Numbers don’t lie
All during my life I was told that numbers don’t lie. The
number that recently hurt the most, because it is always true, is the number on
the scale. After my baby boy was born in December 2011 and breastfeeding was
finished 10 months later, it was time to get healthy. It took me 7 months to
make up my mind to do something about it but once that decision was made…look
out. Becky O’Brien and Shaklee 180 gave me the tools to get healthy and not to
be afraid to talk about numbers.
So here are some numbers over the past 5 years…I will let
them speak for themselves.
2008 Married
at 160 lbs; wore size 10
2009 Moved to
VA from CA at 165 lbs
2010 Met with
Becky O’Brien to figure out why my stomach hurt so much
Started
taking daily: 1 optiflora, 2 vitea-lea, 20 alfalfa
2011 Got
pregnant at 170 lbs
Delivered
at 205 lbs
2012 Breastfed
and got down to 175 lbs; wore size 12
2013 Began
eating healthy and got down to 165 lbs; wore size 12
2013 April; disappointed
and depressed…the weight did not come off anymore
May
5th; Attended a Shaklee event and was motivated by a 180 success story
May
9th; Began my 180 turnaround adventure at 165.2 lbs; wore size 12
I went from a pant size 12/14 to
a 6/8
I dropped from a 38 C to a 34 D
bra size
Size large shirts don’t feel
good anymore…they are too big and bulky.
I wore a 2-piece bathing suit
for the 1st time in 2 years in July!
Am I done…nope…am I doing 180 at
full-blown speed…nope. I am doing what I need to do to maintain my weight,
loose a little each week and stay in a size 8 pant and a 2-piece bathing suit.
