#Weightloss Milestone in my Little Red Dress and March #SquatChallenge

Last August, a month before I decided to embark on my #weightloss journey one of my best friends gave me a red dress as a gift. I looked at it then and just knew it wouldn't fit. She almost took it back in fact when she realised the problem but I kept saying to her, it will fit...it will.

Last Sunday when I sent her this picture:

She was as shocked as can be. As was I.

I just had not expected that I really would lose enough weight to fit into it even though I wanted to with all my heart.

But this just shows me that there is nothing that this body cannot do if only I can only deal with my mind.

It took 5 and a half months but I did it.

This month I further helped my weightloss by taking on a squat challenge and boy am I happy I did that.

You see I tried this dress on at the end of February and just did not like the way it sat even with a jacket on. But look at the difference after three weeks of adding squats to my daily exercise routine. and to think that this month I spent three weeks out of gym as well.

Last Sunday I could actually wear it without having to hide my protruding hips. WHOOP WHOOP! It was the best wedding anniversary present I could have given myself....I'm not sure if hubby felt the same *hidesface* hahaha. But I know he's enjoying the change.

Today is the last day of my squat challenge as seen below... 265 squats done today (I've always just added 10 more in case....of my wayward mouth).

It is hard, it is painful but I am celebrating the halfway mark of my weight loss goal with hips and a butt I am starting to like. 

I cannot recommend squats enough y'all!

Especially for the pear shaped like myself. 

Going forward: 

100 squats in the morning and 50 in the evening.

I'll also do the challenge ever 3 months.
