11 weeks down and 21 weeks to go!!!

Hello hello!!!

It's week 11 of this journey and I've got 21 weeks to go till show time!  I'm putting in the hard work, seeing some changes that I've never known before which is fun and scary at the same time.  I'm usually the kind of person who likes being in charge :)  so this is different!  I've been prepping meals weekly and just adjusting my life to fit this new lifestyle and I love it.  My whole life is different now, I wake up early enough to get a lot of stuff done rather than just make it to work, I have more energy to keep things clean and tidy at the house a lot more regularly than I used to, I'm able to physically do more than before.  So this hasn't just been a change for my body but for my life.

When I met with my trainer today for our session we talked about the moments when I have stronger cravings and she gave me a little recipe of peanut butter and cocoa nibs to satisfy my chocolate craving and since the start of this journey I've come to really love peanut butter!  (which if you think about it, is a healthy alternative to the Reese's peanut butter cups that I so love!)

So without further ado here's the progress pics for this week!  I've put them side by side with my day 1 photo!





There's also some progress pics of my back and arms too.  My back actually is more defined but it is SO hard to get a good pic of my back and I haven't worked up the courage to ask someone to help just yet.  Seems like a strange request to ask of someone haha.  But someday I'll get a better picture!  

The only other thing is that I've just naturally started to crave more water so I've been able to drink more than my normal gallon of water.  Usually an extra 32-64 oz.  Which is good!  

I'm hoping everyone is having an awesome day today!  I've got to get ready for work!  I've got my cheat meal coming up on Saturday and I'm thinking..........Thai food!!!!!  There's this bomb Thai place that I've been wanting to try since we moved here and finally this Saturday, it will get in my belly!!! YAY!!!! Just a little excited :)  

Cheers!
Ash
