Annual Watermelon Pic!

  • Hi! It's time for my "watermelon photo"!

    Some background:
    In 2014, I was carrying a watermelon into my company picnic and asked a coworker to take a picture. "Just like in Dirty Dancing!"
    When I saw the picture, I was devastated.

    One year later, in June of 2015, I remembered that photo and asked my husband to take one of me, holding a watermelon, so I could compare them side by side. I was feeling a little down and frustrated, like I wasn't getting anywhere. When I saw 2014 next to 2015, I cried. A LOT. I had no idea how far I had come.

    On Saturday, I realized that "hey, it's June again!" Now, I've been in a plateau for the past 4 months, and I only need to lose about 20 more pounds, and I don't really see too much of a difference from last year and this year....but here it is. The Watermelon Pic.

    It's simply diet/calorie counting/portion control, exercise, weight lifting, boxing, cardio, tears, laughter and support.

    You've got this.
