Hey Ya’ll!
So, spring is quickly approaching and it’s time to focus on
my health. For my wedding back in August of 2013 I got down to 195 but while on my
honeymoon I was enjoying life, my husband, and FOOD (plantains, rice, and everything fried) which resulted in me going up to
207….Yikes! My ultimate goal is to get out the 200’s so that’s what I plan to
do.
Two weeks ago I started this workout called T25. The workout is by Shaun T and he also did Insanity. I love T25 because it’s quick and straight to the point. Although, the workouts are only 25 minutes, Shaun T pushes you to the max. I swear I’ve used muscles that I never knew I had lol. After two weeks I already see results! My legs and arms are firmer and my stomach has went down. I feel amazing after I do the workouts and I can’t wait to see my results after month three. In the beginning of the first week I weighed 207 but now I am currently 201.5 and my goal is to get to 175-180.

| My first day doing T25 |
I have drastically cut my eating habits in half and I use
the app my fitness pal. You wouldn’t believe how recording what you eat can
have a major impact on weight loss. I do
slip up here and there but I just get back on track and keep it going like
nothing ever happened. Getting skinny is not on my agenda because I love my curves too much and I don’t plan to get to my goal overnight so I’m taking this
process slow. I hope to be at my goal by June 1st.

Along with T25 I also go to the gym with my husband and do additional
workouts at home such as TaeBo whenever I get the chance. It’s nothing like
having a support system. My husband has been there to motivate me from day one.
I love how we motivate each other and have each other back. He is also trying
to get healthier and shed a few pounds. I love him the way he is but if he
wants to lose weight then we’ll be in this together! I love it when he does T25
with me! Poor tink be so tired after the workout but he never complains. Also,
my best friend India has been in my corner with my weight loss journey. She
also uses my fitness pal with me and we’re always talking about what we ate
during the day, different workouts, and what we can do to gain better results as she is also trying to shed a few pounds.

Follow me on Instagram @mzmoniboo as I’m using that as a
platform for my weight loss journey. I want to start posting pics and videos of
my process and from that I hope to encourage others who are on a weight loss
journey or who is thinking about embarking on one!!!
Stay tuned for more posts about this crazy but hopefully
rewarding journey I’m on :D
