reflections
I think I may have mentioned on my facebook that a few weeks ago I had seen myself for the first time in a long time in a full length mirror {we don't have one here at home}. If you're not aware, I've been working on losing weight off & on since... forever, but really since Lydia was about one is when I started doing Weight Watchers online. I successfully went down about 10-15 pounds & was sort of half-heartedly going at it when this summer I started the meetings with my sister & a friend. Apparently, it's just what I needed to kick me into high gear... I'm down over 40 total, but about 27 since I started the meetings. So the look in the mirror really sort of took me by surprise & at first I could hardly believe it was me in the reflection. A few days later I took a few shots into our bathroom mirror to create this layout...

Along with the better reflection, I've been enjoying such new nicknames from my hubby like... slim, skinny, tiny... & really I like them all ;) My son, Collin, also happened to tell me the other day that I really, really looked good {that's something coming from an 11 yr old boy}. I'm enjoying the reflection {both in the mirror & thinking about where I've been in this body}, the road I'm on, the good I'm doing for myself & for the people I love. I thought with the new year coming up, this was a great time to post this. Because really, you can make a change any time in your life, any time of year, but why wait? Be ready to make the changes... because change... it's gOoD!

Help! I love your Jan. & Nov. calendars but am unable to download. I don't have a Mac so hopefully you can send another link. Thanks for your great work! (I just found your site!)
Wow! Congrats on the weight loss and all the fantastic nicknames and compliments. I just started WW and I love reading success stories. You look great!
