Moving Forward~ Moving On and Moving Over!

Ok there is a LOT of moving going on right now

1. Physically - I am moving - from Florida to Virginia  . my "other" job demands it , and so do I , a little bit Anti-Florida, this has not been the most hospitable state, and I'm looking forward to seasons and real trees. Body concious has definitions here,( I was rejected as a volunteer for an animal rescue organiations public appearances because i was not "fit" enough) But there is so much widespread issues other than health it no longer befuddles me why there are so many "bad" shows filmed in the miami dade and broward counties
 ( Cops/animal rescue/ south beach tow)

2. Moving forward. The change of place also means a quantitative change in my job duties which means i will be returning to live one on one coaching and fitness classes... Watch out Virginia this fat girl has been doing a lot of "latin/hip hop Zumbe esque dancing"

3. Moving on , other chapters in my life have come to an end , and I am looking forward to the changes , that are trending on the horizon.


 oh . in a little bit I will be posting  some progress pictures.

inspiring poem---

Here on this Figure Cast a Glance.
But so as if it were by Chance,
Your eyes not fixt, they must not Stay,
Since this like Shadowes to the Day
It only represent's; for Still,
Her Beauty's found beyond the Skill
Of the best Paynter, to Imbrace
These lovely Lines within her face.
View her Soul's Picture, Judgment, witt,
Then read those Lines which Shee hath writt,
By Phancy's Pencill drawne alone
Which Peces but Shee, can justly owne.


Margaret Cavendish-1666

reflections

I am often surprised when people as me for before and after pictures. I am not done losing weight , and will not be I suspect for another year ..
so so far there is no "after" I am still a work in progress
I know those photos are very inspiring, and unless they are dated have no logical proof of what can happen
Weight loss is a non linear journey , its ongoing and it really never ends.. you have to focus on staying in shape and toned and fit , otherwise you risk becoming your before picture again.

here are some progress pictures .

May 2014


now what do these prove ?
NOTHING the first 3 pictures are all right around 275-265
the bottom one is about 255
there is not a lot of difference is there? but its about a 20lb loss...
See weight loss - unless its extreme with your fat self is not always glaringly obvious , not even 20 lbs. Hairstyles change easier than your weight
