They Say a Picture is Worth 1000 Words

They say a picture is worth 1000 words.    

You tell me.

You might remember the pictures I shared with you when I first started this process and my blog.

While discussing the changes in my body with my husband and talking about doing a before & after (for now) picture, he said how he always doubts those before & after pictures in advertisements.  Different clothes.  Different Angles. 

Well, we are not professional photographers.  We did the best we could with the angle.  I pulled out that swim suit cover-up so you & I could get the same perspective.

Ready.

I'd say Cinch & Just 10 LBS is working !!

Mizu….Agua….Water !!!!!!

Necessary for us all ! 

Imperative to your health !

I have been fortunate that water is my drink of choice.  I’ve been drinking good high quality water for years.  Water is great for removing toxins and helps with weight loss.

Everyone knows water is important.  Unfortunately, many people don’t like the taste of water.  They choose other things to drink.  High calorie, sugar laden &/or artificially sweetened beverages are detrimental to our health.

What do you do?

I filter my water at home to make great tasting, safe, water.  The Get Clean Water Pitcher is a great option.  I sent my daughter to college with one.  They are great for the office too.  

My daughter brought some friends home from college.  I overheard one of her friends say “this is good water”.  If the water is good, they will drink it.:)

If you or your family is not drinking enough water, maybe you need to change the water your drinking. 

Give it a try.

Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot

When my son was little and he changed whether he liked a food or didn’t, he would explain it by saying…

“My taste budgets have changed”.

Well, My taste budgets have changed !

Now I am always thinking…Can jalapenos go on or in this meal?  I love them!

I never remember eating them before.  

"Add the spice - Release the salt"  

This just might be my new mantra.

I AM WORTH THIS WORK !

Spring….it is a coming!

The sun is shining.  The daffodils are starting to get ready to bloom in my yard.  Spring….it is a coming!

I’ve been antsy.  I want my spring & summer clothes.  Although it was 34 degrees when I left my house this morning, I pulled out a spring top to wear with my new “size 10” jeans as I planned for a day of networking.  To my shock, this top fits differently then when I packed it away last fall.  Why shouldn’t it?  I am transforming my body.  It flows over, instead of clinging to my body.

I’ve always been one of those people that doesn’t like to see myself in pictures.  I see the flaws. Lately, I notice myself taking and posting more pictures of myself.   Instead of seeing the things I don’t like ( like those freckles, double chins etc…), I am focusing on what I do like.  For me, a sign of me being at my best is the definition line of my collar bone & the definition in my arms. 

I can’t wait for more spring weather and to rediscover clothes I’ve packed away.

What's Your Sign ?

I love symbols.  They help me to stay focused. 

On my right wrist, I wear a “God Bless My Marine” rubber bracelet. I have worn it since my son’s marine boot camp graduation in February 2008.  It used to be red….now very faded.  I’ll wear it until his service is complete.

Before my daughter left for college, she gave me a beautiful silver bracelet that I also wear on my right wrist.  It helps me feel close to her, even though she’s not living home.

My yoga mat has a tree on it.  The tree is a popular yoga pose.  That tree helps me focus on my strength, balance & stamina during class.  When I feel like releasing a pose, I focus on that tree.

Reminds me of a t-shirt I came across.

Countdown.....

      

          14……

          12…...

          10 !

When I started this process I was wearing size 14 jeans.  Then I shopped in my closet for the size 12, when the size 14 became too baggy.  Recently the comments regarding my baggy pants have increased.  Time to take action.

Today I bought a new pair…..size 10!

Why did I only buy one pair?

I’m not stopping here.  This is a process.  I thought I would ride out the baggy jeans with summer clothes…however snow on April 1^st made me rethink my strategy.

Reminds me of a statement I’ve heard….”It’s about goal jeans.”
