A re-commitment

I am notorious for running around with a pony tail, sweat pants, fleece sweatshirt and no make-up in the winter time. I'm not even sure what came over me last night. But, I'd bought myself a flat ceramic hair straightener and styled my hair and decided I'd try to do something different with my make-up... THEN, I thought how silly of me to let this go to waste! So, I set up the lights and black background and did my very own photo shoot. I was planning on sharing them with dh, Joey to remind him; I'm not always in sweats and a ponytail.

Sweet Kisses Set by Trish Jones available at SBB store. Fiber and ribbons with ring by me.

But, it hit me that if I'm going to get to my goal size of 5 (preferably) but no more than a 7/8 by summertime, I'd better get my but in gear, like PRONTO! I've gotten way too comfortable with my 10's and 12's since about November. I've maintained my weight but that WON'T CUT IT. So, I did this layout!

I WILL put my heart into it like I had before. I lost 60 pounds from June - November of last year. And I still have 40 to go! YIKES!


I have the photo that Trevor took of me in the driveway. I knew he was taking it but I had every intention of deleting it. Turns out, between that and the possibility of HAVING to go to Daytona Beach over the 4th of July week... which I couldn't bare the thought of... I decided to make a change. I jumped on the treadmill and kept going and going for way over 200 miles in those months.

This will be the year that I actually look forward to vacation! I WILL make my goal!

You totally rock! I am so inspired by the work you have done so far that I am ready to go out and buy myself a treadmill. Congratulations on hard work paying off and cheering you on to your goal.

Alright Tonya, you have become such a HUGE motivation for me!!! I can relate so much to you. I'm a total ponytail, tennies and mesh pants kinda girl too though once in a while, I'll get out the camera and doll myself up a little. But I'm also making a committment to myself to get smaller too. I don't have a definite size in mind. I guess I just want to keep losing until I look in the mirror and don't feel the urge to tear up.
Best of luck to you completing your goal!!!
I'm in the 10-12 size right now. I think that I skipped right over the size 5 style and went straight into size 9 when i was in highschool! :)
