Picture this.....

Ok..motivate..motivate..motivate...
Yesterday...was my first workout this week..I let 2 days lapse..ok..better than the old days..but could be better. Nothing today. I WILL GO TOMORROW.

Also, having some willpower issues. I make the kids pancakes..I eat some..mac and cheese, eat some..bake cookies with them , eat some...I am still writing it down..just making bad choices.

Working on the water...

So tired...It's been a busy week and I haven't gone to bed before 12:30 in a while. It's catching up with me. And then, I eat for the wrong reasons....

So..let's refocus and remotivate:
1. challenges:

being in the A.P.R.I.L. mini challenge ROCKS b/c I might have eaten worse..but I thought about Manuela and Erin and our challenge..and skipped the bad choice!

being in the Tigerlily walking challenge ROCKS b/c I might have skipped working out..but I want to catch up and get to the next city.

being in the Healthy You challenge ROCKS b/c I met all you awesome people who support me and teach me something new everyday--and I want that 15 lb badge already!

2.Pictures:
Isn't this lovely..B took it last month at Disney..nice belly and chins...

Or this one..hello back and belly rolls...


and I call this the queen of the before pics!!! at b's harry potter party in 10/07

 

3. Visualization..Valerie was talking about visualization a few days ago.(great post!!!!!!!!!!!).I like the idea of picturing a smaller me. I played a little with some photos to help with that.I am going to ask my dad for help. He is the master at "the photoshop diet".

A little lengthening helps.....




Well, that is enough full disclosure for one day. I hope you are all feeling motivated and wonderful!!

Things to keep me motivated...

This is who my daughter told me I resemble...maybe if I was wearing the same outfit and did my hair up it would be uncanny...but not for much longer.





At the banquet, they suggested everyone wore shirts tucked in..I just couldn't do it.I don't tuck. I haven't tucked since the early 90's and that was just for about a week..before that ?? NEXT YEAR..I TUCK. I still won't like the shirt..but nothing I can do about that.



THE BEFORE PICS!

These were taken about 1 week into the HYC/Fitby40! Plan. I always thought I looked ok in this untill I looked at the pics. I'll call these BEFORE. I want to post new ones when I am halfway there.
