Pictures speak a thousand words

Since I have been back from vacation workouts have not gone as planned :-( I only worked out 2 times last week and I really did not push myself. Operation Death of Fat Girl was on life support last week.  What was an eye opener was a picture my church posted from our youth conference on facebook. I did not know they took the pic, so I was very shocked to see it. The picture made me realize I have to step it up. There has been progress, I even have to let go of a pair of my favorite jeans because I can not keep them up and I actually fit into a pair of jeans that I could not fasten before(they were tight, but I could breath).  Here is the picture that gave me a wake up call.

 
That is me in the red shirt. I look a mess from the back! I will say a couple of months ago I could not get into those pants and now they are loose and they are part of my clothing rotation. Shirt is tight and I think I will not put back on until I lose a few more pounds.

Point being....when I see pictures like this I realize I have a long way to go.  In the morning I am going to try to run more and hopefully do 3 miles in 45 minutes....lets see how this goes. I will at least do it in less than an hour.  I also realized the 5k run is about 2 months away. I have to kick it into high gear.

I will be stepping on a scale on Tuesday....let's see how much damage I have done.
