Finally

Apr 28, 2011

It finally happened today, and just in time. To start, I haven't been to the gym in a little over a week due to not feeling well last week and our trip to Reno. Although we did SO MUCH walking while in Reno too (I seriously never got tired!) :) We got home Monday afternoon but I've been horribly depressed so have been holding off on going to the gym. Why? Vacations for us are far and few between. It felt good to relax and have fun for a few days and I just wasn't ready to come back to reality yet.

So, today at work, I had to go outside and talk to a coworker. I've known him since junior high. We have two facilities here and he usually works down the street but has been working on my side for the past couple of weeks. Anyway, he pulled me aside and asked, "So Jennifer, what have you been doing, going to the gym hardcore or what??? You look great!" I smiled and told him I've lost almost 100 pounds. His response was, "Holy shit! You look SOOO good! When I saw you a couple of weeks ago I thought "Holy Shit!" He went on to tell me that he wanted to say something but was afraid I would be offended. I told him I just thought no one noticed because no one has really said anything. He just shook his head and laughed and said, "No! You look so good I can't believe it!" This totally made my day!!!

Yesterday I found pics of me here at work from about 4 months before surgery and compared  them to a pic I took in Reno over the weekend. Even I didn't realize how drastic the change is, and I'm only half way there!

I've decided that I am def going back to the gym tonight. No more putting it off. The weekend after next the kids and I are walking in a 5K. I need to start preparing myself for it
