Please forgive me once again for not blogging for so long.
Last month I was too busy toasting and celebrating the holiday season with
friends and family. Then my boyfriend and I went to 
Needless to say I was in pure heaven. I’m pretty sure my
boyfriend was beginning to think to himself, dear lord please don’t let this be
her regular spending habit. Well I can assure him a little that it was an occasion
type thing but when you loose 100lbs, which is now what I am celebrating, it’s
really hard to walk past that cute top, skinny pair of jeans and boots. They
never used to fit like they do now and it’s one of the greatest feelings!
So another reason for the delay I couldn’t bring myself to post
it the blog I had written just after New Years. I was not 100% happy with my progress. I should re-phrase that I was happy
with it but then I thought I should have been loosing more. I really would have
liked to have had my 100lbs gone by December 31st but it just wasn’t
in the cards for me. I was at a major plateau and I also can’t sugar coat it
and say the holidays were a breeze or that I followed all the rules. "Protein first" or "sip water all day". Heck no! It was crab dip first and it wasn't water I was sippin' on either. Honestly who can't say they didn't toast a few cocktails and have a few too many
chips with dip. I’m no saint that’s for sure, but I still knew what my goal was
and I never once forgot it.
With a new year comes a new year’s resolution. 2013 was not without it’s hardships and when I think back to how it started and how I felt during that time, 100lbs heavier I can't believe how far i've come. All I remember now is the happiness I felt after that day on April 16th
when I had my surgery. Since then I have had a new outlook on life. I thought
to myself what kind of New Years Resolutions would I have for 2014? I have
already accomplished so much. I knew one was my 100lbs goal. But then I thought
to myself I have always had to have these major resolutions that were always
unreachable. I always needed to loose more than a few pounds or get more active
than just get a little more active. I always had huge resolutions because my
life and body needed a major overhaul. Since I am well past my “major overhaul”
and am now a little over 1/3 of the girl I used to be I am going to focus on
the little things in life. Getting a little more active. Maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. Just little things I can do to sustain all that I have accomplished.
I feel like I would like to loose 20-30lbs and if it takes me the whole year to
get there, so be it. If not well that’s great to! I am going to be just sitting
back in 2014 and enjoying all the little things I never did before and of
course go on a few more new adventures. 
Celebrating my 100lbs goal yesterday was a feeling I can’t
explain. I felt proud of myself before and I felt so good but there’s something
to be said for that feeling when you get to that one major goal you have been
waiting for your whole life. 100lbs! I never thought I would see it and I know
I’ve said that at every major milestone along the way but 100 just literally
blows my mind.
I hope this New Year has started out great for all of you
and you maybe have already achieved some goals or resolutions or maybe jyou ust
started putting them into action. Whether you have a goal or are just sitting
back enjoying life I want to thank you all again for supporting me in my
journey that is still ongoing. Thank you for your wonderful and uplifting
messages and comments. I truly appreciate all the feedback I get from you all
and wish you a year full of happiness, laughter and a little glitter.
Hugs & Glitter,
Chanty
