So this time last year, I felt like crap, wasn't working out anymore and kinda just gave up on myself. Then I saw photos that weren't so attractive and starting hiding from any/all photo opportunities (totally unlike me but I wasn't comfortable at all). January 1st 2011, my new year's resolution was just to be as healthy physically and mentally as I possibly could. I quit smoking cold turkey and signed up for a marathon. Am currently training for marathon #2 in ATL and am getting my confidence back. So here's my first before/after photos. And I have to say I'm quite proud of myself. Never thought I would get back here. (Crossing fingers pictures work)


Embarrassing.

    You can go to picnik.com and make a collage putting both pics in one pic. Then upload it to tinypic.com and size it down and post it together. I just did that.

    Thank you very much!

    The marathons/training are so addicting! They are so much fun! Good thing cuz I needed some motivation to get off the couch. Plus you see LOTS of other people that are in WAY BETTER shape and that's great motivation too!
