My first GOAL of 2019!!!

On Jan. 4, 2019 i wrote my goal down…

I wanted to be at my goal weight of 148lbs. This was the weight I was at before I had my daughter, who is now 3 years old!! Thats right chica, I let myself go… At this time in my life I had no clue what Self care was…

See at the time, I wrote this goal down I gave myself until July 31, 2019(my birthday) to really accomplish my goal… Girlfriend, I was 187lbs on Jan 4! I saw stretch marks in places I didn’t realize you could get them!!

I have always struggled with my weight!! Growing up with a young and hot mom(yes she is beautiful!) This is very important to know about my childhood! I helped my mom(who worked 3 jobs as a single mom) raise my 2 sisters… How does this pertain to my Goal of 2019?

I am a huge believer of things that happen to us when we are younger, take affect as an adult! Let me give you an example, I used to bite my nails growing up to coop with my stress and anxiety. As an adult it is a compulsive disorder I have retrained my brain to not do it anymore.

So how does helping my mom raise my 2 sisters tie in with my 2019 goal? Well you see, my mom didn’t know what good foods were. She didn’t understand that giving your kids whatever snacks they wanted to get 5 seconds of quiet time, was unhealthy! No this is not a jab at her parenting!!! if anything it is a lesson, she was 17 when she had me! My mom and I grew up together. Learning from one another. She is the reason I am an amazing mom to my 7 kids.

Okay, I could sit here all day talking about my amazing mom! But lets save that for Mothers day!!

So, I named my scale, she is the teller of all truth!! We have an indifferent relationship. She tells it like it is… and I named her Kendra! So I get on the scale this morning, I see the number 148. I jumped up and down like a little kid that just got a new puppy!

I did it!! My “baby weight” is finally off of me! I wanted to scream and shout so loud and wake my husband… But he just got home from a 14 hour shift, so not on the top of his list to hear my weight goal that early in the morning.

Now, I am here, writing to you! How proud I am of my 1st GOAL of 2019 is accomplished!!

Then this got me really thinking about goals this morning! This one goal to you think might be small… But girlfriend, before it was a Goal of mine.. It was a dream. To be sexy for my husband again, to have enough energy to play with my kids, to feel confident in my own skin, and most importantly to not hate looking in mirrors!

You have a dream! Whether its to be a professional dancer, the president of the US, a doctor or loose 15 lbs. Everyone has dreams!!

What holds you back from writing them down, turning them into goals, and accomplishing them?
