I have never felt this good before…like ever in my life.  I feel proud, confident, sexy as hell…I feel beautiful and I feel like I earned every single feeling that I’m having right now.  I never knew that I could be this girl…healthy, getting fit, full of integrity, strong, so inspired to be a better person, wanting desperately to pay it forward.  There is a line in the Beyonce remix of Flawless that my sister and I are obsessed with and she says…”I wish everyone could feel like this” and I do want that!!!  I want to spread the joy and confidence that I feel to every single person I come into contact with.  You guyyyyyys…I’m down 90 mother bitchin pounds that I will never see again.  Here’s to 100…I don’t know if I will ever stop crying when that day comes. The amount of gratitude we feel towards every single person that reads our blog and checks in on our progress is overwhelming.  You guys have no idea how much it helps us stay focused on our goals and thank you will never feel like enough, but we thank you anyways. Xoxo times infinity. Love, Sara #meow #loveyoujenny

 

Jenny…you’re up Bunny!

Hellllo!!!! I feel incredible!!!!   And I gained two pounds!!!!  I don’t feel defeated…..I worked really hard to only gain 2 pounds.  I knew December was going to be hard……but damn it was really hard and yet sooooo fun.  This has been the most amazing experience of my life. I am doing more then I ever expected, I am no longer walking through life….I AM RUNNING!!!  Every day I wake up to take on the challenge, and I am addicted.  This journey is evolving everyday and I am so grateful to be open to it physically and emotionally.  I will get to my goal.  Being patient with myself is becoming my biggest challenge. I have never been this excited for today and tomorrow!!   This is really becoming about living.  The struggles make the success that much sweeter. Thank you for your support!  This growing circle of friends and community are huge to our success and we couldn’t do this without you!!  Cheers!! Muuuahhhh

Another weigh in down!!!  We love y’all soooo much!

So we made it through the holidays. I’d like to think I did well but I did gain 5 lbs. Had trouble resisting temptation. Oh well I guess it’s all part if the ebb and flow of my journey. I’m back at the gym now trying to bulk up on my muscles and still burn fat. We shall see.

We love you brandooooo!!!! soo proud of him

I lost zero and I couldn’t be happier!   Who knew these were hard months?!?!  Oh everyone.   Well maintaining my weight lost thus far is a success!!!! I really hope to lose some weight next month!! I’m still feeling extremely focused.  I’m so aware when I’m not sticking to my diet….my budget falls off and I avoid the scale.  So it was a pleasant surprise I did not gain.  I still worked out, which kept me engaged.  Christmas is defintely my favorite holiday. SO I need to prioritize my celebrations this month . I’m still learning the lesson, I can not do it all!  I can tell myself no…I think!  Integrity feels better then any food cheat. Sleep deprivation has the worst effect on me, so I am really going to try and stay rested on and go to bed more thoughtfully.  My family is amazing and  couldnt do this without them and I defintely couldn’t dO this without My bestie, love you sara!

 

Alright Sara…you’re up kitty!

Sooooo, it wasn’t my best month but it certainly wasn’t my worst.  Surviving my birthday and flippin Thanksgiving and still managing to lose 2 pounds really does feel great.  Now if I could only have been as dedicated as I was this last week of November, alllll month, I really would have something to celebrate!  I am feeling super pumped about December.  We have our big company party, The Bobies, in January and  I really want to be down 100 pounds by then!!!  I love a goal…now NO MORE SUSHI for awhile at least.  I have never felt better and I never want this feeling to end. I’m entering my 10th month of being sober and who knew it would feel this great.  No turning back.  I genuinely love all of you and I’ll spend the rest of my days trying to show you how grateful I am to have y’all on this journey with us. Xoxo to the moon.

 

We survived another weigh in…together!!!

You guyyyyyyyssss…I was soooo worried about this month!!!  I started August out so rocky with missed gym visits and eating out all the time!  But I rewrote my plan to adjust to all the new great things and it really paid off!!!!  I am sooooo capable of change and I feel so great that I don’t ever want this feeling to end.  This is the most weight that I have ever lost consecutively and it is really empowering.  I have a long way to go but I have honestly never felt so good, committed and completely capable.  Thank you to everyone for their encouragement and support.  Your love means the world and we feel the same about you! xoxoxoxxooxoxoxoxoxox ps….I look and feel soooooo tiny!!!!!  #wahoooooooooooooooo

 

Jenny…it’s go time!!!

I feel great you guys!!!!!  I wanted to get to 50lbs this month but I am so excited to be this close.  And I have never felt better.  I can’t believe it has been 6 months!  3 is about all I can handle usually, but this is starting to truly feel like lifestyle!  And that is my biggest goal out of this really, to live a healthy balanced lifestyle.  I have a month before my birthday, so I wanna give it my all before I turn 30!!  I couldn’t be happier or more excited for it.  I have to thank Sara for always being my go to girl! And Brandon for all of his constant support! I love you!!  And thank you Sandra for taking us under your wing!  I have learned so much!  The support from the blog is just incredeable so thank you for always being there!!!!!  I could not do this alone!

 

 

One more weigh in down!!!!
