it's called progress

so I haven't been updating you all on my progress in the working out realm. It certainly doesn't mean that I have fallen off the bandwagon!! I am happy to report that I since November, I am down 30 pounds. The 12 Week Challenge was a HUGE success (ended on April 2nd) and the before and after photos are now up on the wall for the judges to assess. A little birdie ALSO told me that I am one of the finalists....EEEEEKKK!!

I would show you the before and after but I am seriously soooo embarrassed about the before....remember when I told you that I pushed my belly out, brought my head down to bring out the chins, slouched to enhance the saggy chest??? WELL IT WORKED--this makes for a great before and after BUT it makes you do a double take of the before!! It's one thing for a few hundred gym members to peek and then leave on the wall...but to have it permanently OUT there for all of cyberspace to see (not that I have a huge following..lol) but still, you can see it over and over...it gives me anxiety. In fact, it took me a few days to get over the anxiety of it being posted on the gym wall!! I didn't think it would be as big of a deal as it was..

anywhoo..had to let you know that I am still making progress. I'm not a toothpick...not ready for a bikini..not fitting into my size 10 pants waiting for in my closest...but I'm getting there...it's called progress...and I'm proud of myself! :) Wish me luck...the announcement is on Tuesday evening.
