June Challenge

I was involved in a challenge this last month with some girls on Facebook. We posted our goals and a motivational phrase and had to take some pictures of ourselves. I don't like pictures of myself. I am not confident in my own skin. But for the challenge it was necessary. I am posting them here to hopefully give people there own inspiration. Some people made drastic changes and that works for them. I wanted to make simple changes that would last and help myself and my family in the long run. 

I have finally gotten to the point that I am ok with my weight. According do doctors I am "overweight".  However, I am the same exact size right now as when I weighed in the "normal" weight range. What's the difference? I have muscle. 

I still have a stomach and that will be something that I am always working on. I had one when I was kid even. People will still ask me at least once a month if I am pregnant and I will still get upset. But in the end I will be ok. I will go the gym work hard and then look in the mirror and be happy with where I am at. 

I am a stronger singer, more confident, happier, satisfied person overall. I still have things to work on and things I want to get better at and change, but it's a process and I am getting there. 

Slow and steady wins the race. 

So here is my before and after.
