Trying to get my mojo back!

Options
So I think I'm coming down with a case of the winter blah's! Not saying no to foods I know I shouldn't eat, also not putting as much "ooumph" into my work outs that I normally do! So I'm posting this to remind myself, and perhaps give others some motivation on how far we've come, and that we can continue to kick butt till we reach our goals. I started this journey at 284, and am currently 177. I'd like to lose about 30 more to be totally content.... I've just gotta kick these blah's and get going!

Here's me around my starting period.... I am cringing at the sight of this: This is what I needed to see.

    You look awesome! Your before pics look about 27 years old, but you look 16 years old in the after pics, lol!

    Keep it up, and keep reminding yourself that you don't want to fall back into bad habits.
