#progressnotperfection

I had a friend post about this the other day and it made me think. Think of the struggles I've been through. My trials and tribulations. Things I have fought for or given up. But everything that has happened, has landed me here today. 

Today, where I still have a long way to go, but I am at a point where I am becoming the happiest and healthiest I've ever been.....Probably ever! I was the person with excuses.... " It cost too much", "I dont have time", "I cant give that up"! Were excuses I used to avoid the topic. Well guess what......I get up every morning at 445am so that I have my time to workout and read my personal development books. I also go to bed around 8pm. Those late night TV shows can either be caught up on, on Netflix- or I didnt really need them at all. 

I also gave up my almost everyday habit of Starbucks and pepsi. This was hard. I still stopped every so often and still fight the urge to go. But for what I paid for my daily Starbucks is the cost of my daily Shakeology drink- which is better for me anyway! This aspect also helped me where the cost was concerned. Once you add up the unnecessary items, you will find a way. Now, I make my iced coffees at home. ;)

I'm not saying my journey has been easy. It's been quite the opposite. It's been hard, I've wanted to give up and quit everything I've been doing. I find excuses for myself. Which I later regret! But I am learning and I am pushing through! But when I get to see my before and "during" pics(This isn't over yet!) and how people respond to my progress and when they thank me for inspiration......It makes it all worth it and helps me push forward! 

I am currently working on my goal of losing 100lbs. I started this about 6-8 months ago. I have currently lost 43lbs and I have 57 more to go!
