Heres to Saturday Inspiration: When I was younger and super fine (LOL), I always wondered what people meant by yo-yo dieting because it just did not apply to me. You know.. I was fine and ate what I wanted when I wanted.....However, over the years, my weight has changed dramatically with lots of changes from life challenges, stress, health, pregnancies, yo-yo diets, etc... Although, I was not happy with my appearance, other people thought I was still FINE!!... Earlier this year, I was suffering with urticaria (persistent itchy skin). After several visits to 4 different doctors and a million steroids later, a biospy revealed I was having allergic reactions to the topical steroids; which means the steroids that were suppose to help me stop itching caused me to itch more... hmmm.. nice... Over the course of 6 months, I gained additional weight. In fact, my baby said to me... thats not baby fat, Mommy Im 11 (LOL - if you know my baby, Marshae, you would understand)... Well, as I stopped the steroids, the itching went away and I could get back to my normal life.. and it was time to address my baby fat.. ha ha .. In mid July, I made a choice to get in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE EVER and a journey to get into bikini shape... I am really proud of my results because this time I did not do it it with a fad yo yo diet. I became a BeachBody Coach and started using the 21 day fix program. I am following a simple eating plan, watching my portion sizes and exercising daily.. Lets face it... I am not getting any younger.. and those that have gone before me have shared that the older you get the harder it is to lose weight! So here I am.. 3 months later Ive lost 18lbs and a total 9 inches (which includes 5 inches from my waist!). I am 1/2 way to my goal and I pray this inspires you to take on your health and fitness to new level..Get Started, Do something, just get moving!! I am here to support you however you choose! Thanks for encouraging me to share Sidney & Phillippa and thanks Katy for being my coach! Thanks to Kathy for being my ultimate inspiration over the years! Thanks to all my friends and BeachBody coaches that continue to encourage me!!! Heres to being Fit, Fine and Free! #21dayfix #halfhouraday #fitfinefree #newlifestyle #bikinibody
