Bikini Photos!!!!!

1^st and foremost, today is exactly 1 month, 30 days, and who knows how many hours until Brittanie Bailey and I get in ‘Da Hoe’ and make our way to Just Add Water and shop the day away for the PERFECT bikini!!!! I never thought I would make it, but its almost here…!

Now, you might wonder what had me flipping out and shouting so loud that I woke up Caleb. Well this is the part I could be a real bia bia and just say I was joking, but this topic is NO laughing matter!!! (lol)… Last night was weigh-in (I lost 4.2 which means I am 8 lbs away from losing 100) and also my monthly bikini photo shoot.

Samantha came over, took the photos, and we uploaded them to my laptop. I decided to just compare January to April, mainly because viewing four photos at once is tricky and my laptop sucks. As I pulled up January’s photos, a pile of emotions came over me. Inside I wanted to cry because I can’t believe how I let myself get that big (and I had lost almost 70 pounds there). On the outside, I was over come with pride knowing that I took a goal and kicked its booty! Then, BAM! I pulled up April’s photo next to January’s and that’s when the jumping, shouting, laughing, crying, every emotion you can think of took over me. I viewed the front, the left side, the back and the right side over and over and over in awe. I still have 30 pounds to go, but for the 1^st time in my entire life I can proudly say that I looked at those April pictures and was proud to be able to share them with everyone.

You have to know, this process is very emotional. Weight loss isn’t for the weak, you have to wake up daily and know you can do it. You have to remind yourself daily that no matter what, it’s a new day and you can achieve what you desire if you stick with it. You have to take out the negative people in your life and replace them with positive, uplifting, and motivational people. I just want to say thank you to each one of you. You may just be reading a blog, but to me you are more than just a blog follower. You make my journey so rewarding to know that I get to share my every up and down with people who care. I am sitting here crying my eyes out right now because 1. I feel so accomplished and 2. I feel so blessed to have you taking time out of your life to read my blog and support me. So, from the bottom of my heart… Thank you…!

I have stalled enough… here is what you have been waiting for!!!
