I am in complete amazement at the changes that have taken place in my life, and in awe of the gracious God Who has worked them! For one thing, I am not the same person I was-- not just a year ago, which I'm not either-- but eight weeks ago!!
Remember I started a 12 week transformation program? Well, here are my before photos.
I wouldn't have shared them before, I mean, ewwww. Some of this extra weight, i.e., FAT is thanks to my thyroid imbalance. But rather than be a slave to its ebb and flow, I took charge of my physical well-being and made some serious lifestyle changes.
I started swimming six days a week. It wasn't very much at first, as it didn't take much to make me totally out of breath. But it felt good to get in the pool, even if it was just to float for a while. And of course the hot tub didn't hurt either. ;o
After two weeks of that, I started my transformation. Workouts six days a week, strength training and intervals, and rest on Sunday. Even though it's not a part of the program, I kept swimming. Getting in the pool for ten laps (it's not a big pool, btw) was my reward for having done the regular workout.
After four weeks, here are the photos my dear husband took of me. I don't look at myself very often, so it was helpful to be able to see them and compare.
I'm 15 pounds lighter here, but more importantly I am more toned and defined. Waaaay cool!

Nice work! :)
You actually are inspiring me to work out.
Hopefully I won't let the feeling pass me by...I do so well, until coffee hour, then the mission's blown! :(
Seriously though, your smile in the second round of pics says it all! You look like you feel good.
Thank you! I DO feel well.
Stay tuned for overdue eight week pics, coming soon...
