Weight Loss Update ***

Here I am... Well, this was taken the first part of June.

Looking at those pictures of my wedding in my last post…I can remember feeling so “fat”. Why did I ever do that to myself? I look at them now and think, wow, I looked pretty dang good!

It’s no secret that I’ve never been a skinny girl. After High School I finally took control of my lifestyle and heredity and lost a bunch of weight. It took a lot of HARD work, and I ran 5 miles every day. Even during my “marathon training” days I still weighted 150 lbs! I kept the weight off until, hormones, and pregnancy set in…since then, well, I haven’t been so happy with myself. I have spent many years working towards weight loss, and I have had a new awakening!

Well, as of today, I’m only 14 pounds away from my goal weight!! I decided that I needed to post a weight loss update. This picture isn’t very good, but it’s something. It was taken when Emily & I went to the Park City Condo for a night to get away. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and thought…I wonder what I look like…not looking at myself. Emily was so nice to me…giving me compliments and telling me how good I looked. I still think she looks skinnier than ever, even at 9 months pregnant!

Anyhow, I want to get some new family pictures taken so I will post them after we get them taken. I fell terrific! I have so much more energy than before, and I love shopping…and fitting into a size 8-10! I still have a sweet tooth that hasn’t gone away, but I have so much greater appreciation for what I eat, how I exercise, and the things that my body is able to do. I feel very blessed! For now, I'll just keep working!

Thanks Em, for being my friend through "thick & thin"! And don't kill me for posting this prego picture! You look great!!!
