Its been a while since my last update, we have been pretty busy! While on vacation I didn't really "work out" but we walked a lot and went swimming so I did get some exercise in. I was worried once I got home because we ate out most of the time we were gone and I snacked a lot at night too, but once I came home I realized I had only gained a 1/2 pound since being gone. However, the saturday and sunday after we returned home I still ate like crap, didn't work out and was lazy! Over those two days I gained another pound and 1/2. But since monday I have been hitting cardio hard and strength training and have gotten back down to 142 which is almost to where I was before we left for Corpus. I still have 3 measly pounds left to lose to hit my big goal, and I am hoping that they come off quickly. Once I hit that goal I have decided to lose another 9 lbs which will put me at 130 lbs, and at my ideal BMI for my height.
I have been asked over and over to post my before and after, and since I am so close to that goal I have contemplated on doing it but have decided that I really want to wait until I reach my goal to post the real before's and after's. BUT! I have one little before and after to show you....This was me 10 months ago at Charleigh's 4th birthday.....
......And this is me now, I honestly did not see this person when I look in the mirror until I saw this picture. I still saw the "other" girl and until Chris took this picture on our Last day of vacation, I hadn't realized how much I have lost and how skinny I really am. I was shocked! I am very proud of how far I have come, my confidence has gone through the roof and I feel good. I will say that I still have imperfections, such as stretch marks all across my stomach from bringing two beautiful girls into the world, and I hate them but I will not hide them! I have embraced them and proudly wear my bikini like its nobody's business! I still want to tone my arms, stomach and booty! But if this is how I would have to be I am damn proud to be it!
