Two years ago I took part in a Murdoch Mysteries weekend, I was so looking forward to the weekend and then after, looking at the pictures I got smacked with reality. I was eating myself into an early grave. With the support of my amazing husband I made lifestyle changes and am in a much healthier place. Here is my picture from two years ago.
This past weekend I was able to go back and retake my picture with some the amazing cast of Murdoch Mysteries.
What a difference two years makes! Here is another one of the transformation.
Other than reaching the two year mark I am also celebrating another milestone that I have been waiting for. I am now officially have the size I use to be. Yes, that is correct, I have lost an entire me!
I will try to get better about writing weekly blogs. The last few months have been a struggle for me as the scale hasn't been always showing me what I wanted to see and I have been questioning my resolve. With the support of Munkee I am still pushing forward and still moving ahead. I am about 24 pounds away from where I want to end up and even that is still a question as I want to ensure my final weight is manageable and realistic.
So I want to share a few things I've learned in the last two years:
- I am not on a diet, I have changed my lifestyle for the better
- It takes a lot of work to plan and prepare the food you need but it's better for you
- It's not easy, don't let anyone ever tell you it's easy to make the changes
- With a lot of determination, support and will power you can make the changes and can get yourself healthier
- Mushrooms and onions aren't yucky!
- Sushi is good
- Eating too much sugar after little to none is a bad thing (will have to share that story some time!)
- If I can do this, anyone can. Trust me.
