Pictures

It's amazing how much your face can change with weight loss.  I noticed each year as I became heavier and heavier that I was almost unrecognizable to myself in pictures.  My eyes were so puffy.  I am so much happier with my appearance now.  Here are a few before and afters.  The after picture is a recent one of my sister and I.



Another Monday

Trying to settle into a Monday after a nice weekend.  It's sunny and beautiful here today - expected to be almost 70 degrees.  Makes me want to have a suntan!! 

My hubby and I had a nice weekend away without the kiddos.  We went to Reno to see Diamond Rio in concert, play some slot machines, drink, and eat.  We had a great time. 

I nibbled my way through the weekend.  I still suffer from missing food.  I truly loved to eat....enjoyed what I picked to eat.  I would plan what I was going to eat next while eating.  I didn't waste a single morsel of my meal!  I guess that's what got me into the trouble I was in.  It's still tough when I get together with family or go on trips.  So much of our lives are built around the meal! 

I did good.  I have been a bit tight lately so I really have to make good food choices or I suffer for it.  I stuck to salads and soups to be safe.  Even though I had my share of alcholic beverages.....I still did just fine.  This morning I weighed in at 147.

Happy Monday everyone

I don't excercise

Digging back through the blogs that I have missed for months and months.....I notice a very big trend - you guys excercise and I am jealous of it.

I have managed to kick 89 pounds over the last 14 months with the help of my band.  Luckily my skin has been kind to me and has followed right along.  I do have some terrible stretch marks on my belly but they have always been there from 3 pregnancies of 60+ pounds of weight gain.  My boobs are so tiny now and my arms and legs are flabby - not terribly bad, but I know they could look much better.

I've been walking a little bit because we have had a very mild winter this year.  Not enough to make a difference, but enough to let me know that I should be doing it every day.  I have been considering doing the P.9.0.X program.  I think that it would really firm everything up. 

Has anyone tried P.9.0.X?
