Reverse Transformation Tuesday

Happy Tuesday and happy transformation day!  I’m calling this my reverse transformation.  Typically you see people share their transformations when they have reached their ‘goal weight’ or when they are at a healthy point.  I’ve gone the opposite direction over the last five/six years so thought I would participate and share this transformation photo.  

Back in 2013 I lost about 20 pounds in six months by giving up fast food, eating right, and incorporating fitness into my life.  Then I met Tommy.  My will power and good habits diminished pretty quickly over the next couple of months.  I was staying up later, drinking a bit on the weekends, eating out a lot and late at night, and just not making the best food choices.  Since then, I slowly but quickly, have gained it all back plus a lot more.  I still remember the first time I gave in and went through the McDonalds drive-thru.  It was October of 2013 on my way back home from up north.  I felt so defeated- I was so close to making it one year without ANY fast food.  I failed and continued to have no will power because it was convenient on my weekend trips North.   

It was me that let myself create these unhealthy habits and it’s only me that can reverse them.  Shit happens and all we can do is learn and move on.  

My reverse transformation. Six years ago to now.

I am FINALLY doing the damn thing and it feels so good!  I can’t wait to share a new transformation picture down the road.

My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 Found this My obsession with plaids is real 🤣 

Found this flannel at Target on clearance and only paid $11!  It’s super thin yet soft and cozy.  I suggest you go to your nearest Target and take a look at the clearance section for it, otherwise it is still online but for $21 instead (still completely worth it). Available in plus sizes and runs true to size! 

Also, as you can probably tell by this picture, we are not in AZ anymore. We are temporarily hanging out at all of our parents’ houses in MN until we learn of another job/location for Tommy’s work. 

The boots are from Target too and they were an urgent purchase once we got to MN since we didn’t pack any winter clothes 🤪  They’re too small for my feet (didn’t have my size) and they’re too short for capris lol 

(Please also take note of Tommy’s photography skills. They are improving).

Anyone else love @impressnails? I love fake nails Anyone else love @impressnails?  I love fake nails but hate them as soon as they grow out because my hair gets caught. This way when I take them off I don’t feel guilty because they are so affordable!
