52 Pounds Down Pictures From Last Year I Want Do Overs!

I met John Barrowman last year at fandomfest in KY. I love the Picture that was taken. It means a lot to me. Even though I fell at his feet. Now I am down 52 pounds and I WANT A DO OVER! Comparing that picture to the picture I had BCC take on Friday…

Pictures That Speak For Themselves

This is just a short post. Yesterday we went for a walk, I do not often let my BCC take pictures of me below the shoulders but I wanted to see what the camera saw, since I am a really lousy judge of myself. I hope some of you will take the time to tell…

Goals and Progress

Too often we, as human beings, want perfection, and we want it NOW! This is a hard habit to break. To think that after week three that I can be at a level working out that I was 10 years ago is, ridiculously unrealistic. The reality is I have a long way to go, and…
