At the end of last year we had our annual photo shoot that turned out great! Michelle did an amazing job!! The only thing that bugged me when I looked at all the pictures was how horribly fat I had gotten! I was aware of it of course but for some reason looking at those pictures made me really realize it. I decided it was time to take action! I talked to Geoff and he said he'd let me do whatever I needed to make me happy. So... since the holidays were right around the corner I decided I'd make it my New Year's resolution and start in January.
My friend Jana had been doing weight watchers and looked fabulous :) so I decided to do that with her. When January came I signed up and have actually stuck to it! Jana and Geoff have encouraged me the whole way and been such a huge support. Jana and I started walking when I was still in Vegas and that was great! I actually enjoyed it and it made me feel great!! I was worried that moving to Cali would make it harder to stick to it but Geoff has been great going walking with me and keeping up the encouragement. I just upped my walk to 3 miles because I wanted to add some challenge (2 freeway overpass hills). SInce it's new Geoff stays home with the kids and I bring along my music as company but once I get used to it I'll start bringing the stroller along for some extra challenge (it makes a big difference).
So... 6 months later I have lost 30 pounds, am down almost 3 sizes and am feeling great!! I have a LONG way to go but I'm so excited and proud to say that I'm doing it!! I am so much healthier and already feel like a whole new person. I'm so grateful for my fabulous hubby, family and friends who've been such a huge support! Thanks!!
I thought I'd post a before picture and a now picture. :) This is a family picture from last October I think.
