Success Stories!



Success Stories? We all have them! It may be family related, job related, physical related, but we all have them! Some we like to share and others we would rather HIDE. 
What is your success story? 

I started Weight Watchers July 27, 2017 with a determination of a change! 
I didn't only want a change with my weight, but I wanted a change in my mind, Soul and Body! I wanted a change not with my looks, but with how I felt! I wanted to be able to play with my kids and not be to tired or not be able to get down in the floor or not be able to run and play! I wanted my kids to have great memories! I was going through something in my physical body that had been going on for many years and I wanted a change. I KNEW what I was putting in my mouth played a HUGE part of what was going on with my body. SO I MADE A CHANGE!

I walked into my first Weight Watchers meeting, scared, nervous, afraid of failure but left encouraged. The leader asked a question..... "Why are you here? What are you doing this for? Different people would say "for my kids, "for my family" "for my grand kids" but then 1 lady spoke up and said..... "We can do all of this for everyone else, but we have to do it for OURSELVES FIRST!" We have to have a change in us before we can ever be we want to be for others. We can't help anyone, unless we help ourselves first! That has stuck with me for these 4 weeks. If I think about cheating, or giving up, or not wanting to exercise I start thinking about ...... OK KIM... YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR YOU TO LIVE, DO IT! 

I have not always made the best choices of food, but I have not went over my points at all in this 4 weeks time because I am determined for a change. and now at week 4 I am to excited about how I FEEL... I can LIVE again! I can play with my kids better, my clothes are getting to big, I can sleep better, I FEEL BETTER! 

Think of something you have been successful with and how it made you feel afterwards? 
Now think about your health..... how it is making you feel??? You can have a success story with ANYTHING in your life... but sometimes it takes alot of hard work anddetermination to get there....but just think about how you will feel once you are there!!!!

4 weeks in and have already lost 15.4 Lbs! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Rewards / Goals

Rewards? Reaching Goals? Setting Goals? Incentives?  I went out this evening and bought a jar from Dollar tree and added "Fit Tip" on it with vinyl.  What is this Jar you may ask??? For every Pound that I lose I put $1 in the Jar. For every Good exercise I do, I put $1 in the Jar! This $$ is for me! SO far I have $18 in it! 17 for the pounds I have lost and $1 for a great workout today!!! I am planning on using this for new clothes as I lose along the way! :) Just something to small to help make my journey a little more fun!!!!  Sometimes all it takes it something very small to get us motivated!!!

What am I doing???

I keep getting asked alot exactly what is my routine since joining Weight watchers!  So here is a breakdown of a normal day in the life of ME!  I get up every morning at 7am. I get my 2 Toddler boys up (ages 4 and 5). I get them dressed and ready for school and while they are eating breakfast I normally have a Protein Shake for breakfast.... This is what I drink. I have tried Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberries and cream and banana and cream so far and LOVE everyone of them! I like to put mine in the freezer for 30 minutes before drinking.  Drop kiddos off at school and do my thing. I try 5 times a week to come home and walk on my treadmill for 2 miles (38 minutes). I have been able to work myself up to jogging for a few seconds at a time every so often (who knew I would enjoy to jog... just can't do much yet, but plan too!)! I shower (thats the worst part of exercising, you have to instantly get in the shower) and then do some laundry or some housework and ...
