So, a friend of mine asked me to send him a recent picture of me the other day. I chose a picture that I had taken after working out one day. I haven’t quite mastered getting a “full body shot” alone in a picture, so I don’t have very many. But in this pic, I noticed that there is a reflection of my body in the mirror. When I noticed it, I thought to myself “is that me”???? I actually have a shape! Defined hips! And my stomach isn’t taking up my entire midsection anymore!!!

Look in the background, in the mirror, and you can see it:

Wow, I can’t believe that’s really MY BODY…I actually have a shape!!!

This may be just the motivation I need to get it into gear again. There’s another one of those parties this weekend though with all my friends and the knockoff publix cake made by yours truly…which will require two more weeks of phase I after Saturday.

*Sigh…* I know I can’t live in isolation forever…but it’s ten times harder to remain on plan when hanging out with my friends and making that dayum cake! And they’re not the “reinforcers of the diet”…so to speak, so they’re forever telling me “just one slice of cake/pizza won’t hurt! Just one martini won’t hurt!”
