After Pic, Goal Weight Achieved, 2nd Place BL Contest

As promised, I’m posting my “after” pic.  This is a quick blog as I’m swamped still at work, and it won’t be letting up any time soon.  Good news from that is that I have job security, which a lot of peeps out there don’t right now, so I count my blessings.

Still following my OMG plan (THANK YOU DR. MARC) and life is wonderful as far as my healthy eating goes.  It’s a snap for me to stick to, there’s nothing at all “diet” about it.  Amazing how that works. LOL 

I ended up in 2nd place in the BL contest at work.  I’m pleased with the results.  For me to have won, I would have looked anorexic, and it wasn’t about that for me.  It was about staying focused and getting where “I” wanted to be, and I did that! YAY me!!!  130 pounds… goal achieved!

Now to keep motivated, I’ll be concentrating on “shaping”, with toning and weights.  I’ll post one more pic of me in my swimsuit at the beach in Florida in late June.  Swimsuit pic???  Posting it??? Now THAT’S motivation. HA!

A word of advice to those that struggle.  DON’T EVERRRRRRR GIVE UP… EVER!  Keep at it, stay focused, and you WILL find your own nitch and what works for you.  It took me 3 solid years of searching and trying different avenues before I finally hit the mark for me.  Start with the inside… work on that… the heart, the mind, the soul.  You do that, and you will be well on your way to working on the outside.  Balance is where it’s at peeps, and you can’t have it without working on the inside first.

Love and miss you allllllllllllll SO much.  I’ll be back when I can.

HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS,
Shan

This pic isn’t a very good shot as the battery was down and the flash didn’t go off, but it’s the best I could do.  LOL
