A day for comparisons

All comparisons below are between May 3, 2007 and August 9, 2008. There is a 466 days OR 15 months and 6 days OR 64 weeks and 3 days gap between the two dates. But it is not just days that mark the difference. Read about my story set out in simple facts about.....me.


-----------------2007.------- --- ------------ ------------2008

I use much more vegetables, more fruit, I excercise MUCH more (well to be honest my only excercise then was doing my shopping), I own a brand new bicycle and go everywhere with it, I don't drink any soda which is not light, and then just a few a week, I use brown rice, pasta and bread, instead of the whate variations, I use half fat or low fat milk products. I eat very little candy, though chocalate is still my down fall. I never have crisps or dips in the house, only eat them when I am at a party.

My skin has improved, my abillity for tissue regeneration after I wound myself has increased drastically. I enjoy going out, movies, family, friends, dinner dates. I love sunshine and being outdoors, I have to be outside once a day at least. I have the stamina and strength to do serious DIY in my house, and have done up my bedroom with help from my friends!

I have more energy, do not feel beat at the end of the day, but enjoy my evenings. I sleep more and earlier. I have changed from a strictly evening and night person, to an all day person depending on the activities in the morning. I love my early mornings, a sleep sound, deep and healthy.

Your new picture is amazing! Even more than looking good, you shine with confidence! You're smiling in the other picture, but the attitude is completely different.

Checking in with measurements is a good way to measure your progress. Sometimes you can forget just how far you've come. And now that you've come this far, you know you can continue your journey.

Way to go!

OH MY GOD Willow!!!! You look FANTASTIC in this new photo. Very amazon and sexy!!!

I agree with Sayre. The difference in these two photos are as great as the Equator and Antartica. I want to feel as good as you look.

My niece is with me this month so I haven't been on line much but I was so happy to receive your delicious looking recipe. I will try it when my niece leaves as a special meal for me and my lover and will let you know how it turned out. Thank you so much.

I can't tell you how happy I am you are blogging more regularly again. I draw so much strength from you. For example, I love this post which lists your successes in more than pounds lost. It reminds me that this is about getting healthy as well. I need to work on my food this week.

I am looking forward to sharing in more of your successes and gorgeous photos. Keep going beautiful butterfly. (((Hugs)))
