Noticeable

This week, I have had more compliments on the way that I look than I have had in years. I have had multiple people tell me that I look like I have lost a lot of weight. I am sooooo excited! It took just about 20 lbs., but people are finally starting to notice!!

Other things I have noticed since eating better and working out? My face is clearer. I never really had acne, but the last year has been horrible. I was shocked that I was all of a sudden breaking out when I am 30 years old. Now, I truly believe it had to do with my eating habits and workout habits. Glad to see an end to that!

Also, today I found a picture of me from the Fall baseball season on the team's website. I was SHOCKED at the fat lady sitting on the bleachers cheering on my son. What a wakeup call! I am going to paste this picture of me somewhere where I can see it often and remind me of what happens if I eat junk. The good news is that I am now 20 lbs. lighter, but I am still shocked and outraged when I see pictures of me from the fall. It is majorly motivating for me. That being said, I am going to get off my computer and go do some crunches... and then maybe some arm workouts. If my muscles weren't so fatigued from the 5k I ran yesterday, I would go for a run. However, I think my body would me much better served if I wait until tomorrow.

Here is my official "before" picture that I found today, taken in October, 2011:

This is a picture of me in March of this year:

And, here is a picture of me and my kiddos at the zoo just a couple of weeks ago.

I've still got a ways to go, but the change is definitely noticeable.
