So... After a long holiday weekend of indulging in BBQ and beer... Comes the reality of putting on the now very snug fitting work clothes and stepping on the scale... that is Monday morning. Admittedly I am no longer the person that you see in the avatar or profile pics. Since I took those pictures late last year just before joining the forum... I have probably put on about 20 lbs, which for someone who is only 5'6, is a lot. None of my femme clothes fit and not many of my guy clothes fit either. Well... Enough is enough... Time for a change! I'm going to turn it around starting today. No more weekends of overindulgence at restaurants and bars and time to get back in the gym. I am usually pretty good about working out regularly but it has just gotten away from me since last year. I am posting this as a way to hold myself accountable... For motivation and inspiration... And maybe there are others out there who would like to start with me today... It could be fun. I promise to keep updating this thread with my progress every week or two... and once a good 25 lbs come off... I promise to post new pictures... Hopefully in about 2-3 months. Nothing is more motivating than buying some new clothes and getting dolled up. Well... Wish me luck. =)
