Buff Brides-Week One

Okay, remember how I used to be "done?" A done girl? I had lost weight and all that stuff?

Well, I had been maintaining. And then some stuff happened. Like...my grandpa fell and sustained brain damage. And he was in the hospital for a couple of months. And then we took him back to our hometown. And then he passed away.

And 7 hours before he passed, my grandma ended up in the hospital. And she was diagnosed with a terminal brian tumor.

And this all just about killed me.

I try not to make excuses, but I just stopped caring.

I'm so ashamed that I've gained back some of what I had lost. And it's time to be that done girl again. I need to find that spark again.

Long story short, I puchased the book Buff Brides by Sue Fleming. I'm going to follow the six month program, because strength is important for my metabolism. I know that, and I need to utilize it. So here we go. I'll update as the week progresses.
