MY DAYS RAW SNACKS & LUNCH

I also have decided to not weigh myself until February 1st! I know it's going to be sooo painful, but I think ONE, it's healthy to not weigh yourself all the time and TWO I really would like to see how this diet effects my weight in it's entirety and not worry if the scale rocks up or down. 

I'm so beyond excited for 2016, I can accomplish my goals and find new challenges to overcome. If you want to join me on any of my diets or fitness challenges let me know, karlaehodge@gmail.com EMAIL ME! 

This is my family 5 months apart! The top is May 2015 and the bottom is October 2015! I can't wait to put up my next 5 month family picture! LOVE LOVE LOVE the comparisons. 

My many selfies from November/December 2015. My face is where I see the most difference in my weight loss! Check bones and a chin!!!! :)

Back to the GRIND - NEW YEAR NEW ME!

Dancing 4 Cheeseburgers,

The holidays were somewhat kind to me. I gained a total of  5lbs over three weeks. But I ate everything I don't normally eat, ice cream, chips, french fries, burgers the whole nine yards. I let myself be on vacation. I don't regret any of it. 

But starting this Monday, i'm starting a slightly new diet for the rest of the January month. It's called RAW TIL 4. You eat raw foods all day and a cooked after 4pm! I love it. I feel like it blends a lot of what i'm doing anyways. I'm going to try and see how I feel, and how much weight I lose! 

I have decided to lose about another 20lbs and then I'll be at a great weight and BMI. I'm hoping to complete this by March 19th! That gives me 10 weeks! (Slightly aggressive) But I feel still attainable.

Happy Holidays

Dancing 4 Cheeseburgers,

I just wanted to share my goals for over the holidays. My main goal is to not gain any weight! (not trying to loss any) but I really really don't want a gain. Then back at it for the new year! I'm hoping to lose a few more pounds, but nothing crazy.

My weight is at a comfortable weight now, I haven't been this small since University. But i'd love to be my TRUE GOAL weight, which i'm almost there!

December ME:

Thank you for following and continueing this Journey with me. There will still be lot's of ups and downs in the new year! I'm hoping to complete the second half of my Journey in January! See you then.

Bodyspirations & Daimonds

 Dancing 4 Cheeseburgers,

Here is my body motivation this week! Come on we can do it! I feel like these two ladies are my body motivations! I aspire to have similar results!

Here are their stats:

Kim Kardashian 

Age: 35

Height: 5 ft 2 1/2 inch

Weight: 143 lbs

Inches: 38-26-42

Christina Hendricks

Age: 40

Height: 5 ft 7 inches

Weight: 161lbs

Inches: 42-30-39

Very good weight and inches role models. Not stick skinny, curvy and healthy celebrities! I love both of their bodies! 

Here was one of my incentive gifts for reaching a mile stone: 

The Diamond: 

My daughters birthstone (April) 

My husband & I got married in April

I always say when my daughter was born, she completed our triangle and inside of a diamond it's made up of lots of little triangles. 

A diamond is an indestructible mineral; just like our family!
