It’s official…I’ve been gearing up for a couple of weeks now (weaning myslef off the fatty food and booze while doing a few light workouts), but now I’m in full weight loss mode! I’ve got 5 months and 40-50 pounds to lose…it’s going to take extreme dedication and motivation, both of which have been inconsistent in the past, but I really believe that the upcoming wedding will serve it’s purpose, and carry me through till the end.
In order to facilitate this lifestyle change, I’ve enlisted in some professional help….quite frankly, I don’t have the financial where-with-all to pay a personal trainer (who does these days), but I’ve found a more economic option….group bootcamp! I’m going to be working out in a group setting with Ines of Napa Fit www.napafit.com two days a week, and then working out on my own the rest of the time. I think two days a week is the perfect amount because I don’t want someone holding my hand through the whole process….this way I’ll learn to motivate myself!
So when I signed up, Ines asked me for a “before” photo…obviously the most horrifying thing in the world right now is having my picture taken, so there wasn’t much to choose from. Here’s a few I submitted….
unfortunately the most recent picture...
a little older...but equally as bad
As you can see there are zero full body shots….wonder why that is?! So I’m looking at all these puffy faced photos, and it dawned on me….I really need to embrace and almost laugh at myself in this state…so this is the picture she went with….
oh yes mid-bite...giant sausage in hand...jacket button about to fly off...wearing the same scarf as the pic above...weird.
Now this pic was taken a while ago (notice the hair length); however, I was sitting at the same weight I am now showing two things….one, nothing’s changed….and two, that you have to laugh at yourself through this process…it’s the only thing that will make it bearable, and allow you to appreciate your progress in the end! check it out… http://www.bikinibootcampnapa.com/bootcamp_girls.html
