🌸Where I started🌸

Okay ladies! Here it goes 31.1 lbs down in 56 days! It doesn’t look like much but, the way I feel has improved immensely! I am so happy with this progress ❤️ I have noticed my wedding ring is so loose it does not fit and slips off my finger at times when it used to be so tight it would look like it is suffocating my finger. I went from 55 inches on my waist to 47.5 inches now! And also, my pants are looser and I am closing in on my belts now instead of buying bigger ones!

I am officially 18.4 lbs to my base goal and I am 38.4 lbs to my main goal! I feel so close but, it is still a stretch!

One big thing is it is so hard to stay consistent and keep with it but, I am trying to keep my head held high and get my waist lower and know that with time it will be where I want to be.

So, this one here is to myself and everyone starting or already working on their work out goals.

It is possible! Take it from a mama of 4, 30 mins of YOU time is worth is needed and worth it! You deserve it!❤️🔥 #momsoflemon8 #bodytransformation #embracevulnerability #unfiltered #workfromhome

Where I started & where I’m going - STEM edition 📚
If you would’ve told freshman me that I would now be getting my PhD and Physics. I would’ve thought you were crazy. I went into college, choosing a major based on what I thought other people wanted from me instead of what I actually enjoyed and I’m really glad that I was able to make the change
