The Dreaded B-E-F-O-R-E

 Pictured Below are all my stages of the Dreaded BEFORE, taken, approximately 1- 2 years ago. At the time of these pics, I was a size 12-14, sometimes a 10. There are many reasons to start this blog: 

1. Because I am constantly asked how am I slimming down and maintaining
2. To hold me accountable
3. To keep a record of this journey that only feels like it has just begun
4. To ask you to come with me.

Who am I?
I am not a personal trainer nor a nutritionist; just your average woman living a normal lifestyle, trying to work out the balance of life.  I work hard, I play hard. I live a more healthy lifestyle than most.  How do I do it?  That is the focus of this blog.

Now it's time for a year in a review so you can see how I have progressed so far.  I call these my Work In Progress Pics and they are divided into three Phases.  This week as we begin our journey together will constitute Phase Four.  The pics are works in progress because this is a lifestyle.  Ultimately I’m not sure where my journey will end but I think you’ll find it’s a fun ride.  Come join!!!

Now I am a steady 6.  Sometimes I can squeeze into a 4 but that’s usually in material that has a little give such as work out clothes.

As with many things that are a work in progress, you have Ups, Downs, Highs, Lows, Ebbs, Flows… You get the picture.  Here’s Phase One.
