I always feel better when I eat healthy. Dinner tonight was a homemade salad with a chicken breast in a balsamic reduction! #yummy #healthyfood #bestversionofmyself #operationsexybride

Hot and sweaty! An hour of #yoga 30 min with personal trainer and 40 min of #Zumba. I'm smiling because I did it! #accomplished #bestversionofmyself #nofilter #operationsexybride #sweatingissexy

This is my lazy don't want to go to the personal trainer and Zumba face....but I must. #bestversionofmyself #motivation #sacrifice

A different angle of my beautiful #engagement ring! The hearts on each side are in a rose gold and the rest is in white gold. That man of mine has excellent taste lol. #happy #inlove #futuremrslawson #truelove #bling

I love that euphoric feeling after an intense #cardio #workout The top pic is from the treadmill. I ran 1.60 miles and walked the rest on a steep incline. The bottom is from intervals on the elliptical. And now I'm chilling in the sauna and enjoying my accomplishment! #cardioismydrug #bestversionofmyself #motivation #sweatingissexy #weddingfit

Locked out of my parents house in the blazing direct sun...#survival instincts kick in and I made some sort of heat reflective turban lol. #survivalmode #preparedandslightlycrazy

Healthy dinner: grilled chicken, Brussel sprouts, baked sweet potato and some brown rice. #bestversionofmyself #dinner #healthy

My mom and Stewart said I should post this before and after pic. The first photo is from around 2009/2010. The second is from this summer 2013. As much as I loathe the first photo it's a great reminder of how far I have come. Sometimes, even 61+ pounds thinner, I forget or don't feel like I'm being successful. I just have to remember every workout counts and in the end it all pays off. #beforeandafter #workout #fitness #progress #Framatic @instafemmefitness @fitgirls_inspire @fitnesspageforall @ashleehendry_fitness @burglehard

Workout #2 ran a faster mile than usual. Kept it between 6.0-7.5 miles per hour. Then to finish my workout I did 65 pound crunches (3 sets of 10) and then squats with 30 pounds. Ended my day at the gym with chill time in the #sauna #gymtime #goodworkout #sweatingissexy #bestversionofmyself

Healthy protein: flank steak stuffed with spinach, bleu cheese, red peppers and used oats instead of breadcrumbs. #aladyknowshowtotreatherman #dinnerisserved #cooking #yummy

Almost blacked out in the shower afterward but I'm back in the swing of things! 15-30 pounds to go! #bestversionofmyself #watchoutworld #motivated

FYI: When trying to pick a gym advertising pizza night doesn't make me want to join. I mean I love pizza but I need it separate from my gym life. #counterproductive #decisions #bestversionofmyself

It's amazing what a year can do. I am in such a better place physically and mentally and so close to my final weight loss goal! 20 more pounds to go! #icandoit #bestversionofmyself #motivated #transformationtuesday #instacollage

9 months ago today Stewart and I began our relationship. I never knew what true love or a healthy relationship was until I met him. Each day I am thankful that we are in each others lives. We are there for each other, laugh together and enjoy our mutual weirdness. I love you Stewart! Happy anniversary! @burglehard #happy #truelove #thankful #blessed

Tonight's post-show workout. Focus: squats and arms. 70 squats with 30 pound weights, 2 arm circuits with heavier weights, pull downs and chin ups. #beastmode #summersexy #watchoutworld #bestversionofmyself #healthy #realwomenlift

Ran 1.25 miles tonight with a 10 min mile! Jogged/walked .75 miles and did 50 squats with 30 pound weights. Feeling good and loving my new workout top! #running #bestversionofmyself #beastmode
