The picture on the left in blue is June 2013, the picture on the right is October 12th. They are almost exactly 4 months apart. They are not from the same angle I apologize but it was the best I could do right now.
I have no more weight loss to report just yet, I'm working on that, but I can say I feel a tremendous difference!! I've been working out hard more than not lately. I can feel a difference in my clothing and I'm enjoying pulling out clothes that haven't fit or been flattering. Small victory... my BROTHER noticed. And his wife asked me how (I make that up as I go). Happy dance!!!! Yes I meant literally.. happy dance!

I have worked out hard pushing myself and feeling like I was gonna die several times. But guess what... I didn't! Then I knew I could do it and I wanted to push myself even more.
Yesterday was a rough day. You see many times I feel alone (even though I'm obviously not) and that's a struggle for me. I watch all these people and it seems like so many good things are happening to everyone except me. Yesterday I had a slap in the face from a good friend and I was heart broken. I share this not because I want sympathy for my at times pathetic life but because I want to share my success that I drew out of it. I'm very blessed I know this. I have tons of amazing people in my life and I let the actions of pretty much one person pull all that away from me!! BUT.... the win? I didn't let it throw me into food for comfort, in fact I didn't even have that desire! This my friends is an accomplishment. A short time ago this kind of day would have me reaching for chocolate and pop and those comforts didn't even cross my mind!!
Its fall time and lots of great things are coming about but I will not be swayed.. at least not that much!! ;)
