Amber’s BodyBlog

Growing up I was a runner and always skinny with a extremely fast metabolism never gaining a pound. After Katrina hit I gained almost 30lbs without even blinking an eye bringing me up to almost 170lbs. Not sure if it was stress, hormones, or just age and years of bad eating catching up with me. A year later after much denial I finally realized I wasn’t happy with the weight. I immediately cut sugar out my diet and went on a high protein diet and began working out again. I lost 20lbs and now have a constant battle with my weight. I have become accustomed to healthier eating habits although living in New Orleans I am always tempted with great food & drinks. I gained about 5 of the 20lbs I lost back putting me at 155 which isn’t bad to me for being 5′9" but with being a full time student & having a full time job & having a husband that was deployed my working out consisted of going up my stairs to bed. I graduated in December (Thank God) and in January started working out again. Towards the end of February I began hitting the gym hard preparing for my husband to come home at the end of April. By the time my husband came home I had lost more cellulite than I thought I would have ever had and my body is tighter than it’s been in almost 3 years. I am trying to continue that lose the cellulite and tone my body really good. With my husband home we are now motivating each other. I found this website via my husband and decided to give it a try for more motivation. I am happy being the curvy girl I do not want to be stick thin I just want my curves to be toned and not have cellulite. The only problem now is continuing the war against chocolate!!
