Where did it go? Wasn’t it just Valentine’s Day? I’m not ready to measure myself this month! Why??? Why is February so short???
Well, I will live, I guess. I measured myself (actually yesterday).
Here are my stats:
Chest: 47 3/4 down from 48
Waist: 43 1/4 down from 44
Hips: 46 – no change (I wonder if the hanging skin is making it have no change. The skin hangs more now but it’s not going anywhere, and no, I refuse to show it). I haven’t gone down even a quarter inch on my hips since I started this lifestyle change.
Upper Thigh: 21 1/2 down from 22 1/2
Upper Arm: 14 1/2 down from 15
So I’m winning the turtle race. I’m losing pounds slowly but surely and losing 1/4 inch at a time and I cannot complain about that. I’m definitely not quitting after seeing just a little progress. At least I made progress!!! 207.6 as of yesterday. I can’t believe it. This is working.
Pictures showing from the end of December 2017 to now. The 3rd one shows my belly every month, the end of each month – December, January, and now.
If my cookie and soda loving self can do this, anyone can. You have to make it a lifestyle, not a quick fix. I got this and you got this! Woo hoo!
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

I definitely see a difference! Awesome job! You motivated me, I wasn’t doing awesome unfortunately due to travels! And the holiday isn’t helping either! Back at it on tuesday!!
You are doing so wonderful, Julie! I think your positive attitude is a tremendous asset, too! And, just to imagine how many others you are encouraging through the posting of this experience!! As for it going slow, from all I’ve read and heard, that’s a good thing. It is said to be a more lasting change than if it is a quick weight loss. You are an inspiration! Give yourself a pat on the back and an, “Atta Girl!”, from me! 👏🤗💕
you’re doing great !
