Don't Mind the Weight

I have not written too much lately and I am very sorry. I need quiet in order to do so and that is a rare thing in this house. I have things I want to kick around with you but have not been able to slow down and clear my mind.

We are getting ready to leave for our vacation next week and I wanted to post an update on my weight loss before we go. I am sure that 20 days of vacation, 1 cruise, and my Italian family is not conducive to continued weight loss but I'm going to try my darnedest.


To date I have lost 23 pounds and bunches of inches. I can't wait to buy some new clothes when we get back to the states!


So here are my before and right now pics just so you can get an idea of the improvement. I am quite honestly SHOCKED! I still feel as fat as ever and get very frustrated with myself and the numbers on the scale. I would still like to loose about 17-22 more pounds.


I'm doing a very good job and trying to keep myself motivated. I know that I will be able to reach my goal as long as I stay focused. The most important thing for me to realize is that I am not, nor will I ever be perfect and I need to start looking at myself and my accomplishments realistically.


So, here you go...photo time...

  1. That is freakin' AMAZING! You look AWESOME! Wow. Seriously.

    In the fall I am team teaching the women's bible study at my church. The topic for the first week I teach is about living in process, not perfectionism. I will have to send you the podcast when it's up!
