Here we are, and it is hard to believe. But I have been eating clean and training consistently for a year now. Looking back, I cannot believe how far I had let myself go. Looking ahead, there is still so very much left to accomplish. Am I happy with it all? Yes, but not enough to stop. I need to keep going. I have new goals now, not just to "lose some weight." I have grown to love this lifestyle. I love my time in the gym. I love being strong and getting stronger. I love the look of lean muscle and definition. It is addicting. And as for my diet, well it is just a way of life now. I feel like I eat better than ever before, lean proteins, fresh veggies and fruit, very little processed carbs and of those, only whole grain. I feel good when I eat well, and I feel sick when I don't. Even if I succumb to a craving, I usually feel sick afterward and just end up craving my "health food" again. One year ago I would have never thought I would be here, and yet here I am. Long gone are my size 12s and size large clothes, replaced with size 4s and size smalls. The one thing I can say is that a program is critical to success, I could not have done this without some tracks to run on. And encouragement is priceless!!! So here's to the next step, taking it to the next level, and never, ever looking back!!!!
