a little NSV for me....

So, I joined MFP in April, about a couple of weeks after I finally started taking my weight loss seriously and had already lost about 5 pounds. I'm now down 19 pounds, and feeling great about it.

I took a progress photo of me at 15 lbs down and had to look really hard to see any difference, which is soo frustrating. But, I saw that I had lost one of my love handles, was a little slimmer in the legs, and my face was a little slimmer. So I was happy... but, still, wish I could see more difference!

Well today, I had a great ride on the bike. Did a 20.5 miles at 14 mph average, beating my previous 13.5. burned about 730 calories....and feeling great. I go to take a shower, and I'm looking in the mirror, TRYING to see where those 19 pounds came off, you know? I turn around to look at my back and HOLY COW! My Butt! It's smaller! I can actually see a difference in my butt! It's taking shape again!!!

Such a silly little thing to feel great about, but I've always had a bubble butt, even when I was really skinny, and I was totally fine with it. I actually liked having a butt! But as I gained weight, my cute bubble butt turned into a big old billboard!!

But today, I see progress! I see some shape! And my day has been totally made!!!!
