Blast from the Past - 2008 Awards

I can honestly say that changing my eating habits, making exercise a priority and staying positive (most days) is definitely something I've had my eye on from day one.

It started as a weight loss journey, but quickly shifted into a major change on my outlook of health.

While scanning Facebook yesterday, I caught this bad-boy survey in the corner of my eye and had to post it!

Isn't it funny how some things change in a major way, yet after 5 years (shy one month), you would have written the exact same thing in that blank?

It's funny because when I start to lose my drive while working out, I play Disturbia over and over and over. This song is definitely one that still amps me up!

Joining the gym. My god, if I had never joined the gym, I'd probably still have that little big muffin top and be an unpleasantly plump prune!

Get in shape. To date, this is still a major plan at the beginning of every year.

Although much has changed since 2008, it's nice to know that at the end of the day, changes to a healthier and happier me are still a major biggie to my every day regime.



December 2008 - somewhere between 195lbs and 204lbs
