About Me

Bountiful, Utah
We are the Ta'atiti family. I started this blog back in 2008. I kinda forgot about it for a long time and just recently decided to pick it up again. My main motivations behind this blog is to document my weight loss journey through the Take Shape For Life program as well as document significant events for my kids - Sina and Miracle. Hopefully they will find value in these posts and maybe even learn from some of my life lessons.

Health Challenge Day 1 of Week 3

I've been extra good this month with the January healthy challenge. It has pushed me to meet little milestones that seemed so unattainable just 3 months ago. In my week 2 weigh in this morning I weighed in at 308.8 for a total of 60 lbs lost since 10/24. I am 9 lbs away from my first major milestone of being under 300. I can't believe I'm so close, but it feels so good! I also can't believe I'm more than half way to losing 100 lbs. This is definitely something I could only imagine this time last year, but I am doing it and I'm so happy with the results.

One of the things I really wanted when I first started this challenge last October was to get a good boost so that I could start working out again without too many complications. But I've gotten so much more out of this program. Not only did I get the boost I needed, but I got the lifelong habits of health that will be with me for the rest of my life and beyond. I never thought this could be me.

Week 2's shred slowed down a lot. By yesterday morning I was disappointed that I had only gotten down to 310 since last weigh in. I decided to hit it hard at the gym yesterday with some extra, healthy calories and was able to push through down to 308.8. I am listening to my body and adjusting where I need to in order to increase metabolism and fat burn.
