Can't believe it....

I have lost 6lbs in a week. I gave up carbonated, sugary drinks (it will be 1 week on Saturday). I've been exercising. I feel great. Can't wait to add more to my totals. Since I never post any pictures of my self, I'm going to post a picture to have a before picture on the blog. This picture was taken on Christmas day. It was when we were playing Just Dance 3. I was so out of shape and just gasping for air when we were playing. I hated that feeling. I still do. It embarrasses me. I want to be able to play games with the girls and not be out of breath. I want to enjoy the little time we have with each other before they are embarrassed to be with me. I've been on this journey before, but this time just feels different. Maybe it's because of my approaching 40th birthday. Maybe it's because I'm never in any pictures with the kids because I'm embarrassed. I don't know, but I'm glad I found that fire.
