I'm back!!! And so ready to shed what this pandemic has left on me mentally, physically and emotionally!! It was a super rough year for us all! I am so sorry to those who have lost loved ones, had to battle for their lives, had to be out of work and may possibly still be out of work, for those that felt alone and to those that had to work extra hard on the front lines! I feel your pain and I thank you for pushing through what will be one of the hardest years we will all ever ...have to face! Ok So enough beating around the bush! Let's get to the point of this post! After losing 100lbs in 2018, discovering my love of working out at the gym in 2019 and well I was finally in total control of my body. I was at my ideal weight ( 180 lbs, size 8/10 ) I was happy, healthy and in the best shape! I ate clean and I learned to enjoy working out and I actually continued working out over the last year ( which is why thanks to Ben @mtzathleticclub I still remained toned & gained a solid booty) However after being forced to not work in March of 2020 ( I am a hairstylist) I started emotionally eating and drinking. I also ended up having 3 miscarriages in 9 months I gained 10 -15 with each Miscarriage. I watched the scale go up and up and then last month I decided enough is enough!!! I decided to reach out to my friend @healthcoachdfresh for some help and guidance. I took the plunge and made the decision to restart this Journey of mine! I am thrilled to say that I am on track to not only lose the weight but keep it off for good this time! I am so excited to start sharing what I have been up to this last few weeks! I decided it was finally time to come clean share this photo which was a major eye opener for me, I had not realized how much I had gained and well as hard as it is to share I want to always keep my page real, open & honest always! #weightlossjourney #lifelongjourney #wlstories #nevergiveup #start #restart #selfcare #selflove #askbelievereceive #optaviajourney #optavia #fatburner #fertilityjourney #infertilitywarrior #covidweightgainisreal #goodbyechubbette #keepitreal #lifeaftermiscarriage #loveandloss @wlstories See more

I'm back and ready to face all my fears in 2021! I can't believe I have been silent for so long. I also can't believe this is my first face to face Friday post in 2021! I am ready to share it all with you again and it's time to shed all my Covid weight! I was so shameful for gaining 30lbs in a year! But I need to stop getting so upset and start pushing for my health again! I cleared my head, my heart and I am ready to bring it all on in 2021! I feel even more inspired after m...y 9 am bootcamp sesh @mtzathleticclub and after running into my friend @healthcoachdfresh I am ready to go all in and get healthy again!!! No more excuses! I can do this! I am strong, I am determined and I am ready!!! Let's do this !!!! #bodypositivity #healthylifestyle #wlstories #weightlossjourney #imback #readysetgo #healthyliving #igotthis #timetoshed #byebyecovidweight #40andfabulous #facetofacefriday #faceyourfears #fertilityjourney See more

Oh My Dad - Chad Hasegawa . . . The first pic is a portrait painted by my talnted brother @chadhasegawa of our Dad, Fred Hasegawa who lived his life to the fullest while on earth and continues to live in our Hearts each and everyday! It was 20 years ago today that we lost him! Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him! A huge part of my heart broke the day I lost the first man I ever loved! My Daddy was truly everything to me I just can’t believe that I have now ...spent half my life with out him! However i know that he is still with us! I feel his presence most when our small little family gets together! He’s is there when we laugh, when we cry, when we celebrate the big or small moments he is there! He left this world when he was only 48! I often wonder would he still be alive if he ate better , exercised, didn’t keep his stress bottled up?! We will never know! But I am reminded today as I sit here realizing that I gave up on myself over the year! This Covid-coaster has totally effected me! But thank you dad for reminding me to live! To push myself to get Healthy again so I can not only look better, feel better and to get healthy so that we can finally have a baby! No more feeling sorry for myself, no more excuses!!! I need to make a comeback so that I can hold myself accountable so that I can I can live a long healthy life! So I can be here in person to be apart of all the precious moments for our family! I am coming back, I will commit to my journey and I will also inspire my hubby to Join! Watch us lose weight together ( he is sleeping so he has no idea what I have started for him) but team work always makes the dream work! Cheers to happy healthy 2021!! On this day next year we will have a baby!!! I can feel it! Thank you Dad for inspiring me always!! And thank you all for always supporting me, inspiring me and for holding me accountable! We got this!!! #ohmydad #chadhasegawa #mydadmyhero #mydaddymyangel #20years #sinceyouvebeengone #missyou #inspiration #live #love #laugh #weightlossjourney See more

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. - Martin Luther King Jr . . . 3 years ago I made the decision to commit to myself, commit to my health and commit to a program that ultimately not only changed my life but saved my life! Yes I lost 100 lbs through Elite Health Hawaii’s HCG program in 11 months! Yes I may have gained some weight in 2020 do to Covid and 2 miscarriages ( thi...s is why I stopped posting) 2020 was a hard year! But 2020 made me stronger! Mentally & Physically! It was one of the most challenging years of my life but I am proud to say that no matter what challenge 2020 brought to my plate I never gave up on myself, my goals, my family, my friends, my career or trying to conceive!! At the end of the day those challenges taught me to keep moving forward!!! I may have stopped posting as much because I started to live in the moment rather than documenting everything to be present with family & friends spending more time focusing on conversations and precious moments that we will never get back! Covid definitely taught me to prioritize on what truly matters the most! However I realize after reflecting on the last 3 years of my beautiful journey one of the things that helped keep me most accountable was posting! The community on IG has helped me so much! I could not have shed as much and gained more strength with out the love and support from you all so thank you for your support, love and encouragement that helped me through each step of my journey! I look forward to what 2021 brings! Cheers to a healthy, happy, safe year! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #infertility #fitaversary #keepgoing #onward #keepmovingforward #yougotthis #nevergiveup #hcgdiet #elitehealthhawaii @scottsandersonmd @goodbyechubbette @wlstories See more

Do you ever wish that you could time travel back to a certain moment , even if it were just for a day? If I had to choose I would pick Thanksgiving, 1996! This was the Thanksgiving my family and I spent in NYC! Til this day it will remain my favorite Thanksgiving to date! Because we spent that day together just the 4 of us ( Mom, Dad, Chad & I ) Spending quality time in our favorite city! This also happens to be my favorite pic of my Daddy and I. Today I share this special mo...ment with you all again to honor my Daddy, my hero on what would have been his 68th Birthday! Cheers to the Man that loved life and lived his life to the fullest ! Cheers to the man who lit up all rooms he walked into, Cheers to the man that lived to irritate and love all his favorite people! Oh how I wish you were here to irritate me today Daddy! I love you so much and hope that you are celebrating today with. Granny, Papa, Uncle Jason, Jourdan and the rest of the amazing angels up there! #happybirthday #daddysgirlforlife #hbd #mydaddymyangel #loveyou #missyou #tillwemeetagain See more
