Count Down to Perfection: Day 58 ... Taking a step back.

If you have been on this journey for as long as I have (3 years for those of you wondering) you forget where you came from. You forget how uncomfortable you were in your clothes. How getting out of a chair was a form of exercise alone. How your breathing could be heard from the next room. .....

Today I was doing laundry. I picked up a t-shirt that I got the other day (super cute with dragonflies) and put it on a hanger. Then it hit me. It was a size medium. I wear a size medium. Not only that but, I am now in a size 10 pants. I wear a size medium shirt and a size 10 pant.....

Three years ago I was wearing a size XXL shirt (preferably maternity) and wearing squeezing into a size 20/22 pant (because I probably should have been wearing a 24)

Losing 50 lbs was a huge deal... but it doesn't actually hit me until I take a step back and look at the difference between now and then.  Seeing the change in the before and after makes me so happy I took that first step. It shows that all those hours of blood, sweat and tears was worth it. That instead of being an unhappy, unhealthy mom of two... I am now a happy, healthy and sexy mom of two.

I may have come a long way already, but I am determined to lose that last 20 lbs so that I can finish this journey and start a new one.

Tomorrow will be another run (its getting easier to breathe), kicks, abs and shoulders.
