Fat Bombs – Do you use them?

Published | By Heather

I have been having a bit of a struggle to get the scales moving in the right direction since the new year and me being totally back on the low carb/keto way of life!

Although it’s frustrating as hell, I know it is a plateau and we all go through them. The pounds will start dropping again but in the meantime…. ugh!!

We’ve all been here, right? Continue reading →

A question I get asked regularly … Did I Exercise?

Published | By Heather

Can I tell you something?

I’m lazy!!

I’ve never been a person to go out and do a bunch of physical activity, sign up for a sport or anything like that.

Confession Time:

Gym classes in school were something I got out of as soon as I could.
My mother lives 2 blocks away from me and most often I drive rather than walk
Any THOUGHT of doing something physical would send me screaming toward a bag of potato chips!
I’m the kind of person that will circle a parking lot 3 times to get a closer spot
I would (and have) get someone to do my shopping for me. Walking up and down a shopping mall seems entirely pointless to me and a huge waste of time

I’m talking REALLY lazy!! Continue reading →

My Weight Loss Journey to Health

It has been almost 2 full years now that I have been on a journey.

In July of 2015, I was feeling terrible. I was so overweight that walking even short distances was painful. By that I mean that it was even hard for me to walk around a grocery store. My feet and legs were ALWAYS swollen. I had eaten myself into a diabetic diagnosis, my blood pressure was high, and daily tasks of managing my household would be exhausting.

I simply was NOT enjoying my life!!!

I honestly felt like if I didn’t do something to lose a few pounds, I wasn’t going to be around to see the next 5 years. Back then the idea of even losing a few pounds was GINORMOUS!! My goal at that point was to get back under 300 pounds (there I said it). I don’t even remember when my weight crept up as high as it was, I think it was a slow process over the years of just not taking care of me. Continue reading →

Sharing My Healthy Weight Loss Journey

Published | By Heather

I posted a Facebook update the other day, and the response was overwhelming on both my personal page and in the 90 Day Challenge Group that I belong to. I received many many comments, likes, and personal messages requesting me to start sharing more of what I am doing to achieve such a weight loss.

First, I am very thankful for all of the support you guys are awesome!

It is hard for me to post updates such as these because it is hard to admit that I had totally given up on myself and my health. I was literally dying a slow death by potato chips and crap food! Continue reading →
