Pictures Help


Sometimes having picutres to look back on help you in this journey when you are at a slump & do not see a difference. I am so lucky to have Marcelle in my life. She has taken photos every year of me & it is nice to have something to look back on. It is prefect for when I feel stuck or have doubt that all the sweat & tears are helping. My first photos are from Dec. 2009, then July 2010 & July 2011.











I need these to push me on a day like this when I am ready to drop. My body is sore, I am tired but I feel I must continue strong until the 23rd. I go back to work that day & my exercise will drop considerably from where it is at now.

I am adding a body challenge class once a week starting in Sept. I have a couple more I can get to before I start work again then it is only night classes again except weekends. I know it is only once a week but I am hoping the toning will start to show on my body by Oct. I do not expect a lot of changes right away since it is only once a week.

Wow. You look spectacular! I'm just agog at the difference you have made from when you first began. Also, you're daughter is beautiful like you!

Yes, keep up the good work. You are sore sometimes but think also of how your attitude improves after a good work-out. I bet you feel more energetic after dropping 60 pounds and are also thinking more clearly.

Also, I love that new picture of you! Beautiful blue dress!
