Rolling BACK -___-

Hey fitfighters, sooooo I know it’s been a while but I’m hear to spill the beans, the good the bad and ugly.
So we all know that losing weight is a challenge in itself but I recently notice that the bigger challenge is keeping it off and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s disappointing to say that two days ago I finally got back on the scale to face my demons and got a really really big reality check :-( I GAINED 20 POUNDS! From my lowest weight lost! I was crushed I wanted to leave the gym right away and cry punch scream and trash everything in sight that I could blame for my weight gain,but then I realized that I would be trashing myself! SIGH you can only imagine the emotions that I was going through but I had to sit there and figure it out, I had to sit there and answer my own questions as to how I just simply just let myself go and didn’t realize how far gone I was :-/. How you may ask…. Being complacent, feeling invincible, feeling a great sign of achievement in result not really working out as much and or watching what i ate and losing sight of how hard I worked to get there, I enjoyed the fruits of my labor without thinking about the aftermath. Am I mad though? Nope not at all… disappointed YES but I got to live a YOLO seven months feeling like a NORMAL girl not a overweight FAT Girl… I lived, carefree and happy loving the skin within and now it’s just time to get back and rebuild on the foundation I planted! #myfitfight

Loving The Skin Within!

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 12:09:47 -0400

Loving your skin within is something that everyone struggles with.. during this whole fitfight movement I learned to be comfortable with myself and know that no matter what I’m beatiful inside and out. Looks aren’t the deciding factors in life, it’s who you are inside. Knowing that has allow me to really live and be the person you really wanted to be not what society thinks is “right”. No matter if I was a size 18 or a size 8 loving myself makes everything just that much easier… Bright smiles go a long way and confidence is everything! So I leave this post with the simple message Beauty lives inside so make sure your let it SHINE Through! #myfitfight

Support or Lack there of

Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:52:18 -0400

One of the major things that really affected me in my whole weight lost process was the support from others… It’s something that naturally we all would assume that everyone would be on board with and happy for you right away but unfortunately I was faced with something different that till this day I could never fully forget or ignore. I remember in the beginning a very wise mentor of mine name Sandra said that days like this would come and to not let it get the best of me… She told be that I would be surprise that the people I would expect the most support from wouldn’t always be my biggest fans, SIGH boy was she right… Who would have known that I would do all this hard work only to let it not be justified because a friend or family member never really acknowledged it :-/. During this whole lifestyle change I learned much of others as I learned a lot about myself. I leave this post to reassure you that yes these things do happen but it’s up to you to be the biggest cheerleader there is…. Never let someone else’s actions validate your own #Myfitfight

Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:01:03 -0400

It’s has been a constant daily struggle to accept the changes that I’ve endured with fitting to lose weight and change my lifestyle for the better. I’ve notice that I didn’t give myself enough credit for my accomplishments thus far or had a chance to just look in the mirror and say wow I’M DOING IT lol… attached to this post is a picture that I took of myself when I finally realized that “OH I’M DOING IT” :-)… Don’t get me wrong I could give myself a whole list of flaws but at that very moment I felt AMAZING!!! and that’s what it’s all about people… having a moment in the mirror and falling in love with the person you see!… SOOOOOO I challenge all my readers today to take a quick peek at yourself in the mirror without judgement eyes at notice the love shining through! XOXO #MYFITFIGHT

Life… we have no control over what today will bring or what tomorrow will hold. February 26th 1999 I learned exactly what that meant. On this day life truly flashed before my eyes… being a young healthy vibrant 12 year old girl I saw Death an experience that truly changed my life and the people that surrounded me… all dr’s could come up with is that a virus must have went from my ear straight to my heart.. 63 pricks of needles to try to draw blood Heart Rate barely reaching 43… 3 electric stocks with a defibrillator and Millions of prayers… 2 & 1/2 weeks in intensive care with a pacemaker implanted and family and friends by my side I survived and this is why I’m here MY FIT FIGHT

MY JOURNEY OF SHEADING THE POUNDS

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:56:12 -0400

The Number 1 question I get from everyone is… how did i lose all this weight?… and every time I answer the ”OLD FASHION WAY” I changed my diet and exercised… then I would get the raised eye brows and blank look lol. See guys in the words of my dear pharmacist Sandra “the is no magic way… no formula no tricks to tell” , When making the first step to losing weight you have to be honest with yourself and have realistic goals … I mean sure I want to lose 10 pounds in a blink of an eye and 2 inches off my waist in a day but is that really realistic, healthy or safe? No… What kept me motivated was that I didn’t give myself a direct timeline I said to myself that quick fix aren’t good fixes and basically slow and steady will win the race! Nevertheless with that said I simply did what felt natural and tangible I didn’t go on an extreme diet I just used the method of portion control & made better decisions and lastly hit the gym and took my 1st two steps on the treadmill and took it all day by day.

#FITFIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER

Welcome

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:14:09 -0400

1^st and foremost I want to personally thank you for visiting my blog today. This has been something that I’ve wanted to do for over a year now and the day has finally come. For those visiting for the first time and don’t know what this is all about here is a little background of what it is and why I decided to do it. As a young girl I’ve always struggled with my weight and how I was perceived in society and trail after trail I attempted to do whatever I could to lose weight and love the girl in the mirror, However nothing would ever stick. Through Junior High, High School and College it has been an constant battle, I was always the girl with the biggest smile, lots of personality and full of energy and never let my weight hold me back but as I would lay my head to rest I have the moments of realization that it was all I was doing was masking my feelings and never fully dealing with the obvious issues at hand. I was OVER WEIGHT AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLE of every opportunity that life can offer. My weight held me back from living 100% … experiencing happiness, love and acknowledgement. For years I didn’t know when it was all going to give when was I ever going to be able to LIVE, when was this going to be only a DREAM and not my REALITY. Well finally a Monday March 28^th 2011 I woke up with a voices in my head the horror words of my peers, family and friends and I said to myself this is it… I’m taking my life back, I’m going to fight … I’m going to fight to live and experience life to the fullest. So here I am a year and a few months later sharing my Journey on how I got there and life battles before and now after… the battle never stops it’s only the beginning #FITFIGHT
