So I've missed like the last 6 days of this challenge, but better late than never, right?
Day 11:
New Year's Resolutions
Huge shocker here, but my number 1 resolution for this year is....drum roll please......
1. To lose more weight and get healthy!
I've lost 40 lbs since July (ok, if we're being perfectly honest, I've gained back about 5 in the last month haha), but I still have a whole lot more to lose. I'm "technically" still about 100 lbs overweight, but my goal for this year is to lose another 50-75 this year. If I can get to that 100, then awesome! But I would be perfectly content at another 75!
Everyone is always wanting to see before and after pictures, but I really don't have many to show. I've avoided full body pictures for so long, that I don't have any to compare it to hah! But the pics below will kinda give you a before and after of at least my face...theres definitely a difference in how puffy my face looked compare to how it looks now.
Before (I'm obviously the one on the left)
After (me and my sweet hubby at our TEN yr reunion)
Me and one of my bff's, Candice.
I've fallen off the wagon this last month with all the stress of work, school, and the holidays, but I plan to get back on track next week when I can concentrate a little more!2. My relationship with God
Ok, I just realized how bad that sounded when I said my number one was losing weight, instead of my relationship with God. Obviously this does rank first in my life. I know that I cannot do anything, lose weight, juggle my busy life, etc, without Him in my life. I feel like I've drifted so far from God over the last few years, and it really has been a burden on my heart the past week or so. My goal is to start putting him first, and I mean REALLY putting him first, in every single aspect of my life.
And really, those are the only two things I really plan to focus on this year. I always overwhelm myself with so many little resolutions like getting organized, completing projects that really aren't important...but this year, my focus will be on the two things that are most critical in my life...my spiritual and physical health.
Happy Friday ladies!

You look amazing... losing weight is really hard, so I commend you and your self control for doing it. Most important.. healthy heart & feeling good. :)
I'm with you on both of those. I definitely need to put God first. I'm lacking big time in that area. He has blessed me with so much and I don't spend enough time thanking him or just being still in his presence. SAD!! I also need to lose a few lbs that I've gained. UGH!! YOu look fab girl! Keep up the good work!!!
