20 Weeks and 50 Pounds Lighter

Taken April 2010

Taken December 2010

20 weeks in and 50 pounds down.  Can you see a difference?  I've felt the most difference with the loss of the last 15 or so pounds.  I'm not sure why that is.  But, I definitely feel more active.  More likely to just jump up for something.  I didn't realize how heavy I felt before.  Weight is so restrictive!

Recently, my daughter had a project that would require us to run around all over town.  I remembered then how a few months ago I would have never wanted to do that with her... how exhausting it sounded, because we'd be running all over downtown from place to place.  But this time, I volunteered to take her.  I thought it sounded like a fun thing she and I could do together.  And, it was.  It is amazing how it changes your perspective, and your life!  I always thought I was fairly active.  Love to exercise, love to travel.  Now, there is so much more I can do.

It's great to end the year with such a great accomplishment.
