Yeah Lara! congrats on the 8 pound loss! That's amazing!
So, I really feel good about myself tonight. I went shopping in tulsa last week when i went to stay with our fellow rockstar, courtney and found some really cute clothes at maurices...they have a fat-girl (ahem...i mean "plus size", courtney) section now...and the clothes on the sale rack were super cheap. anyway, i was taking some pics of my new clothes and sending them to my hubby tonight when i was talking to him on the internet...(he's still in indonesia) and he was telling me how hot i looked. hehehehehehe that makes me giggle. anyway, i decided that i could use one of them as an after pic since i hadnt started doing the before/after part of my pictures. i dug up a pic that i took of myself about a year and a half ago...probably at my heaviest...to use as my before pic. I never realized how much difference 20 pounds makes! I am pumped because, honestly, I can be happy with the body I have in my new pics, even though I am no where close to my goal. Sure, I still have a lot to work on...but I think I look good the way I am right now..and thats whats going to keep me going.
wow! I hope this doesnt make me seem conceited...because I am anything BUT conceited...but for the first time in a long time...I kinda like myself (at least when i have cute clothes on
) go check out my new pics if you want.
Jennifer- Glad you're staying on with us. I think you should still participate...afterall, one of the main goals is to eat healthier and to stay active...it is safe to do both of those things even when you're pregnant!
my goals this week:
write down my foods
start exercising (shhhhh!!! don't yell at me!!! i still havent started)
eat at home every meal for the whole week! no eating out!
clean clean clean everyday!!
spend special alone time with each of the kids
