READY TO START A NEW!

Life got in the way of my sexy figure! At least that’s my excuse. After nearly four years of wonderful marriage and one beautiful child, I’ve discovered that I’ve developed a private hatred for scales and mirrors alike. I’ve had enough of life getting in the way, and it’s time to get back into the best shape of my life! T-minus 60 pounds to go!
Let me start off by saying, I am blessed. Andrew is my loving husband, and we have a beautiful little one named Eden. I am able to stay at home with Eden while Andrew is able to work from home. We love to sit and watch movies or play video games while eating candy and pizza on our time off. Soda is something we drink daily. Taco Bell is a place we visit 2 or more times a week. My name is Christy Lowen, and I am ready to start a new.
As a mother, I set the path for my daughter. Whether it is a path to gluttony and laziness or one to a healthy and Godly lifestyle, it is my choice. As a wife, it’s my job to be and feel sexy for my husband!

WEEK 8: Lucha Libre!

I have to start off this post with something that made me laugh inside.  I was running yesterday and I put on a shirt that I thought would do fine.  No joke, 45 seconds into my run it had already ridden up past my bellybutton.  I had a mental image of what I looked like, and I immediately thought of Nacho Libre!  For those of you that have not seen that HILARIOUS movie, here is a picture of the famous NachooOOOOooooo!
Yep.  Just imagine that guy with blond, long hair and a pony-tail running, without the mask of course.  That was me.  I was wearing capries and everything! Soooo...50 seconds into my run I made a U-turn and changed my shirt into something that did not make me look like, well, Nacho.  

Okay, on that note.  It was a fantastic week. I will start off by saying I did have 2 1/2 bread sticks at Eden's dedication lunch, but other than that I was a true flubber blaster! I worked out pretty darn hard, even threw a 5K in the mix.  I am even dreaming of crazy workouts!  Last night I dreamed that I was in my brother's (Ryan's) jiu jistsu class, and he was making us do all sorts of crazy exercises Needless to say it was a nightmare.  I was wearing a gee with nothing under it so I was constantly making sure I was "decent," and they had to put me off to the side because there was no way in H E double hockey sticks that I would be able to catch up!  But back to reality...  My eating has been great (besides the bread sticks), and I have been drinking tons of water!  I watched another TLS webinar and learned that you can actually gain weight from artificial sweeteners, which stinks because I LOVE my sugar free candy! I also love Splenda.  Oh well, life goes on! 
There is some good news!  I can have grains again!  Not gluten, GRAINS.  In other words, buttery bread sticks are out of the question.  But I love that I can have a bit of brown rich or oatmeal once in a while!

 I took off 2 lbs this week.  Not my best as far as weight loss, but at least it wasn't from lack of trying.
Here is a picture of me and Eden rocking out our workout.  I have to admit,  I am a bit hotter than Nacho ;).

    Your definitely better looking than nacho! 2 pounds is great. I'm so proud of you for staying so constant! That is key. When are you going to train with us at Victory MMA?! All I ask is that you remain "decent" lol!
