Inspiration

Posted some pictures from a trip back in January 1992 this morning for a friend looking to travel. While I was 3 months pregnant, I was definitely at my healthiest, lifting weights, swimming, etc., the peak of my physical health. Looking at those pictures was such an inspiration.

That is the ME who is hidden under this extra weight. I love being physical. I love exercising. It's so hard for me now, at this weight, that I've forgotten that feeling. I started to feel it earlier this year when I was doing an hour a day on the elliptical, and then I got sick.

So I need to do something with this picture. I am the one on the right. We are at the top of Iguazu Falls, on the Argentine side.

This was at a time in my life when I didn't even THINK about being healthy, I just was. I'd gone into college at 230 lbs., and after three and a half years, looked like THIS - even at 3 months pregnant. I was physically active every day, ate a well rounded healthy diet, just because that's how I lived my life. I hadn't even been trying to lose weight, it just happened, as I started being physical and realizing how much I enjoyed it.

So THIS is my inspiration folks. She is waiting to come back. She is ready!
