Healthy living is what I strive for each and everyday with my family. As you know, I had a huge weight loss and have managed to keep most of it off. I have gained back about 12 – 15 pounds of original weight loss, so to reach my ultimate goal, I would like to lose 40 pounds totally.
I recently applied to the Shaklee Blog Challenge and much to my surprise was one of the 50 bloggers selected.
I am excited to start on this new healthy weight loss journey. It will consist of shakes, meal replacement bars and vitamins. Also, I will continue to eat fresh fruits and vegetables that I love so much. We recently went HFCS free in our household, so we will not have those foods in the house either. It is going to be a super fun journey and one I am absolutely thrilled to begin.
I will be combining my 5K training with my healthy eating journey as well. I want to be healthy but also very toned. My girls look up to me as their role model, and I want to be a healthy role model. I am headed to jaw surgery if all goes well within 9 months, and I really need to be at a good weight and be very healthy in order to have a good recovery. More to come about that soon here on the blog.
There will be bi-monthly updates with pictures so you all can see how well my progress is going. Let’s get started with my beginning photos. (Am I really going to post these? – YES!)
Hope you will show your support and cheer me along on this wonderful journey. I hope I can be an inspiration to many and let you all know… YOU can do this as well!
Let the journey begin….

You can do this Jen. I am right here Cheering you on!
Can’t wait to watch you on your journey! <3
I hate to tell you, but if you are going to have TMJ surgery, I woulln’t lose weight! I dropped so much weight when I had mine that I weighed 86 pounds at my smallest. I couldn’t eat and only had Ensure drinks for at least a few weeks after surgery.
But, good luck! I can’t wait to see how we all stack up to this journey 🙂
Thanks Kelli! I actually am not having TMJ surgery. It is a different jaw surgery where I do not have to have my jaw wired shut. I will still be able to eat soft foods, so that is the good news. My surgeon actually recommended getting to a healthy weight before surgery.
It will be fun doing the journey together with all the #Cinchspiration teammates.
OH then yay! 🙂 Let’s fight the fat, chick! Hey, BTW you are not the only one who thinks they are bigger than the other players!! You are not, BTW! You haven’t seen my pics because I am not confident enough to post them yet. 🙂
Yay, go Team #Cinchspiration! I can’t wait to see your progress.
Big hugs girlie! I am so glad you’re part of this team, you know I love you and support you. We can do this together!

Woot Woot! You got this and I will help keep you motivated for the 5k as we train! 🙂

So excited to be on the #cinchspiration journey with you. I’m still working up the courage to do my before pics, but will get it done this weekend no matter what!
