Progress report: 3 months in and 20 lbs down!

Sparlingo

So, I have a long way left to go, but I thought I'd be brave and show what 3 months of tracking and working out can accomplish.

3 months ago I'd cry when looking in the mirror. I felt helpless, and I was *this* close to ordering some gimmicky crash diet just to finally shift the scale a little. I was 5 months postpartum and hadn't lost more than 2 lbs of the pregnancy weight that was lingering, despite going to the gym 3-5 times a week.

Tracking has changed all of that! I feel like I can accomplish anything if given enough time.

So, slowly but surely I'm getting somewhere! And part of believing in myself is not being embarrassed of myself - my body isn't perfect, but it is getting better every day.
