Then and now

I have thought about posting this pic, and then thought about not, but in the end, it's progress. It doesn't say before and after because it was then (last July) and now (well, last week).

The crazy thing about these pics is that the "Then" pic isn't even a true before pic because I actually gained quite a bit of weight from between mid-July and the end of the year. So, with that said, it makes me feel pretty dang proud of what I've accomplished. 

120 days of working out. Yesterday was a LONG day, and for reasons out of my control, I wasn't able to exercise until 10 p.m. last night, which I was EXHAUSTED, but I refused to have my streak end. 30 minutes on the bike...I did it!

These pictures also remind me that even if I have a bad day or days, even if I find myself stuck and doing everything right, it's all about not giving up! 

It will be a long time before I have my "after" pic, but I know it will happen. One day at time. I will get there!
