How to Find My Happy Weight

Welcome to my "Finding My Happy Weight" blog!

Basically...instead of spamming my social media feeds with all of my weight loss goals, accountability pictures, etc., I decided to set up a blog because I feel like this is more than just a commitment to just working out every day.

Weight and I have a long history. I've lost it. I've gained it. I've yo-yo'd. I'm tired of it.

They say a tracked number grows. I wonder if it works in reverse. Can a tracked number shrink? Let's try it!

I am the mom of three beautiful children -- two are fabulous, budding strong women. I want them to have a healthy relationship with food and fitness. To do that, I have to develop a healthy relationship with food and fitness.

Losing weight is a journey. I know I didn't gain it overnight. I'm not going to lose it overnight. There will be wins. There will be losses (both physically and mentally). There will be plateaus. I know this -- and I am ready to face this challenge head-on.

Many organization's fiscal years run July to June. This year...I am investing in myself. FY19 is the "Year of Suzanne." I have big goals for me, my business, my life and my health -- and I intend to meet every single one of those goals.

But...I need accountability. Not necessarily feedback. But I have to be accountable to myself. So...I plan to post about my daily wins and daily struggles here. I'll update you with pictures, funny memes, and whatever else that pops into my head. I may share a recipe or two. Who knows...

Today...I share my goals.

Goal 1: Workout hard 5x a week

Goal 2: Be active on my rest days

Goal 3: Track weight loss but remember that the scale is just a number. There is more to losing weight than how gravity responds to you.

Goal 4: Eat healthy -- do the 16:8 intermittent fasting plan

Goal 5: BE FEARLESS!

For those of you who are going to join me and check in on my journey, I'm excited to see where this goes. I hope you'll check in every now and then, and let me know how YOU are doing!

The ___ Time is a Charm!

"I already know what giving up feels like. I want to see what happens if I don't." -Neila Rey Do you know how many times I've set out to lose weight? So many more than I can count. Puberty was a ***ch to me. I gained a good amount of weight -- even while I was dancing 4-5x a week. My freshman year in high school I joined Weight Watchers with my mom. We did great! We went to the gym every morning at 6am. Work out, shower, eat breakfast and go to school/work. That habit kept me slim(mer) through high school. I was dancing throughout high school so I was fairly active. College -- yikes! That freshman 15, I mean 30, I mean 50 crept up on me! Unlimited dining hall option -- not good for someone who just snacks when they're bored. When I moved back home, I lost most of that by -- again -- working out with my mom in the mornings after my overnight shift. Lose. Gain. Lose. Gain. It's a cycle, right? But you see...like Neila Rey said...I know what givi...

Determination Equals Sweat

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." -Colin Powell So...I don't know that I would classify losing weight and getting fit as a "dream." It is most definitely a goal. And no goal is met through magic. I can attest to the fact that yes...it takes sweat (a lot of it), determination and hard work. #sweatyselfie "They"  say it takes 4 weeks for you to start seeing a difference after you start working out, 8 weeks for the people closest to you, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. I've been dedicated to working out at least 3, if not 4, times a week for the past month. And I am finally starting to see a difference. Not in just my physical appearance -- although I can see my face is slimmer. My face is the first place I can always tell that I am gaining or losing weight. But there are several other ways that I can feel a difference. 1. I have more energy. This is not ...
