Photo update

In the comments of my last post someone suggested I post some updated photos so here they are... the ones on the top were taken the day I started this blog and the photos on the bottom are of me today. Do you see a difference? I am never sure I do. My mom has commented that I look really different and one day I saw my sister at the Y and she wasn't sure it was me so I know I look different but I don't really see it too much.

Today I cleaned out my clothes everything that is bigger than a size 18 went into one pile and anything smaller went into a different pile. I ended up with two laundry baskets and a garbage bag full of clothes I never want to wear again. In the past I would have just piled then in my closet but now I am thinking maybe I should just give them away... it could be cathartic. What do you think?

A hard workout

I think Jillian Michaels hates fat people and wants them to suffer. If you haven't already guessed I started the Thirty Day Shred DVD. Wow... level 1 kicked my arse and I can no longer sit in my chair without my legs protesting in pain. I think it is going to take longer than 30 days to get through all three levels. I have three thoughts on this DVD:
First, I can't do a single push-up... nope not even the easy kind. It takes the entire minute for me to struggle through one.
Second, I really need a better sport bra if I am going to be bouncing around that much... I did the last half of the jumping jacks while holding my boobs flat.
Third, it's hard but I am going to continue on anyway. Because like it says in one of my favorite movies, "If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.”

Also, I changed my profile photo today... I really like it I can tell that my face is getting slimmer.
