Transformation Tuesday 10/15/2013
I'm really loving how my body is changing with each and every day! This is a month to month progress picture August, September, and October is the time frame. Like I say EAT CLEAN, AND TRAIN MEAN. You'll absolutely be happy with the results you receive it truly is the work that you put in. Mind over matter really does make a difference in all that you do, if your a negative person you're not going to receive the results you want because you'll be downing yourself and its just not gunna happen that way, so stay POSITIVE continue being a happier person by being upbeat people will notice the difference in your personality. I really do want to hear about all of your progress, you as my followers really do mean a lot to me. I'm going to work on an E-mail list so if you'd like to be included on it be sure to let me know I don't want anyone left out! Tip of the day: The healthier you eat the more you can get away with eating! For all of you food lovers like me! So todays workout was pretty intense for me. It lasted 2 whole hours I never thought I'd get to the point that my workouts would last that long. I was honestly in shock with myself but I was also incredibly proud because that is some serious progress for me. If you'd like a workout plan built by me let me know and I'd be happy to put one together for you! No matter what level of experience you have you've got to get up and go after what you want! Accountability is a big issue for some of us! I know it can be for me which is why I started writing Southern Sweetheart so I could keep up with what I was doing and so y'all could come on my journey with me! The blog has really been a blessing for me I never knew how relaxing it could be to just write what I felt out for people to read, each and every day I grow as a person becoming more confident, happy, healthy, and humble. Write your goals everywhere so your reminded of why your doing this! I think I may hit the hay for the night! GOOD NIGHT TO ALL!

I'm down 22 Pounds!!! 10/11/2013
Ok so this picture ranges from August 8, 2013 to October 9, 2013. I'm really happy with the changes that are going on with my body at the moment my clothes are obviously fitting better and I have a ton of confidence in myself here lately! Y'all really don't realize what a big difference it is when you see someone you knew and they tell you how good your looking, its an instant mood booster! For those of you who use Instagram an awesome app for your transformations is Picstitch I love it and constantly use it for mine as you can see in the picture above that's what was used, Also I'm a huge hashtager so if you follow me excuse them if your not if you are great! For me Instagram is really inspirational and motivating because not only can I track my journey I can watch others as well. I was thinking of putting some meal/ workout plans on here! I'd like to hear some input on that! Eating healthy is really important when it comes to weight loss and for those who disagree how many cheeseburgers have you eaten today? So definitely eat clean if you wanna lose weight, now am I saying that you have to constantly eat salad no eating clean involves protein, greens, good carbs, and grains. Disclaimer: I don't eat healthy all day every day but I try to make the healthiest decision possible. Oh! Huge weight loss tip DRINK lots of WATER I know for some of you that's fightin' words but ya have to do what ya have to do. I try for the most part to drink a gallon a day some of you are probably thinking that's a ton but really measure out how many cokes your drinking then it doesn't seem so bad. I haven't had a DR. Pepper in almost a year which is a really big deal because I was the biggest DR. Pepper drinker there ever was but I just kinda thought to myself do I really need to be spending the extra money on something that makes me feel like I've got no energy, always tired, didn't wanna do anything, and just felt bad about myself. Here's a simple idea we can all accomplish write your goals down and post them all over in the car, on the wall, fridge, bathroom mirror, or any mirror really just as a reminder of why your doing this and what you want. I'll be honest you're going to have days where working out doesn't seem appealing at all but just get up and do it anyway no matter how much you don't want to just do it. In the long run you'll thank yourself and be like that wasn't so bad I knew I could pull through it and I did. Give yourself pep-talks I know that seems kind of strange but it helps build your self-esteem and confidence. Always always always stay positive! Everyone has to start somewhere, even the worlds strongest man had to start at the beginning its not like he was born that way. Well I'm going to get off my soap box for the night I've got to be up at the crack of dawn for a health fair!

Woot Woot 10/06/2013
So I've had some success with my weight loss! I'm excited about the future results! I've had so much energy here lately its insane what the body is capable of when it feels good. So eat clean and train mean! I'd really like to hear about y'alls journey and maybe I'll post your transformations! Oh just for future reference I'm putting together a contest for a necklace I don't know what the stipulations are yet... But you'll be getting a cool necklace made by the one and only me! Life's been a little crazy here lately working constantly and my roommate is going off to basic training(Army) so if y'all could keep him in your prayers for the next few months it'd be greatly appreciated. Oh and also I have a friend who really needs prayer she had her baby at 20 weeks and for those of you who don't really know what that means baby was only halfway done cookin'., but good news is she's alive and progressing with each day so I'd say that's a medical miracle!

Pumping Iron 09/03/2013
Today I managed to get through a work out. I didn't realize how out of shape I really was, but don't worry it only inspires me to accomplish my goal. So what if I have to work a little harder than others, it just means I'm stronger. Perseverance is a huge factor in accomplishing any goal. Someone I know always says if your going to do anything in life your going to need The 3 C's which are Coachable, Committed, and Consistent. In all reality she's right because if your not coachable your not capable of learning, if your not committed then you'll never follow through with what you started, and consistent every one wants results so keep doing what your doing to move forward or stay stagnant.

Ok so I've got a question for everyone.... What are y'all wanting to read about? I still have plenty of ideas so don't be worried that I"m running out. The idea of my readers letting me know what they want is awesome though. Oh and for all the momma's don't you worry I've got a section for y'all coming soon, I still have a ton of research to do in that department since I don't have a clue as to what being a mommy is like. Oh I'll be adding a Money Saving section for all of you who have been wondering about that. I"m still not all that sure how the whole couponing world works just yet. Bare with me on that.

Well this awesome chick right here and I went to a little joint called Fuzzy's, and enjoyed some delicious margaritas, and queseo. Now my day is filled with Greys Anatomy and Netflix. If y'all are into that show and haven't seen season 9 carry lots of tissues around, because its full of tear jerkers! Don't worry I don't do spoiler alerts, be thankful for that. Anyway back on topic, the photo was taken last night during a little Sunday funday. Torrie is actually my new workout partner so we'll definitely have posts about her transformation also so be prepared! Well I'm going to get up and go do stuff! Happy Labor Day!! Be Safe!

Holy Guacamole! 08/31/2013
Goodness gracious I can't even begin to express how exciting this was for me! The family was laughing at me for doing a mini victory dance... I'm sure I was quite the sight to see; I feel like this is a huge breakthrough for me on my journey as a new blogger. Where to start on the thank you's I owe to all of you who have viewed Southern Sweetheart . The plan for this blog is to continue growing, networking, and connecting with all of you. Honestly I can't thank everyone enough for the love and support that I've received since I began writing Southern Sweetheart.

Are you having a fabulous Friday? 08/30/2013
So its a little late and some of you may not get to read this until Saturday. I hope everyone is safe during this Labor Day holiday. But anyway I'll get back on track! All in all my day was pretty awesome, I got up went to work had some hilarious moments there! Apparently my boss cooks chicken and rice in a crackpot! Hahaha! It was probably one of those moments you had to be there. (She doesn't really have a crackpot she misspelled crock-pot.) We did tons of organizing around the office; which is super awesome in reality and will save us a ton of time in the long run. Oh! I found out I get to start volunteering for hospice again, I'm really excited about that; My patients really mean a lot to me. For those of you who don't really know what hospice is, it's end of life care for those who have terminal illnesses, also it mainly consists of older folks so I get to hear a ton of stories about what it was like back then, meaning I get history lessons through the eyes of those who lived during the time it happened. So.... I was a bad girl today as far as my eating goes I'll probably be bulging for indulging. There's consequences for all we do and that's one I'll have to deal with, but I'll definitely be trying to work it out tomorrow! Well I'm getting rather sleepy since its almost midnight here in my little map-dot of a town and there's not much of anything to do but hit the hay so with that being said good night!!

First post 08/27/2013
This is my transformation Tuesday picture the one on the left was taken at the end of June and the other is 08/26/2013 I noticed that my face was thinning out which is awesome! I'm also 7lbs. lighter which is super exciting!
For dinner We're having deep dish pizza which the recipe came from none other than Pintrest! All it has to it is biscuits, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese . Simple, quick, and easy.
Well I guess I'll get off my little soap box for the night and go munch on my dinner.
