The Meltdown - My Weight Loss Journey

I knew I weighed more than I wanted to and was a little overweight. But then I went to the doctors where I received a receipt with a warning about my BMI and the fact that I was overweight. It suggested I should start losing weight and even offered some tips. I was shocked and embarrassed. Even worse, I'm pretty positive that my fiance, then boyfriend, had definitely read it before me, because I hadn't looked at it right away. I can feel the blood rushing to my face now just thinking about it. I knew then that I had to do something, but did I? No of course not, like the procrastinator I am I pushed it off. Then I got engaged... this is serious now, I must lose weight. 

This bitch needs to move! 

Currently I weigh 138 pounds. My goal is to lose 25 to 30 pounds by February 1, 2020 and then to maintain that weight until my wedding day on March 28, 2020. 

I joined Crunch Fitness, and have already taken a few classes. I've also began to eat better. Since I've joined the gym I've lost about 2 pounds which makes me feel great about myself, but I still have a long way to go. Crunch offers an array of classes, which is why I wanted join this gym. Honestly, I'm so confused about what to do with the workout equipment within the gym and don't know what exercises to do without looking at my phone that I feel like an idiot. That's why I love taking classes, they provide you the instruction and it's super easy to follow along. Sure I look like a hot pink oompa loompa while doing them, but there will come a time when I don't! 

I signed up for the Peak membership at Crunch, which gives me access to all 22 classes they offer and live video workouts through their app. I plan on trying all of the classes they offer and then creating a schedule that works for me of the classes I like best. I also love that they have live workout videos on their app, so if I can't make it to the gym I can always get in a quick workout. 

I'm also focusing on eating healthier. I'm not calling it a diet, because I don't want to limit myself to what I can and cannot eat. If I want something sweet, I want to be able to have it without someone judging me and mentioning my diet. I'm trying to go for an overall lifestyle change, not just a temporary one.

 I'm probably one of the most unhealthy and pickiest eaters most of my friends know. This is the girl who wouldn't eat anything green until she was like 21.... it's a serious issue people! So my biggest challenge is going to be overcoming my pickiness. I'm hoping to expand my palate while trimming my waist!

Finding the right vendors

When we started looking for vendors, I scoured the internet but mostly I was planning on relying o recommendations from friends. Turns out this wasn't as great a plan as it sounds. Although I was able to get some great recommendations, we kept thinking we could find a better price. We stayed diligent and were able to find great vendors at a fraction of the cost of what some others had paid. So the best advice I can give you is to keep looking until you find a great vendor at the right price. It may seem impossible but it's not! When it came to our photographer, I knew exactly who I wanted. This amazing photographer that is the sister-in-law of my Fiance's best man. I've had my heart set on them photographing my wedding since I met them and started following their page. I was warned that they were pricey, but when I inquired and found out just how pricey my mouth dropped. There was no way we could possibly afford them, their cheapest package started around $5,000. I ...

PSA!

Something I'd like to share with everyone, in case you didn't know because you just never bothered to look into it like me - apparently FabFitFun does giveaways! I've been getting my boxes for almost a year now, and I've just noticed this now.... it's very unfortunate especially since this stuff is great. Their giveaways this season are ranging from $140 to $915, which doesn't include the trip giveaway.  I recently learned from my friend that I could customize my boxes - I know I'm terrible I really need to look into what I'm purchasing here because I'm missing out on perks. I'm sad I didn't pick out a couple of the things because I wish I could enter those giveaways. There's probably a good possibility that I could still, but when there's a hint that you should include the product of the brand doing the giveaways, it makes you feel like maybe you should skip that one. I'm excited! Let me just apologize now for my Instagram ...

What's the bravest thing you've done recently?

The bravest thing I've done recently is to confront a "friend" about lies she's told about me and how I feel about our friendship. If you read my earlier blog post "To invite or not to invite?" you may remember the friend I'm referring to. For those that didn't or need a recap - here's a little back story:  In 2013 on of my former best friends asked if I'd be interested in temping at the bank she was temping at. I jumped at the opportunity and was very grateful. At the time I did not have a car and was working at a daycare making very little so I was unable to save the money I needed to purchase a new one. We lived within five minutes of each other so we would car pool. Her sister that also worked with us created a payment system -  at first the three of us car pooled with her sister driving, we would each give her $30 a week, then when she got a car of her own and it was just the two of us driving, I would pay her $35 a week for gas. I ...
