Then and Now...

I always get emotional watching The Biggest Loser. It brings back so many memories of struggle, getting knocked down and getting right back up again, countless hours in the gym, counting calories, points, etc. I decided that I needed to do my own then and now pictures. I don't ever want to forget where I came from. I don't ever want to get too proud. I always want to strive to be better.

Here I was summer 2004:

Both of the above pictures were taken in Mexico during my study abroad program with Texas A&M University.

And now Winter 2010/2011:

Oscar and I after a 10mile run. I completed it in 1:31:19. I was one proud girl!

My amazing family. Staying healthy and fit together - forever.

I will never not look back. It helps me keep myself accountable. I praise God for the ability, knowledge, and strength to stay healthy and fit.

Thank you ladies... isn't it great that we can inspire and encourage each other?:) Both of you look amazing. Pull out anything that brings you to the point of job well done currently. Clothes, pictures, etc. I threw all my clothes out - sometimes I wish I would've kept a pair of jeans or a shirt... Thanks for your sweet words:)
