Good BYE 2016

With only a couple of more days until 2017 I have to say 2016 was not too bad for me and my family.  We have so much to be thankful for.  My husband has his dream job of being a police officer, I have 3 beautiful girls that I love more than they will ever know.  I have a great job that I get to work from home,  I have a beautiful older home, I have food on our table and clothes on our back.  

I lost 61 lbs this year, I have got my health back, I am not a diabetic anymore.  I am doing better with my depression.  ( I think this is something I will struggle with the rest of my life).  I look back a year ago today and was heading down the wrong health path, I was 226 lbs, I was in a size 18-20,  I was always tired, I was taking so much medicine every single day, I was eating out 2 to 3 times a day, I was not ever exercising.  Now I can say I don’t take the medicine like I use to, I am down to 165 lbs.  I am in a size 10-12 I try to work out as much as I can even if it’s just my stationary bike, I get up early in the morning, most the time I get ready first thing in the morning, I am much happier, my marriage is so much better, I am still tired but I guess that is being a full time working mom.  I want to do more in life.  I want to be a better person, better wife, better mom.

Every year I write down all my goals for the new year, I have high hopes to do it all, to accomplish it all, but within the first 2 weeks, I FAIL!!!!!!  This new year I am going to write down all my realistic goals and DO THEM…. I am going to be blogging about everything!!! this blog is for me to be held accountable.  I know if I am held accountable I do so much better.  There is no better time than this new year to make it my year, the year for Shay.  I am going to be sharing all the good, the bad and the ugly,  I will share my mistakes, the things I accomplish, the things that I don’t accomplish.  I am going to do it.  I want to loose another 15 - 20 lbs and get my stomach skin a little tighter since it’s so loose ( I KNOW TMI) but that is what happens when you let your self get as big as I did.  I wanted to get a tummy tuck on 2017, but I have decided since I pay for a gym membership and don’t use it like I am suppose to, that I am going to start going to the Gym and start toning that way instead of instantly going for a straight tummy tuck,  I am going to write down all my measurements, share them with you, So I am held accountable EVERYTHING.

I am going to post all the food i put in my mouth, all the food I cook for my family.  I am going to post it all.  I want all my family and friends to know how much I love each one of you and for all your support and encouraging words you have given me.  I was to say good bye to 2016 and hello to an AWESOME AMAZING 2017. Are you ready to go on this long emotional roller coster with me?
Love you all so much!!!!!
