Biggest Loser - 2 month update

So it's been a while since I have posted anything about my progress.  I have had some ups and downs, but as of late, I have been really searching for some motivation.  Gone are the days of 2 and 3 pound losses, and I'm getting to the point where I am struggling to see a loss of 0.2.  And, while I am REALLY close to one of my goals, I am really struggling to finish it out.  Ugh.  Someone slap some sense into me!

I have been super busy at work, and this past weekend I had a cupcake wedding to deliver to in KC.  Let's just say I am struggling to find and extra free hour to spend at the gym.  I have been doing some workouts at the house, here and there, but not the 4 or 5 days a week for a least an hour, like I feel I should be. 

So tonight, I did something that I was going to wait until the end of March to do.  At this point I'm desperate for motivation, and I am oh-so-glad I did.  Tonight, ladies and gents, I broke out my camera and loaded up all my weekly pics to do a side-by-side.  

Talk about a shocker.  I have obviously seen some progress on the scale, however, there were a few weeks that I gained a pound, but in these pictures, you can see positive changes...every....single....week.  There were even times when I was taking the pictures where I thought I probably looked better the week before, or that I should skip, because I had gained or my numbers were pretty much the same.  Oh how glad I am that I stuck with it and took all the pictures anyways. 

So....drum roll please.....

Let me just say a few comments about the photos. 

• One, these are not edited, enhanced or photoshopped.  (Jay's comment was "it looks like you have been photoshopped" lol)
• Two, I didn't feel as disgusting in that moment, as I do looking at it now.  Yes, I felt like I needed to tone up, but apparently not as much as I needed to. 
• Three, I didn't realize how much of a difference 9 lbs can make.  I know I have gained muscle and toned up but, when I look at these pictures, it really put things into perspective. 
• Four, after participating in this activity, I HIGHLY recommend this activity for anyone who is trying losing weight.
• Five, I have not starved myself.  I have not taken any supplements.  I have ate healthy (with some cheat days), cut out a lot of pop, and worked-out.
• And finally, I literally keep having to remind myself that this is what I now look like.  We all see ourselves everyday, so sometimes its hard to notice the changes, good and bad.  I keep telling myself "Jenna, that picture was 4 days ago, that's how you look now, 4 days ago"  It still isn't quite setting in. 

So friends, moral of the story, even though I am exhausted, and I have a busy day tomorrow, motivation is back!  Guess who won't be skipping a workout tonight?!?!? This girl. 

Rock Chalk,
