I work out today, so I’m also getting my assessment for the challenge that I’m doing. That means I get my picture taken, measured and weighed. Getting my picture taken, the preference is to be in a sports bra or spandex, so that you’ll be able to see the difference in the after picture better.

Yes, that’s right, all 240 pounds of me, is going to get a picture snapped in a sports bra and shorts. I’ll need to frame that bad boy to give it to my husband for our anniversary. (note the sarcasm)

Luckily, because it’s Danielle and she’s used to seeing me in my full grunt and sweat workout glory, I won’t be totally mortified.  I remember the first time we took pictures back in September. I was so embarrassed, because we were just meeting, and here I was, all big and bloated (yes, even bigger) and I let someone take my picture, frontwards, from the back, and from the side. I’m curious to see the changes so far, but I’m more excited to see what the picture will look like in 12 more weeks.

Look, its’ only going to get better from here. There are days that I feel like nothing is happening. I don’t see it, feel it, or understand my body is changing. Some days I feel great. On the days that I am overwhelmed and feeling stuck, I look back at pictures taken a few months ago, and THAT’s when I realize my body is moving, it’s changing.

My scale numbers barely budged during the last 16 weeks, but my measurements have moved big time. We play games with ourselves, and those pictures will be something to show you the work you’ve put into it. Pictures don’t lie, and for that reason, I’ll bare it all in my sports bra and shorts, and let my stomach hang out. It is what it is, and I’m working to make it better. There’s nothing more real than being honest with yourself.
