The Worst Kind of Blogger...

      So, according to blogger I haven't submitted anything since August 22, 2012 which would make me the worst blogger of all time. Don't fret! There may not have been any updates but I kept the fight to get fit going. I have lost 42 pounds since starting this journey but you don't want to know how! Of course I'm going to tell you anyway. I began with the Whole30; the hardest thing I've ever attempted, I failed miserably twice. Coincidentally both times ended on the 16th day. Each time helped me escape a weight-loss plateau. I also dabbled with the Atkins plan (My husband's idea) the plan seemed like a great idea. I get to eat meat and cheese?? SIGN ME UP! It was great! Until I checked my blood pressure...yeah never again but it was the thought that counted right? Anyone? No? Fine! And the last failed mission to get to thin, hot mama status was Body by Vi. I actually love this program but I don't think it loved me. So here I am, weighing in at 286, still obese but definitely not as obese as I started last summer.
        I've been looking for a program that has the support of having a nutritionist/Weight Watchers while also making me workout. Don't get me wrong, working out at Dance Trance has been the best experience and I'm still hooked. But if I want to get to my goal of 200 lbs before the end of the year, I'm going to have to go hard (Dance Trance song) which led me to The Beach Body Challenge! I start on Monday with some friends of mine and I am stoked. My short term goal is to reach 250! So here goes nothing and I will be keeping up with the blog a little better because I'm going to expect you guys to stroke my ego ;) A little before picture action to keep me going, nothing like a little shame to get you fired up. Well ta-ta kiddos, I'll check back in after my first Power90 work out. (Sorry I went a little link happy)

XOXO, Dev
