I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. It's never been easy for me and was often frustrating to me. Starting in February I finally cracked down and have been trying to be really good and watch what I eat and work out at least 3 times every week. It's definitely paying off! To date, I've lost 35lbs, 6 inches off my waist and 3 pant sizes. I still have another 25lbs to my goal but having come this far and feeling the difference is such a good motivator!
I was trying to find a picture from January or February so I could show the difference between then and now but I have no pictures of myself. So I went back to December to one of the few pictures I have of myself. As you can see I'm hiding behind Tristan because I was so self-concious... but not anymore! :)
I feel so much better and much more confident, clothes fit me and look good. I still have some work to do but I'm happy with my results so far. :)
Chad was trying to entertain Tristan last night while I was cleaning up from dinner so he put the dishtowel around his neck like a cape and kept "flying" around the kitchen. He'd say swoosh and flip the cape around. Tristan thought it was so funny and kept saying "swoosh" and "again, cape again". So I made him his own cape after he got cleaned up and he started running around the house swooshing. So cute!
I finally gave in to everyone and gave Tristan his first hair cut. My friend cut off his little curls and it's amazing how different he looks now. Granted, the curly mullet was a little out of control but without it he no longer looks like a baby at all! Sad! It's definitely time for another one haha :)
Celebrating the 4th at my sis and bro-in-law's house
The fam on the fourth
My sis-in-law Jen and one of her boys, Tyler. Seriously... how cute is he!
Chad and his wishful thinking ;)
At the pool with Eddie & Gio. Haha notice that Tristan has on floaties and is sitting in his old floaty. He wasn't so sure about sharing his baby float with Gabriel (Eddie & Gio's boy).
My new favorite picture of Tristan. :)
He LOVES the "pol". Of course he kept trying to steal other kids floats...
As you can see, we had a fun 4th of July weekend with family and friends... nothing better than that!
