WINNER!!!

All the hard work has paid off!  I am the winner of the Golds Gym Kennewick, Age 30-39 women!!!!! Woooo-hooo!!
I was a little worried because after I took the pictures and measurements I went off the diet a little and splurged.  I didn't go crazy and I think I only gained about 3 lbs, but after 1 1/2 weeks I got a call that I had to come in again and re-take the pictures because someone had stolen the camera that had all the after pics on it.  "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" was my response.  I took 2 days, dieted hard, worked out harder, tanned, and re-took the pictures.  My thought was to say "to heck with it", but I needed to do what I could to finish what I started.  I'm glad I did! 
Now that the results are in and the challenge is over, do I stop all my good progress and new habits.  NO!  I am continuing working out hard and because I have been doing boot camp, I have incorporated boot camp style workouts into my week.  I am also back on a clean diet, not always as strict, but I am making better choices and keeping my portions in check.
So, I have to say thanks to my husband for all the help and support and thanks to Ashley Eliason at Golds for training me and for pushing me in our sessions and in Boot camp!  She is an awesome trainer!! 
I will keep everyone updated so you can all see if I'm staying on the plan and to see my progress!  I still have 30 pounds I want to lose, but this 1st 20 lbs has got me started and helped me to make a change!  I will only get better!
