weekend Inspiration...

I don’t know about you all but the weekend is the worst time for me to stay on track! I always say “I’m gonna be so good this weekend” and then I fail HARD! It’s amazing how well I do during the week, being a good girl and going to the gym (well I was good this week anyways) and eating my veggies (yuck) and then comes the weekend and I throw all my good girl behavior out the window by indulging in yummy yummy food or drinking all my calories with delicious beers and cocktails! Must be the rebel in me and also the lush in me! After the weekend I end up where I started the week before, bloated, moody and CRAVING foods I shouldn’t be eating and not to mention the scale goes right back to where it was! It’s a viscous cycle SO I thought I would give myself and all of you a little inspiration to get through this weekend without being so damn rebellious!


Thanks to my friend Erin for being a brave soul and allowing me to share these before and after photographs with you! Erin is a sexy, smart, fabulous… did I mention sexy Lady!! Erin and I have a lot in common as we have noticed through our weight loss journeys. She too is a stay at home mom, she has an adorable young man she calls her son! We also went to high school together, yet not very close friends we have reunited through this damn social networking business we all call Facebook!


When I started this blog Erin was one of my inspirations for weight loss… she looks AMAZING and I know that I can get there too! I just had to ask if she would mind me sharing her story and pics with you all because she has been such an inspiration to me, that she might just inspire some of you as well (she better because she looks DAMN good and you would be crazy not to be inspired)!


So here is her before photographs…







Now I think that Erin has always been lovely and I LOVE her style as well, but I can only imagine how much she hates these photos, just as I hate mine!! But it’s always nice to see how far we have all come, and this lady has come far! How far? Let’s just say ROCKIN’ 115 lbs. far!!! Seriously how amazing is that!! Erin is a freakin rock star!!







She looks absolutely amazing these days, and if I do say so myself, she is GLOWING!! I have stalked her Facebook page and photos and I just love when people say things like “Ok… stop losing weight now!” it’s so awesome to see her accomplishment! I can’t wait until people call me a “Skinny Bitch”!


I know that Erin, like me, struggles daily. It’s a “one day at a time” sort of thing and it will always be that way as far as I’m concerned. Like any addict, I know that I will always have this problem, it’s just how well I stick to my guns. Speaking of guns… you should see my newly found muscles, I love them! I will be blogging about them, DON’T WORRY!


Erin is a HUGE inspiration to me (no pun intended) and I just want to say thank you again to her for letting me share these with all of you! Please feel free to leave comments for Erin on here so she can feel even more awesome then she already looks! Now all I need to do is print out her photos and paste them on my fridge… is that creepy? Ok maybe a little...
