I know I don't come around as much as I did before but thought I'd stop by on New Year's Eve to share my reflections and never before seen fatty pics...haha!
March of 2004:
July of 2004. When I saw this picture I was deeply disturbed and knew I HAD to do something about it. I made a decision to lose weight one way or another!
Had gastric bypass in Dec 2004 :eek3: Have NO regrets about this decision
June of 2008. Finally started working out and ended up like this:
Dec '07-Dec '08
So...I have very mixed feelings on this! Really happy overall with my weight loss and my tummy tuck. Extremely blessed with great doctors and now really want to grow muscles. I made AWESOME progress on the Omega project (April-June)but seem to have lost a lot of muscle after my surgery since I quit working his program. Much love to him though for teaching me so much. Also, in looking at the progress I've made in a year besides the tummy, it's less than transformational right now. So, in 2009 I'll be working closely with a trainer again to attain my goals of fat loss and muscle growth. VERY excited to be doing this instead of always second guessing myself and others. I'll just let her boss me around for a couple months and am stoked to see what kind of progress we can make together.
Yes, dreams really do come true and I'm so excited to see what 2009 holds.
