31 Pounds for My 31st

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since my last blog update. My excuse is that life got in the way, but we all have that excuse. During that time of blog silence, my friend got married and my dress was still too big even after alterations (picture below).

I’ve still been working out with my new trainer and so far, I’ve about 5 pounds of fat and have continued to tone up/increase fitness.  Lately, I started thinking about my birthday last year (my 30^th) and couldn’t remember anytime too incredible other than being in Las Vegas and having someone ask if I was turning 21! I didn’t want this year to be a complete let down by comparison, so I decided to issue a challenge to myself...lose 31 pounds for my 31^st birthday. I’ve been working on it for a while, but the next 31 days I’m really going to focus on this challenge. I’m also going to try to be more diligent on my blog updates, so that you all can help keep me in check.  Thinking about a holiday or special event challenge yourself? Let me know. I’d love to hear from you J
