Before-After

So, I've had a few people ask me for before/after pictures of myself from training for the past 4 1/2 months. I wasn't going to post them, because it's almost embarassing to put up these old pictures of myself. I really can't believe I used to look like that. But it also feels great to look at all the changes I've made. So here are some pictures...

The before picture was taken in October up in Boston. This was right before I started losing weight. The after picture was taken today right before I went to the gym. :)



Here are some of my face.. The before picture is from Joni's wedding last summer. And the after picture is from my recent trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago.






I've lost a total of about 60 pounds in the last 5 months. I find myself looking in the mirror a lot more than I used to. I still get surprised when I see myself and find myself thinking, "is that really me?".. It's a good feeling. I feel so healthy and so great! And I'm damn proud of myself.

Only 9 more days before I'm running on the great wall of China! And I couldn't be more excited!!!
