Photo Update - Vol. 2

Okay. I have to admit it. I can see and feel a difference in my size, outlook, and general health. Though nothing happens in the time I want it to, and even with the setback of a foot surgery in December, there are a lot of positives to report and new fun pictures [photos follow below] . I'm so excited for the day I can start working out without worrying about the impact on my foot - then the big changes will be seen.

On one additional note, I have realized that this blog has recently become focused on reporting my weight loss efforts and thoughts surrounding this journey. While weight loss is currently a major part of my life, my goal moving forward is to attempt balance and continue with other lessons and observations that inspired me to start this new blog in the first place. I never stop learning from experiences and people in my life, and look forward to sharing some of the highlights here. The best is yet to come!


And now for the most recent photo update (with the older ones thrown in - for fun).

The pear is shrinking, and the smile is growing! (And yes, I love my hair and think it is awesome when short.) I'm really looking forward to the next shot in 2-3 months. The changes are more and more obvious as I get smaller, and this is all becoming so satisfying!
