Back on the Wagon

December 29, 2009 – 10:18 am

Ugh – the not so great part about the holidays? I skipped exercising and eating right for 4 weeks and gained back 7.7 lbs. NOT cool but I expected to gain 8-10 lbs. I weighed in this morning for my official weight gain and boy was it depressing even though I knew it was coming. I’m trying to stay positive and know that I really enjoyed the holiday season and ate all the goodies that only come once a year. But damn is it difficult this morning…staying positive that is. So in trying to stay positive, I’ve put together a couple of before and after pics to try to boost my spirits.

I realized when looking back to find some good comparison photo that until this year, I did not have many photos of me at all. So this was the best I could do.

Exactly 1 year apart – taken Christmas day 2008 and 2009. Not a great comparison but the best I could do.

I was looking for a full length photo of me and I had to go back all the way to August to find one even close. So August of 2008 on the left and December 2009 on the right.

I only feel marginally better now.

The Year of Change

November 9, 2009 – 8:34 am

The Year of Change….is now. I haven’t yet posted here about this but many of you already know. In January of this year, Joe and I changed the way we ate and I started with an exercise routine. It’s been 10+ months and I’m happy to say we’re doing great!! At first, I kept it quiet just because I’ve dieted and failed so many times that I didn’t want to make a statement about it and then fail again. Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case this time!

When my in-laws came up this weekend, my mother-in-law brought along this photo from 1999. I couldn’t believe the difference!! Not only does Joe look like a baby in the photo, but I’m about 120 lbs heavier than I am now!! I decided to put together some comparison photos. Joe and I have been attending the Greenville Fire Dept Ball for the last 3 or 4 years and we’ve had our photo taken every year we go. I thought those would make some good comparisons. Take a look! Joe’s lost 50 lbs since last year and I’ve lost more than 60. Joe’s at his goal weight but I still have a bit more to lose. I hope by next year at this time I can show another comparison photo with ANOTHER 50 lbs down!!

Yeah, I’m A Little Slow

I suck at keeping up with this blog. But I am back to post the rest of the photos from the sneak peak on my last entry. Joe got some new photography gear a while back and we finally had the chance in August to set it all up and play around with it. We were SUPER excited about the results! Check them out!!

My favorite two of Natey!
