing pool one thousand times….you are the living best. I’m back and I’m fucking serious. It feels so good to have this weight off of me and I can’t wait to keep  working hard and feeling better.  #notdrivingbackfromthegrandcanyonEVER #toococky #thisisnoteasy Love you guys to the moon.
