Introduction Text Hi Guys! My name is Chrissy and I am 40 & Fabulous! I have not always had that positive attitude though! Here's a little of how I got here...... I have been dealing with weight issues my whole life. Several years ago I lost a total of about 100 lbs. Great, right?! Yeah, at the time, but I became one of those people that I swore I would never be...... I gained it almost ALL back! I spent the following few years feeling sorry for myself and being downright pissed off about it. I guess I was waiting on the Weight Loss Fairy to come make it right again, but to my bitter disappoinment, she/he never came. Sooooo, I got on the scale finally, and after I had a complete meltdown, I decided that the W.L. Fairy was not coming and that I needed to take responsibility for myself. I have a serious job ahead of me, but am trying to take it "one day at a time". (I hate cliches, sorry). But that is what I am doing. I have 100 lbs to lose......stay tuned. :-) Thanks for listening.....or reading, I mean! UPDATE: Jan 3, 2012 Ok, so bear with me, I'm going to be cliche as hell..... I have completely fell off the wagon during the Holidays and am ready and needing to get back on track.... New Year and all....blah, blah, blah. I also joined another Health Challenge in my town (I think this is my 4th time....) So, my promise to you (AND MYSELF) is this: Do everything and anything necessary to become the healthier girl I deserve to be! Period. UPDATE: July 25, 2012 I've officially lost 56lbs so far. It's been a roller coaster of up and down's as you can see by my weekly updates below. But the most important thing is....... I HAVEN'T QUIT!! I feel great about my accomplishments so far and am so excited to see how far I can push myself. How far I can succeed. I'm learning new things about myself and how to deal with food. My exercise is very, very consistent! It's a definite habit to get up EVERY morning and exercise! Yayyy, finally! I am absolutely LOVING the BLC, especially my team Azure Destinations! Today is also the 1st day of my 1st SAC! I love how these challenges keep me accountable! :-) UPDATE: Jan 8, 2013 OK..... I have lost approximately 72lbs to date! I'm very, VERY proud of that! I am soooo ready to keep going and hoping to lose the rest of the 100 this year! My ultimate goal was to lose it by my birthday which is March 19th, but I believe that is pushing it just a little. I will be happy with a consistent loss no matter how slow. Something I have learned...... being consistent is much, MUCH better than trying to "power lose" quickly. I am getting ready to begin BLC21 and with that I will be starting the Chalean Extreme Workout. I have big hopes for this year! My BLC team the Midnight Mustangs and I are going to be huge! Well, I mean, we're going to be smaller...... you know what I mean! :-) BLC18 (Azure Destinations): Starting Weight: 238 Ending Weight: 222.7 LOSS: 15.3lbs BLC 19 (Azure Destinations): Starting Weight: 225.3 Ending Weight: 203.5 LOSS: 21.8lbs SAC3 (Baby Got SAC): Starting Weight: 205 Ending Weight: 198 LOSS: 7lbs BLC 20 (Midnight Mustangs): Starting Weight: 201.7 Ending Weight: 187.4 LOSS: 14.3lbs BLC 21 (Midnight Mustangs): Starting Weight: 193 (Grrr) Ending Weight: 178.4 LOSS: 14.6lbs :-) I'm happy with that! **My goal is to at least "maintain" during the break between BLC21 & BLC22.

I have slowly gained a few pounds and it's time to get back to what is important here. ME! :-) Some parts of my life are out of control, BUT I am learning to accept that I cannot control other areas. This. This I CAN control. I can do my very best to be successful. I haven't been doing that lately. It's always been up to me and me alone to get this area of my life under control. I have worked really, REALLY hard at it for quite some time now, but I see it slipping away. I am committing myself to grasp ahold once again and fight for this. 30day Challenge (ends at the beginning of BLC26) Aug 18 - Sept 17th With BABYFACE CHRISSY!! ***Track everyday, stay in range 15/30 days, Min of 180 Fitness Minutes/week, Tricep Dip 30 Day Challenge*** Starting Weight: 185lbs Week 1 Fitness Minutes: 205 Week 1 Tricep Dip Challenge: On track!

And it's been a rollercoaster of sorts in my world, especially with my weight. I have gained about 25lbs and am back up to (as of today) 191lbs. I refuse to cross back over to the dark side of the 200's! I have been in quite the funk for the last many months! I've lost my Momma to the angels in November. So, along with that and LIFE, and the holidays...... those are my excuses. BUT.... I'm tired of the excuses and am declaring it time to get this back on track. Here are my steps to get there: I have started tracking regularly I have started at the Fit Factory (soon to be F45 Training) I am getting back to lifting weights I have also just been named a "Sparkpeople Motivator" which is a huge honor! I can't even imagine that I motivate anyone, but hopefully that's true and I sure want to continue that. And with that, I want to be a good role model and a success! Here's to not starting over, but to NOT QUITTING!! BLC28: BRONZE WELLNESS WARRIORS SW: 188
