I took my before picture yesterday. Yep, that was a vision I could have lived without. However, as much as I really didn't like what I saw, it was a good exercise - NO MORE DENIAL NOW!



It's actually motived me even more. I am more determined than ever to lose this weight, once and for all. As much as I didn't want to get up and exercise today, I got up and did my exercise. As much as I wanted to have our standard Saturday morning pancakes or french toast with loads of butter and syrup, I didn't. I just had my protein shake while hubby had his french toast.

Tomorrow is Fathers Day and we're supposed to go out to the valley and have brunch with the in-laws and as much as I love my Papa Jack and love spending time with them, I know there is going to be a lot of fattening food. I also know I'm not going to have very many healthy choices available to me either.

I'm going to do the best I can and hopefully, one meal isn't going to sabatoge my whole diet. Monday morning I will be back to work on my diet and health goals. Special occasions happen and we need to make allowances for them. When it comes to spending time with family or avoiding them because of diet restrictions, my family will win out, every time.
