Starting weight (7/15/08):  279.8
Yesterday:  271.2    Today:  270.4    Loss-so-far: 9.4 lbs.

Sunday afternoon my husband and I dropped three posts into the ground and mixed and poured cement to ensure that the posts stayed where we wanted them.  We did this out in the heat of the day and by the time the sun was going down we were both sweaty and dirty.  So what do I do?  I handed a camera to my son and asked him to take a picture of me, LOL.

Not just any picture… THE picture.  The dreaded “before” picture that I never got around to taking, not in six whole months of calorie-counting!  Well now as a show of good faith in the future (and in this new plan I’m on), it occurred to me that it was time.

 So here I am, all 270 lbs. of me.  (And oh yeah, that’s my cute Mustang Convertible in the background.  Have I mentioned that I love my car?!  LOL)

I am CONFIDENT (this time) that in a few months, I will have new pictures to share, neat pictures that show the progress I’ve made, the change in my upper arms, the decrease in my belly… I AM GOING TO DO THIS.  I have never been more committed to anything, not even when I quit smoking last year.  I want to be fit.  I want to feel good.  I do not want to be a slave to ANYTHING, not cigarettes, not carbs, not sugar… not FOOD.

No one ever leaves me comments - well, I’ve come to accept that - but does EVERYONE get this spam crap on their blog?!?!?  Isn’t there anything that 3FC can do to stop it?!? OMG I get like 4 or 5 spam comments a day, I’m totally over it. 

Am I the only one??
