52 pounds in 44 Weeks....

I started my weight loss goal of losing 52 pounds in 52 weeks strong but lost motivation once I was able to have eggs and dairy again. I felt entitled to eat whatever I wanted and gained back the weight I lost. To help me refocus I found ELEVEN coaches. I was watching Akeelah and the Bee with my girls one night. Akeelah had 50 coaches to help her accomplish her goal so I thought I would follow her example. I asked eleven amazing people to help me and hold me accountable. I AM going to do it THIS TIME! No more, maybe next month or next year. This time I WILL accomplish my goal!

One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from Akeelah and the Bee. I actually heard this quote years before seeing the movie:)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
