Today I decided to take a 3 week update photo and I was in shock to see how much of a difference there was with my body within 3 Weeks . I really don’t like these pictures because I hate the way I look . I am thankful for these pictures even though I hate them it shows me how hard I’ve been working . If you want something really bad you have to work hard for it . Lord knows how hard I’ve been working hard in the kitchen and at my workout sessions with my trainer . There are some days where I want to just text my trainer and tell her I don’t want to workout today but I keep pushing . I remind myself of my goal and why I want to get there . After having two children I just want my body back . I will work as hard as I can to get it back . I’m thankful for my supportive husband and my trainer that pushes me . If you have a goal push through don’t give up .
