The Results Are In!!

As promised in the previous post I said I would share before and after pictures of the 8 week slim-down challenge I did.

I so wish I would have taken a full-length body picture when I very first started working out in March.  But, the before picture I have here is the one taken at the beginning of our 8 week slim-down challenge.

We had our final weigh-in today.  I lost a total of 15 pounds in the 8 weeks. BUT, I’ve lost 33 since March!! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout!! I didn’t win any of the ‘pot’ but I’m still a winner!  I’ve done it the right way. I’ve eaten healthy and I’ve worked my tail off 5-6 days a week at the YMCA.

I’ve gone from a size 16 to a size 10! I’m loving the way my body looks now. The only thing I would change is my glowing whiteness! LOL!  Dang, I so wish I could tan.

Without further ado, here I am 8 weeks ago and today!

Want to know how I celebrated?  I ate PIZZA!!! LOL!  As a matter of fact, I ate HALF of the pizza!!! It was sooooo GOOD! It’s never tasted better. 

Of course, this week I’ll have to work that off!
