Not too sure what the title should be?


A new me, almost. A better me, FOR SURE! 1 year ago I decided to have the Lap-band done and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I never want to come across as the bragging or boasting type but when I saw some old pictures of me on the computer today I had to show everyone, including myself, how far I've come. My journey is far from over and I'm sure it will be a life long challange but I know I'm on the right path this time. When I look back on those pictures I'm not ashamed but you can see in my face, literally, that I wasn't pleased with myself. So many things have changed in the past few months where it would be easy for me to slip up and fall back on to bad habits. Who really cares about what you look like under all these jackets and warm weather clothes right? WRONG! I do! I care and enough to take care of me. My health was being compromised and in turn was only hurting those around me. Now I enjoy so many things that I missed out on the past few years. I actually race the kids in Target's parking lot. I raced Dan too at Walmart but he won. I think I really won though! These past few months I've worn clothes that I wouldn't dream of before. Tight, form fitting and showing off my new lines. Trust me, I wouldn't rush to buy a bikini but I have my "tankini" ready to go! For those of you who haven't seen me in a while, here are some new pics. I'm proud of the hard work and can't wait to reach my goal. So to quote The Biggest Loser, "The next time you see me America ( or Arizona ) I'll be as hot as an Arizona summer!!!
