This will be my last linkup of this year! It’s so refreshing to say that, because I
feel as though 2016 was not many people’s years, including mine. I’m extremely excited to start 2017 off on
the right foot. I know it sounds dumb to
some people because they think it’s all about how you react to a situation and
you can’t blame the year 2016 bla bla bla.
Yes, you are correct however some people (like myself) are superstitious
enough to think that once the new year hits I can just start over. It’s a new year.

I mean, there were a lot of good things that happened this
year too and this will be the first year that one of my resolutions DOES NOT
involve losing weight or living a healthier life! I’m so proud that I’ve been able to lose 41
lbs (and counting). I didn’t feel guilty
when I ate holiday food and stuffed my face because I knew that I would be
right back at the next day with my meal prepping, my shakes, and workouts. I physically feel a lot better and I’m less tired
so I will definitely be sticking with this plus I’m a coach now so I have other
people counting on me to pave the way and help them reach their own goals. I also moved out of my parent’s house for the
second time haha, I adopted another puppy (that’s actually more like trex than
an almost 2 year old), even though I was rear ended at least I can say I got a
new car (so another new beginning), and so many other things.

Oh yay! I made top 3! Thanks for making my morning better! 🙂 You look so naturally thin that I can't believe you were ever 40 lbs heavier. Good for you! Wow, that's a big loss and super impressive! I overindulged for the holidays and need to get back on track now too. Thanks again for the feature!
