Mirror Images

Ever look at your self in the mirror and think to your self , " I look pretty good, considering..?" Well I had been doing that for a while, and then I saw pictures of my self from the days I asked my self that question, and thought I looked pretty good. Boy was I wrong, I saw those photos and thought EEWWW OMG!!!
So again I am finally doing something about it. I did really well last year losing weight, I lost about 10 lbs and was feeling pretty good about it, then I got lazy with watching what I ate, and exersizing went out the window, and before I knew it , I gained that 10 pounds back and about 5-10 more ( really who's counting? lol)
So Last Monday night, after a wonderful day out in Monterey with the family, I broke out the tape measure. I measured my bust, neck, arms, waist, hips, and thieghs. Sometimes my scales not always accurate so I wanted to have something else to measure my progress in. I took photos for motovation and comparison. (No you will not see the before photos) And the next morning I took my weight.
I started working out on the elliptical for 30 to 35 mins. I did that for 3 days last week. Watched what I ate, even recording it, keeping track of calories and what not.
And am pround to say that this week I am 4 pounds lighter. I hope to exercise more this week. Should be a little easier now that Annaleese is starting to feel better.
I just wanted to share my success.
